Ruby on Rails eXchange: David A. Black on Rails Choices

Rails Choices
In spite of being well known as opinionated software, Rails does let you choose among different possible ways to accomplish lots of the things you have to do: templating, session storage, application vs. database-level validations, and so forth. As Rails moves towards version 3, choice and modularity are increasing. In this talk we'll look at some specific choice examples, as well as evisiting the general question of just how opinionated Rails is.
