The Rails Edge Conference: Expectations

I'll be attending the Rails Edge Conference in Reston, Virginia for the next few days. Hopefully this will get me to move Zlides.com and GreatUncle.com into the next phases. I find that I'm stuck doing things in the Ruby on Rails 1.0 way and I think this will get me to take advantage of the new approaches, the new deployments and the new practices that version 1.2 provides. I also have a couple of "translation into code" problems that I hope to get some help with. More on that later.
