RailsConf Europe - Wednesday Sessions - 3

This is my last session of the day as i’ll have to run about by 5 and dive in a taxi to catch my flight.
Extending Rails to Use the Presenter Pattern
The Extending Rails to Use the Presenter Pattern could be re-titled talking Ruby On Rails beyond MVC by Jay Fields of ThoughtWorks.
He lost me quickly in ThoughtWorks-Speak, referencing everything in the ideas of Enterprise patterns. It’s Martin Fowler world. It’s tough to talk to people who may not be fully versed in your lingo and get the subtle references.
I’m gathering some ideas that Presenters are a way to make testing controllers easier and view testing isn’t really worth it (which I’ll agree with).
I’ll suggest checking out “Jay’s blog’:http://blog.jayfields.com/ if you are interested in these things as I didn’t get much out of this at all, Jay doesn’t even like the pattern. It was only about 25 minutes as well…. The person behind me just said “I’m feeling a bit swissed…..” and next to me “Possibly one of the most over-hyped talks here”
