 m (or What to do when the thrill is gone from your day job ) - Dave Dumares
 q\n\nLast year Dave and a friend wrote a Rails application that manages ret
 urned merchandise authorisation (for tracking products that are returned to
  manufacturer for repair). The application uses a tabbed layout and work qu
 eues to provide a work-flow user interface which allows authorized users to
  create new RMAs\, receive units for repair\, log repair work and create pa
 cking slips for shipment back to the customer. Work Queues and Wizard work 
 flows are implemented using RJS for snappy Ajaxian views.\n\nThe system tha
 t Dave will demonstrate licenses the following technolgies:\n- The system g
 enerates barcodes using a barcodes gem by Clinton R. Nixon.\n- Provides aut
 hentication using the Rails Engine version of the Salted Login Generator\;\
 n- Implements tabs using TabNav (svn://svn.seesaw.it/tabnav) and\n- Display
 s data in a live grid using ActiveWidgets 2.0.1 Standard Edition.\n\nThe de
 velopment was done using 1st: RadRails\; 2nd: Arachno Ruby: 3rd: Apatana\nC
