Lightning Talks
summary
Rapid-fire demos name concrete wins and failures: IRB tips & tricks shows live coding flounder but lists plugins, prompt tricks and per-project .irbrc hacks; a REST piece argues for hypermedia / HATEOAS over pretty URLs; a Tropo demo builds a voice/text adventure with grammar XML; a DonorsChoose entry reports DonorsChoose $2,000 funded for classroom books; a federated microblog prototype (OurStatus) hits about 5,000 users and 125k pageviews with 13k updates — prototypes, APIs (Tropo, Heroku, MongoDB, Sinatra), contest wins, and what actually worked or broke.
