My railsconf sessions in my sidebar

Jesse Newland got the JSON API a day ago and already built a reusable Javascript widget to show conference session selections on his blog sidebar.

So I added it to my blog too!

Feel free to use his code, and write your own CSS to make it look sexy on your site.

Remember, its dynamic JSON (or XML) – so any changes you make to your conf plan will automatically show up next time the widget is displayed.

Doubly remember – use your JSON url not Jesse’s… its the link “json” at the top of each conference page, when you’re logged in. Alternately, just change jnewland to your username. Yeah, that’s simpler.

Thanks Jesse!
