Design Workflows For Rails We’ve come a long way since the early days of Rails. And the entire Rails system, while much more robust, can be intimidating and downright frustrating for designers to get started with. In this talk we’ll discuss a couple of different strategies for integrating designers into your team and what you can do to optimize your current designer/developer workflow. We’ll be discussing a couple of tools that can assist you in this (including John’s very own Serve project) and will ask the if any of this can be applied to Open Source. Along the way we will be talking a lot about the value of taking a design-first approach to software development and you will walk away with a number of practical approaches that you can apply to your current project even if you aren’t working with a designer.

"Just before Christmas I saw a BBC article where a man in Ireland found a letter written to Santa by his mother, when she was 10 years old, a 100 years ago. When I saw her handwriting in the photo, it seemed like a part of her was embedded into the faded, yellowed paper. The artefact felt like an extension of her. In a world where we type more than write, I wondered how I could embed a facsimile of that physical connection into my work on Mapalong. I wondered if, in a hundred years time, the data people create now could have the same resonance that hand written letters do, today."

"My central concern, is to figure out how design can be employed to make complex ideas visible and understandable so that we can make better products."
