Makingweb: Great front end performance starts on the server.
This document discusses how web pages on mobile devices are often slower than on desktop, and provides strategies for improving mobile performance. It notes that page load times above 10 seconds result in decreased revenue. Responsive design helps but does not fully address the issue. The document advocates an approach called RESS (Responsive Design with Server Side components) to optimize pages for mobile by doing work like image resizing and component selection on the server rather than in the browser. It describes using device detection on the server side to tailor pages for different device capabilities and bandwidth conditions.
Teaching computational thinking to primary pupils
For once Google, Microsoft and Will.i.am agree, teaching Computing is important and it is important that children learn to think computationally from an early age. James Abela will take you through a hierarchy of visual tools that enable students to think computationally, code and solve problems in a logical way. This practical session will show you the free tools, lesson plans and support available for delivering a first class computing curriculum.
Java 8-streams-and-parallelism
This document provides an overview of the 20 year history of Java and introduces key concepts of Java 8 including lambdas, streams, and parallel streams. It begins with Java's origins in the early 1990s at Sun Microsystems and covers major releases and new features up to Java 8 in 2014. The document then explains lambdas, streams, and how parallel streams enable automatic parallelization.

app/assets/stylesheets - How to not make a mess
This document contains tips for organizing and writing CSS/SASS code in a clean and maintainable way. It discusses organizing stylesheets to mirror application architecture, using common CSS classes to prevent "UI drift", regularly cleaning and refactoring code, following best practices for naming conventions, treating stylesheets as "real code" through linting and other practices, and giving a presentation on these topics.
Commitment
The document discusses different levels of commitment ranging from wish to "whatever it takes". Wish is the lowest level at 20% where there is no disappointment but also no effort. Want is 40% where there is a desire but not the effort required. Try is 60% where some effort is made but just enough to get by. Do is 80% where disappointment is possible if things don't work out. Whatever it takes is 100% where failure is not an option. The presenter discusses committing to their hobby at the try level of 60% but wanting to commit at a higher level to their passion, potentially at the do level of 80% or whatever it takes level of 100%. They ask the audience to reflect on what they need

Seamless Migration
Jeff Yeary gave a presentation about seamlessly migrating platforms from .NET to Rails. He discussed his company's history with various platforms and why they chose to build a new global responsive Rails platform. Their basic approach was to transition APIs, create a responsive mobile site, adopt OAuth authentication, and use Zuul as a reverse proxy to route between the existing and new platforms. Zuul provides a simple way to route requests and choose which application to send them to while logging statistics.
Hacking Aaway with ionic
How to get started with Ionic (a cross-platform mobile app platform using Angular 2). Presented at Atlanta Ruby Users Group on 9/14/2016.
Ruby on Docker
The document discusses using Convox, a tool for deploying and managing Rails applications on Docker containers. It covers how Convox handles packaging dependencies like Ruby, Node, and build tools to run the application inside a Docker container. Convox abstracts away the complexity of Docker commands and provides a simple CLI for building, deploying, and scaling containerized Rails apps on any infrastructure.
Getting Answers to Your Testing Questions
The document discusses test-driven development (TDD) and how it provides consistent answers to questions about how to get started with testing code. It demonstrates TDD by walking through an example of writing tests and code to create a blog post. Key points made include: write tests before code; write one acceptance test and unit tests at a time; use test doubles in unit tests; and iterate between writing a test, making it pass by writing minimal code, then refactoring as needed. The process involves two "red-green-refactor" loops between acceptance and unit test levels.
Our ATLRUG.com Web Site
The document summarizes the history and current state of the ATLRUG.com website. It describes how the site was created in 2013 with test suites and deployed to Heroku. It lists the current sections on the site including meetings, presentations, jobs, and sponsors. Future plans include removing the resume section and upgrading to Rails 5. A minimum upgrade approach was taken but ran into issues on TravisCI so was unrolled.
WebRTC: Real Time Video/Audio For Your App ...
This document provides an overview of WebRTC technology for real-time video and audio in web applications. It discusses the history of internet communications and how WebRTC aims to provide native browser support for real-time media without plugins. The key components of WebRTC allow getting media from devices, sending and receiving peer-to-peer media, and sending other data. While peer-to-peer is ideal, servers are sometimes needed for network traversal. Popular providers offer all-in-one platforms or libraries to implement WebRTC. However, adoption has been slow with only 4% of enterprises reporting use in 2015-2016 according to a survey.
Ecto Introduction by Patrick Vanstee
Ecto is an ORM library for Elixir that works without object-oriented concepts like ActiveRecord in Ruby. It uses functions and data structures instead of method calls on objects. Queries return flexible maps instead of objects. Repositories handle database connections and queries can be built with an integrated query language. Models define schemas and changesets handle validation and casting of parameters. Ecto supports features like migrations, multiple repositories, and works with databases like Postgres.
Convox introduction by Matt Manning
This document discusses how to deploy and manage a Rails application called Feedchirp using the Convox platform. It covers creating the application and services, setting environment variables, managing processes, accessing logs and shells, and deploying new releases. The key steps are provisioning PostgreSQL and Redis services, deploying code using Convox, scaling processes, and monitoring builds and releases.
