This is a talk about the Arduino open source physical computing platform; a cheap, useful, fun micro-controller ... and it's loads of fun, even if you break into a cold sweat at the thought of picking up a soldering iron.

CoffeeScript is a little language that compiles into JavaScript. It's
a thought experiment that aims to test how far we can stretch
JavaScript semantics without adding any runtime libraries or
outputting reams of generated code.
Recommended for folks who are interested in languages that run in the browser as well
as the server.

Rails has reached a degree of popularity among web developers, so there's a lot of Rails 2.x series code floating around. Of course, once Rails 3 is released, it's not like these apps will explode, ceasing to function in an any meaningful way, but it would be nice to get all the new hotness that this release brings.

Testing is JavaScript's Achilles' heel: the language is powerful with
good library support, but testing practices are cumbersome to
non-existent. This talk demonstrates a set of tools that make

JavaScript such as the browser environment and asynchronous
programming.

While JavaScript is ubiquitous on the web it isn't really well known outside
of the browser. All of that is about to change. Node.js is a fast,
non-blocking, event driven server that is opening the door for JavaScript on
the server. For everyone who ever wanted to use JavaScript everywhere, or
wondered just how fast a server can go, this talk if for you.
