RubyConf India 2011 - But the language supports it

In RubyConf India 2011, Aakash and Niranjan spoke about a few features of the Ruby language which when used wisely allow programmers to solve problems elegantly but if they are used without caution can lead to bad code.

Discussing language constructs with fellow developers in the context of solving a particular problem is something we do routinely. While most such conversations are productive and useful, a fair portion degenerate into angry brawls. A pattern we've observed in the latter situation is that a surprising number of times the argument is that "Why shouldn't I use language feature X to achieve objective Y - after all, the language supports X."

RubyConf India 2011 - I can haz HTTP

Niranjan Paranjape and Sidu Ponnappa of C42 Engineering recently spoke about consuming and producing HTTP APIs in the Ruby ecosystem at RubyConf India 2011. Here are the slides we used and a recording of the talk itself.

I can haz HTTP: Consuming and producing HTTP APIs in the Ruby ecosystem from Innovation & Technology Trust on Vimeo.

The Ruby ecosystem is pretty awesome when it comes to developing or consuming HTTP APIs. On the publishing front, the Rails framework is an attractive option because it supports publishing what are popularly (but inaccurately) referred to as 'RESTful' APIs quickly and effortlessly. On the consumer side, the Ruby ecosystem provides several very fluent and powerful libraries that make it easy to consume HTTP based APIs.

Since a significant proportion of projects today require that APIs be both published and consumed, many of them wind up choosing Ruby as a platform for the reasons mentioned above. This talk is targeted at folks that are currently on such projects, or anticipate being on such projects in the future.

RubyConf India 2011 - Continuous Delivery in Ruby

Brian Guthrie of ThoughtWorks & Srushti Ambekallu of C42 Engineering spoke at RubyConf India 2011 about the tools & practices that will ensure you are able to continuously deliver your Ruby projects.

Ruby is generally accepted as a language that lends itself to being able to develop and release features quickly. But, how can we really crank up the frequency of getting to features to the market? And just as importantly, how can we make sure we can deploy with confidence?
