RUBY & RUBY ON RAILS
Yukihiro “Matz” Matsumoto
“I hope to see Ruby help every programmer in the
world to be productive, and to enjoy programming, and to be happy. That is the primary purpose of Ruby language.” (MATZ)
PRINCIPLES Programmer happiness Principle of least astonishment Human readable Beautiful
syntax
ECOSYSTEM RubyGems, Bundler & Rake Multiple implementations (MRI, JRuby, Rubinius,
mruby, MacRuby, Topaz, …) Solid Standard Library
COMMUNITY MINASWAN Self reflective Open Quirky
None
OBJECT–ORIENTED
5.times { print "We love Ruby" }
class Animal def eat(food) puts "Animal eating" end end my_animal
= Animal.new animal.eat # => "Animal eating"
class Dog < Animal def eat(food) puts "Dog eating" super
end end
module Stomach def digest(food) # ... end end
class Dog < Animal include Stomach end my_dog = Dog.new
dog.digest
-199.abs # => 199 "Foobar".split("").uniq.sort.join # => "abFor" nil.class #
=> "NilClass"
DYNAMICALLY TYPED (DUCK–TYPING)
if dog.is_a? Animal dog.eat end dog.eat if dog.respond_to?(:eat)
MONKEY–PATCHING (DUCK–PUNCHING)
“… if it walks like a duck and talks like
a duck, it’s a duck, right? So if this duck is not giving you the noise that you want, you’ve got to just punch that duck until it returns what you expect.”
class String def yell "#{self.upcase}!" end end "hello".yell # =>
"HELLO!"
META–PROGRAMMING
class Greeter def method_missing(name, *args) name = name.to_s if name
=~ /^hello_/ puts "Hello, #{name.gsub(/^hello_/, '')}!" else super end end end Greeter.new.hello_john # => "Hello, john!"
BLOCKS & LAMBDAS
[1, 2, 3].map { |i| i ** 2 } #
=> [1, 4, 9]
def greet(&block) # ... greeting = yield("John") # ... end

RUBY ON RAILS AND THE OPEN WEB
THREATS AND OPPORTUNITIES
EMPOWERMENT
“The solution is open source. By building together open, free,
secure systems, we can go around such surveillance, and then one country doesn't have to solve the problem by itself.” (MIKKO HYPPÖNEN)
Open Source A strong, independent community Well developed ecosystem
DECENTRALIZATION
Availability Deployment Development speed
SECURITY
Convention over configuration Open Source Ecosystem
DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY
OPENNESS
Rails API RESTful by default Database agnosticism
SHIFTING TOWARDS THE CLIENT
Sass CoffeeScript Asset Pipeline Turbolinks
ASYNCHRONOUS WEB
SSE JRuby Threadsafe by default Celluloid Live streaming
