4. Why Rails
5. « » DAVID HEINEMEIER HANSSON Ruby is a dynamic and object-oriented programming language created in 1995 by Yukihiro Matsumoto. Ruby is, more than anything else, a language for writing beautiful code that makes programmers happy.
6. « » Rails, then, is an attempt to mold the beauty and productiveness of Ruby into a solution for Web applications. We’ve sought to adhere to the same core principle that guided the development of Ruby: make the programmer happy! DAVID HEINEMEIER HANSSON
7. ≈ WHY HAPPINESS? The Single Most Important Thing™ for a programmer is motivation Happy programmers are motivated programmers Motivated programmers are way more productive Productivity is GOOD!
8. Convention Over Configuration
9. ≈ EVERY PROJECT IS UNIQUE® Every developer has its own taste in tools and practices Every team has its own peculiarities Projects are not inter-changeable: Customer lock-in Developer lock-in
10. ≈ They make projects repeatable and instantly familiar. Everyone likes familiar! It’s much easier to: Start a new project Take on an existing project WE NEED SOME KIND OF FRAMEWORK

31. ≈ I18n Has-many through relationships 100+ view helpers (text/number/date formatting, HTML tags, sanitization) Form builders Nested urls, nested models, nested forms ... CONVENTIONS ARE EVERYWHERE
32. ≈ HTML code mixed with application logic Duplicated/insecure SQL logic Boilerplate code (just code the differences) Fear of taking on to other people’s project TO RECAP: SAY GOODBYE TO
33. Testing Rails Applications
34. ≈ TESTING RAILS APPLICATIONS Lack of a well-designed architecture is what makes code unmanageable in the long run The only way to improve design over time is overcome the fear of refactoring
35. ≈ TESTS MAKES YOU FEARLESS [#ou!-p!o$e%&] $ "spe) spe) ............................................ ............................................ ............................................ ............................................ ............................................ ..................................

36. ≈ TESTING WITH RUBY Ruby ecosystem has one of the most mature and vital testing cultures. Ruby syntax makes it a joy to perform testing and work in TDD/BDD So easy to read it almost feels like documentation des)"%be Pos$ do %$ { shou+d_no$ a++ow_(a+ue('').,o"(:$%$+e) } end
37. ≈ TESTING WITH RAILS Rails has built-in support for: Unit tests Functional tests Integration (full-stack) tests And produces skeleton test code for you.
38. Managing Multiple Evironments
39. ≈ MANAGING MULTIPLE ENVIRONMENTS Too often the production server is seen as somewhat holy, aka “if it works, don’t fix it” Rails embraces the presence of multiple environments, making them easily reproducible and “less magic”
40. ≈ MANAGING MULTIPLE ENVIRONMENTS # config/environments/development.rb # Log the query plan for queries taking more than this )on,%&.a)$%(e_"e)o"d.au$o_exp+a%n_$h"esho+d_%n_se)onds - 0.5 # config/environments/production.rb )on,%&.a)$%on_ma%+e".de+%(e"*_me$hod - :sm$p )on,%&.a)$%on_ma%+e".sm$p_se$$%n&s - { ... }

43. Let me deploy and go home
44. ≈ DEPLOY NIGHTMARES 1. But.. network doesn’t work 2. Whoops! I just broke production.. 3. Recover latest known working backup, manually. Do it now. 4. Deploy done(?) Live coding on production maine
45. ≈ DEPLOY NIGHTMARES, PART II 1. Write code on my laptop 2. Copy code to production 3. Database lacks new tables, have to create new tables and columns 4. Update plugins/libs on production 5. Deploy done(?) Manually updating production env
46. e Rails way 1.rspec spec 2.cap deploy
47. ≈ INTRODUCING CAPISTRANO De facto standard for Rails deploys Locks up the deployment process Hooks up to a Git/Hg repository Deploys seamlessly to multiple machines / environments Keeps latest N versions of code, for easy revert Automatic gems updates, database migrations, assets compilation & maintenance scripts

50. So Why Rails
51. ≈ SO WHY RAILS? Rails is mature Rails isn’t “cool” anymore Rails makes you much more productive There is a huge ecosystem of Rails businesses, SaaS and startups Ruby On Rails makes you happier :)
