RailsConf 2014 - Where did the OO go? Views Should be Objects Too!
31By Andrew Warner
Is app/views the worst part of your codebase? Have you ever told someone on your team "remember to update the client-side views too"? Too long has the node.js community touted their advantage of using the same code on the client and the server. It's time that Rails got a few punches in.
We should think of views as objects, not template files. In this talk I show how that lets us tease apart presentation from data, and build logic-less templates that are shared between client and server.
