Evolution of Rails Lakshan Perera LK Ruby User Group – September 2009

Ruby is not Rails! But, Rails is Ruby...

MINSWAN (Matz is nice, so we are nice)

The journey of 5 years...

“Build your blog in 15 minutes” Era A Danish boy becomes a hacker. A Design agency becomes an application company. Convention over Configuration DRY principle

“Rails can't scale” Era (Phusion Passenger, Message Queues, MemCache and etc)

“Rails is a Ghetto” Era (Rise of Merb)

If Rails is a Ghetto, Merb is its' whorehouse

The Great Reunion!

Rails == Magic ? No! It is pure Ruby...

Metaprogramming - Module.class_eval - Object.instance_eval, - Kernel.eval

Blocks/Lambdas

Symbols & Nice Literals

Rack Rack provides a minimal interface between web servers supporting Ruby and Ruby frameworks. Cool Middlewares : Rack-Bug, Authentication (Warden), CloudKit
