Scotland On Rails Presentations Now Online: 27 Awesome Videos

Did you miss the Scotland on Rails conference this year? No need to fret though, as Engine Yard are hosting videos of all the presentationsmade at this popular conference. With 27 presentations covering topics from deployment to testing, there is something here for everyone.

This is an awesome way to "catch up" with the spirit of what's been going on at some of the recent conferences, especially as a few of the talks have been given elsewhere too (such as RailsConf). Enjoy!
