Today I give a quick run through of railsdiff.org and how it can be a handy tool when performing rails upgrades, whether they be a minor version change or a major version update. This is something I accompany with the official rails upgrade guide when performing a major version upgrade: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/upgrading_ruby_on_rails.html To see a screencast on using railsdiff.org check it out on youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoDu-gkFkxE If you have any questions, suggestions, please feel free to ping me on twitter @pixelstackcom or @codercatchup.

A super short introduction into what the podcast is about (this is my first podcast, and my first episode ever, so be gentle). In future episodes we will be discussing all things web with other fellow web developers, see how they work, what makes them tick and more.
