E-xact’s experience at RailsConf this past weekend was truly positive, involving some excellent networking opportunities, answering questions, and learning from Rails greats during sessions and keynotes.

Our very own Emil Marceta gave a presentation on Sunday, which is now available online:

Three days, one company speaker, four team members and 500 kms later, E-xact’s journey to RailsConf 2008 in Portland Oregon was a great success.

One of E-xact’s developers, Matthew Carriere, particularly enjoyed EngineYard’s presentation, “Reading about how you could be doing things is theory, having Ezra and the EngineYard crew tell you how you SHOULD be doing things was doctrine.” Matthew also noted, “Another highlight was the keynote by Joel Spolsky who gave an engaging talk about design and culture.”

Our theme of “Payments on Rails” featured our Realtime Payment Manager application and its journey over the years from .NET technology to its path onto Rails.

Our payment processing and transaction management has been going full steam ahead since its launch last year and we feel we truly prove Rails for enterprise. Being able to share this story with all those at RailsConf was a real treat and we enjoyed the questions and comments from all those who visited our booth.
