I will be speaking at cf.Objective() 2011 in a little less than an hour. If you’re around, come by to get a free Wheels t-shirt!

Awesome scotch glass logo design by the team at Hipervinculo.

Another great cf.Objective() is over – Wheels

The second part, went over how Wheels works, server request are handled, understanding the Operation Trail (URL), and the File Structure.  This part we started by creating the normal, say controller, hello action but starting from the view, then working to the controller.  This was done to show how easy prototyping can be accomplished.
