…rich client-side applications. While we have a strong understanding of how the server executes our code, we also need to have a deep understanding of how the client (browser) executes our code. Don't look at the browser as a black box, but instead start to look at it as a full operating system that your applications run in.
New Relic was proud to be a sponsor of GoGaRuCo 2012. And we're already counting down to GoGaRuCo 2013. See you there.
Aaron Patterson gave a talk at GoGaRuCo 2010 about the latest changes in Ruby 1.9.2′s standard library and one of the topics he spoke on was MiniTest. The Ruby community has been particularly innovative in the world of testing and Ruby 1.8′s Test::Unit library is circa 2003, providing nothing but the most basic testing API. Every Ruby project I've ever worked on has skipped Test::Unit and pulled in many different test gems (e.g. rspec, shoulda, mocha, flexmock) to provide …
While at GoGaRuCo this weekend, I finally made good on an experiment I had been thinking about for a while: a static compiler for Ruby . I thought I'd share it with you good people today.
First we have a simple Ruby script with a class in it:
We compile it with fastruby, and it produces two .java source files: Hello.java and RObject.java.
Hello.java implements the methods the Ruby class does in the script, and calls the same methods (with some mangling for invalid …

… Real Time Rack ". In San Francisco, at GoGaRuCo, I gave a presentation about " Smalltalk On Rubinius - or How To Implement Your Own Programming Language ". At this past year's RubyConf in New Orleans, I spoke about " Message in a Bottle " and last but not least I gave a presentation titled " Beyond Ruby " at RubyConf Argentina in Buenos Aires.
In fact DHH, is one of the few counter-examples I can think of - after the first Gogaruco, when these concepts were explained to him he said roughly "Hmm, that makes sense, if you are already the minority in the room, and here for professional development or work, that wouldn't be very fair, to be forcefully exposed to something that highlights just how in the minority you are." When he did that I gained even more respect for him than when I got in a technical debate with him …
…stable release. If there are no regressions I will be releasing 3.1.1 final next September 16th during GoGaRuCo.

…Shane Becker's Better Presentation Slides lightning talk from GoGaRuCo 2010 (at the 45:05 timecode).
Send your slides to the organizer. PDF is usually a good common denominator format, but including the original helps if your presentation has builds, video, etc. Sending multiple formats is great to cover all your bases. Some confs ask for your slides in advance, but that seems far less common these days when you don't have an A/V team running your slides for you, so …
…check it out and submit some proposals!
