RailsConf is the annual conference for Ruby on Rails developers, and this year it was held in Austin Texas from April 23rd – 25th.

The conference is three days of the biggest names in the Rails community talking about ways to improve your code, how to contribute to the community, and new ways of doing things.  Many of the RailsConf sessions are online now.
