Here are slides from my talk earlier today entitled “Aristotle and the Art of Software Development”. I’m not sure how helpful the slides will be without the narration, but fortunately Confreaks recorded the conference. I’ll post a video (or link) here whenever it becomes available.

Meet the Rail Spikes
- Eric Chapweske develops Ruby-fueled projects at Slantwise Design's worldwide headquarters in Minneapolis. When not reading through Rails source code, he can likely be found in a kitchen mastering his Korean cooking skills.
- Jon Dahl started using Ruby on Rails in 2005 and hasn't looked back. He is a founder of Zencoder, a startup offering video encoding software as a service.
- Luke Francl is a developer at Tumblon. He came to Ruby from the Java world and still thinks database constraints belong in the database. His personal blog is Just Looking.

Jon, really enjoyed your talk. You should consider a book exploring the subject. It would bring a fresh perspective to language design choices.
Hi Dean – thanks for the kind words. I enjoyed giving the talk. :) I only caught the tail end of yours, but as an amateur functional languages enthusiast, I look forward to the video.
Great talk, I enjoyed it!
