Single Table Inheritance

Last night I gave a talk on Single Table Inheritance to the Austin on Rails user group. Single Table Inheritance (STI) is a way to have several Rails models all extend from a base class sharing properties and behavior. If y’all haven’t checked out the Rails phenomenon, I wholeheartedly recommend drinking the kool-aid. It’s a fabulous framework and Ruby is a joy to program in.
The presentation went great and I got a lot of good questions from the audience. I used Eric Meyer’s fantastic S5 slideshow code to present with and the slides are up on my personal site (twelvelabs) if anyone wants to take a peek.
