Presentation Abstract
Rails is an excellent framework for (very) rapidly creating interactive web applications. Sometimes, the price of this power comes at the expense of understanding. Bugs breed, but where are they living?  When your Rails app has bugs hiding in the darker corners, Pry just might be the light you need to shine. During this type-along presentation, we will dive into a working Rails application to single step, examine execution stacks, examine Rails objects (and instances thereof), and in general, make Rails our... uh... friend.
