Flex on Rails

This week I gave two talks: The first one at the German web conference webinale in the Dynamic Language World sub section. The talk was about the integration of Flex and Rails.

Please note that for both presentations the SlideShare preview embedded in this post really sucks. Download the files if you want to have a look.

In the example above that would be something like "Electronica, Dan

Running the iTunes genre tagger script with OS X Automator
