See the
announcement at Ajaxian, and scroll down to the bottom for my review of the book.
Several people have approached me since RubyConf ‘07 about posting the slides from my talk. While normally I would not hesitate to do so, in this case, I pause since, well, they suck. They are useless. They were and are merely socially mandated background images, a kind of psychological contract between myself and the audience to prove that I thought about this stuff before I took the stage. The meat of the presentation was all in TextMate and terminal.
So, instead of posting slides, I hereby post the links to all the interesting stuff I talked about, in no particular order:
- restful_open_id_authentication—a plugin for Rails that provides both OpenID based authentication AND regular restful auth against the local database
- MyOpenId—the OpenID server I use for my identity and for demos
- ruby-openid —the gem containing the wrapper bits for all the OpenID http calls and token processing
- ruby-yadis—the Yadis gem can also be found here, which includes directory services for OpenID providers
- rubycas-client—both a gem and a Rails plugin, easily enables authentication via a private CAS server
- rubycas-server—a Ruby/Camping CAS implementation
- JA-SIG CAS—the original Java implementation of CAS, as a distributable .war file
Feel free to drop me a line about any of this information, and I hope the talk was useful!
Tomorrow afternoon I am at
RubyConf, doing a half-day tutorial on refactoring and contributing to open source Ruby projects. Get the slides
here, and remember to bring your laptop.
