For those who find some level of enjoyment out of watching Ruby talks, most of the RubyConf talks from the past week are available online at:

Marcel Molina’s look at “What Makes Code Beautiful?” is always worth watching, if only to constrast with PHP for a little deeper insight. Both IronRuby and JRuby have their own talks – as does Rubinius.

Of particular interest since I’m developing the PHP port, David Chelimsky and Dave Astels presentation of “Behaviour Driven Development with RSpec” is also online. It’s Ruby specific of source, but the core ideals represented by BDD are worth being informed about.
