5. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS WHAT You know a generator when you see it
6. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS APPLICATION GENERATORS Let’s make a new app
7. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS xCode
8. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS visual studio
9. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS rails
10. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS app generators • All this code is needed but… • “Just start editing here” • Prepopulated defaults
11. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS COMPONENT GENERATORS Add something to an app
12. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS rails
13. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS plugins
14. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS component generators • Encourage best practise • “This ‘test’ folder must be important”
15. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS BUT WHY? Why do we use them? Why should you write them?
16. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS buy once read never
17. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS learn in 10 mins or less
18. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS development and production different
19. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS old path to adoption • Microsoft releases something • Microsoft Press sells a book • Read the book • Buy the Microsoft thing • Use the Microsoft thing
20. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS because i say so
21. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS 1000s of options
22. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS how to choose?
23. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS try them all?!
24. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS
25. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS because i say so
26. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS because of tweets
27. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS new path to adoption • Heard about something • Try it - generators/scrolls • Advocate it - “this is great” • Learn about it
28. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS alternate new path to adoption • Heard about something • Advocate it “this looks great" • Try it • Learn about it
29. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS TRY IT How fast can you be successful?
30. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS succeed fast
31. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS also great
32. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS try this. ha! oh no!
33. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS Much better!
34. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS barriers to adoption • “How do I try it?” • “How do I add it to my app?” • “How do I know if I’m doing it right?”
35. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS WIZARDS Help me. For the love of God.
36. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS wizards 1. Question about something 2.Choose some option 3. Confirm something 4. Done
37. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS without a wizard resource_pools: - name: common network: default size: 3 stemcell: name: bosh-stemcell version: 0.5.1 cloud_properties: instance_type: m1.small availability_zone: key_name: jobs: - name: nginx template: nginx instances: 1 resource_pool: common networks: - name: default default: [dns, gateway] - name: nginx static_ips: - 23.23.247.237
38. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS without a wizard resource_pools: - name: common network: default size: 3 stemcell: name: bosh-stemcell version: 0.5.1 cloud_properties: instance_type: m1.small availability_zone: key_name: jobs: - name: nginx template: nginx instances: 1 resource_pool: common networks: - name: default default: [dns, gateway] - name: nginx static_ips: - 23.23.247.237 is this correct?! how do I change it?!
39. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS so far... • I can’t love it until I can try it • Generators are good • Wizards are good
40. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS SCROLLS Magically transform applications
41. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS the problem existing App new App Add new thing super App
42. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS the goal existing App new App apply scroll super App
43. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS install it store it deploy it new APp
44. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS install it existing APp proposal

46. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS scroll gem 'sidekiq' __END__ name: Sidekiq description: Background work author: drnic website: script metadata
47. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS exclusive: worker category: worker requires: [redis] run_after: [redis, engineyard_recipes_on_deploy] run_before: [] extra metadata
48. YOUR COMPANY NAME | LONG AND INTERESTING PRESENTATION TITLE | VERSION NO. XX | 06 /02/2012 dependencies scrolls new myapp -s resque engineyard => redis, resque, git, github, engineyard_recipes_on_deploy, engineyard
49. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS gem 'cucumber-rails' after_bundler do generate 'cucumber:install' end after_everything do end three stages
50. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS three stages 1. Add gems 2.After bundler, run generators 3. After everything, deploy!
51. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS SCROLLS USE GENERATORS
52. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS easy peasy
53. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS powered by thor
54. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS Deploying
55. YOUR COMPANY NAME | LONG AND INTERESTING PRESENTATION TITLE | VERSION NO. XX | 06 /02/2012 deploying scrolls new myapp -s engineyard scrolls new myapp -s heroku scrolls new myapp -s cloudfoundry
56. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS how to make this work?! chef: install & run buildpacks: install procfile: run ??
57. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS engineyard
58. ENGINE YARD | @DRNIC | GENERATORS, WIZARDS AND SCROLLS engineyard chef in rubygems
