  • The Ruby Way: Solutions and Techniques in Ruby Programming
    Praise for The Ruby Way, Third Edition “Sticking to its tried and tested formula of cutting right to the techniques the modern day Rubyist needs to know, the latest edition of The Ruby Way keeps its strong reputation going for the latest generation of the Ruby language.” Peter Cooper Editor of Ruby Weekly “The authors’ excellent work and meticulous attention to detail continues in this lat- est update; this book remains an outstanding reference for the beginning Ruby pro- grammer—as well as the seasoned developer who needs a quick refresh on Ruby. Highly recommended for anyone interested in Ruby programming.” Kelvin Meeks Enterprise Architect Praise for Previous Editions of The Ruby Way “Among other things, this book excels at explaining metaprogramming, one of the most interesting aspects of Ruby. Many of the early ideas for Rails were inspired by the first edition, especially what is now Chapter 11. It puts you on a rollercoaster ride between ‘How could I use this?’ and ‘This is so cool!’ Once you get on that roller- coaster, there’s no turning back.” David Heinemeier Hansson Creator of Ruby on Rails, Founder at Basecamp “The appearance of the second edition of this classic book is an exciting event for Rubyists—and for lovers of superb technical writing in general. Hal Fulton brings a lively erudition and an engaging, lucid style to bear on a thorough and meticulously exact exposition of Ruby. You palpably feel the presence of a teacher who knows a tremendous amount and really wants to help you know it too.” David Alan Black Author of The Well-Grounded Rubyist “This is an excellent resource for gaining insight into how and why Ruby works.

  • Apache Thrift and Ruby by Randy Abernethy
    Apache Thrift and Ruby By Randy Abernethy In this article, excerpted from The Programmer’s Guide to Apache Thrift, we will install Apache Thrift support for Ruby and build a simple Ruby RPC client and server. Ruby is a flexible programming language used for systems administration scripting, web programming and general purpose coding. Many important DevOps tools are written in Ruby, such as Puppet, Chef, and Vagrant. Ruby is behind one of the most popular web frameworks, Rails and Ruby is also a key language in many test frameworks, including RSpec and Cucumber. Ruby provides the best features of Perl’s string processing and adds objects, functional programming features, reflection and automatic memory management. When combined with Apache Thrift Ruby becomes an effective RPC service platform as well as an incredibly versatile language for RPC service mocking and testing. To build Apache Thrift clients and servers in Ruby we will need to install the Apache Thrift IDL Compiler and the Apache Thrift Ruby library package. In Ruby packages are called gems and can be installed using the RubyGems “gem” package manager. There are over 90,000 Ruby gems hosted on RubyGems.org, the central repository for publicly available Ruby packages. A search for “thrift” on the RubyGems.org site produces a list of over 30 gems, including the official Apache Thrift Ruby library, which is named “thrift.” If you have a working Ruby installation, it is fairly easy to install support for Apache Thrift. Here’s an example: $ sudo gem install thrift Building native extensions. This could take a while..

Chad Fowler is a leading figure in the Ruby community. He’s on the board of Ruby Central, Inc. He’s one of the organizers of RubyConf. And he’s one of the writers of RubyGems. All this makes him uniquely qualified to write this chapter. Chapter 17 Package Management with RubyGems RubyGems is a standardized packaging and installation framework for libraries and applications, making it easy to locate, install, upgrade, and uninstall Ruby packages. It provides users and developers with four main facilities. 1. A standardized package format, 2. A central repository for hosting packages in this format, 3. Installation and management of multiple, simultaneously installed versions of the same library, 4. End-user tools for querying, installing, uninstalling, and otherwise manipulating these packages. Before RubyGems came along, installing a new library involved searching the Web, downloading a package, and attempting to install it—only to find that its dependencies haven’t been met.

  • 12 Years of Iphone – a Developer's Perspective
    12 Years of iPhone – A Developer’s Perspective Adrian Kosmaczewski 2019-04-21 This is the talk that I gave in the 4th MCE Conference in Warsaw, Poland, on May 8th, 2017 (conference organized by Polidea) and (with updates) at UIKonf on May 15th, 2018 and at NSConfArg on April 20th, 2019. • Introduction • 2007 • 2008 • 2009 • 2010 • 2011 • 2012 • 2013 • 2014 • 2015 • 2016 • 2017 • 2018 And Beyond • Slides • Video Introduction The iPhone celebrates its 12th anniversary this year. From a historical point of view, it had a tremendous impact in the industry and the careers of those involved in mobile application software development. At some point in my career, I was a .NET developer, and then one day I told myself that I wanted to write Objective-C for a living. This is how I started my career in this galaxy. This is how I got here. I could have chosen Windows Mobile. I could have chosen BlackBerry. I chose the iPhone. I started working on my first iPhone application back in July 2008, and back then everybody, and I mean every single person in the industry around me, told me that I was completely crazy and/or stupid for losing my time with a device nobody would buy. I have not stopped writing iOS applications ever since, even though lately I’ve been spending quite a bit of time around Android. 1 The iPhone turned out to be a far, far bigger platform than any of us could ever imagine. In this talk I am going to take you in a trip back in time, to remember frameworks, people, companies, events and projects that have marked our craft in the past decade.
