Where to go from here updated slides
An updated version of my "Where to go from here slides" (added ruby monk and a link to more resources (on my blog)
Feels Like Ruby - Ruby Kaigi 2010
The document provides an overview of the speaker's approach to writing JavaScript for web applications. It discusses some of the shortcomings of Rails' approach of generating JavaScript (RJS) and embedding it directly in views. The speaker advocates for treating JavaScript as a first-class language by: writing it in standalone files organized into classes; structuring classes based on behavior and page location; and test-driving JavaScript code using the Jasmine framework. This allows JavaScript to be developed and tested independently using an object-oriented approach.
I love programming (revised)
A revised version of the I love Programming talk - a talk about why I believe that Programming and Software Development is awesome. It is meant as an inspiration, especially for beginners as I think we are perceived a bit wrongly.
Code is read many mor times than written - short
the slides from the 15 minute "Code is read many more times than written" talk I gave at the Rails Girls Berlin workshop on the 15th of February
Optimizing For Readability
What do software engineers do all day long? Write code? Of course! But what about reading code, about understanding what’s happening? Aren’t we doing that even more? I believe we do. Because of that code should be as readable as possible! But what does that even mean? How do we achieve readable code? This talk will introduce you to coding principles and techniques that will help you write more readable code, be more productive and have more fun!
Web Application Intro for RailsGirls Berlin May 2013
The well known web application introduction, this time without the Ruby introduction as the Ruby Monsters already did this! This time it also has a Bentobox.
I love programming
The lightning talk version of my blog post about how Software Development is actually pretty different from what people think it is. http://pragtob.wordpress.com/2012/10/19/i-love-software-development-because-its-very-collaborative-and-communicative/
I gave this talk a t a local RailsGirls Berlin event
Web application intro + a bit of ruby (revised)
The document is an introduction to web applications and Ruby on Rails. It defines what a web application is, its key components like front-end and back-end, and demonstrates Ruby code examples in an interactive session. It also introduces Ruby on Rails as a web application framework written in Ruby that makes building web applications easier with features like connecting to databases and generating HTML. The document encourages learning more about Ruby and provides additional learning resources.

Elixir & Phoenix - fast, concurrent and explicit
Elixir and Phoenix are all the hype lately - what's great about them? Is there more to them than "just" fast, concurrent and reliable?
This talk will give a short intro into both Elixir and Phoenix, highlighting strengths, differences from Ruby/Rails and weaknesses.
JavaScript Web Workers
An introduction about JavaScript web workers I gave at BerlinJS on the 18th of July 2013. It introduces the concept of web workers for simple parallel processing in client side JavaScript.
Shoes lightning
A little lightning talk about shoes, just for a really quick introduction of shoes on a conference or somewhere else :-)
Shoes on!
Beating Go Thanks to the Power of Randomness
Go is a board game that is more than 2,500 years old (yes, this is not about the programming language!) and it is fascinating from multiple viewpoints. For instance, go bots still can’t beat professional players, unlike in chess.
This talk will show you what is so special about Go that computers still can’t beat humans. We will take a look at the most popular underlying algorithm and show you how the Monte Carlo method, basically random simulation, plays a vital role in conquering Go's complexity and creating the strong Go bots of today.
Introducing Elixir the easy way
Small lightning talk with some practical advice on how we integrated a Phoenix application in our general application landscape with a rails monolith and some frontend clients.
What did AlphaGo do to beat the strongest human Go player?
This year AlphaGo shocked the world by decisively beating the strongest human Go player, Lee Sedol. An accomplishment that wasn't expected for years to come. How did AlphaGo do this? What algorithms did it use? What advances in AI made it possible? This talk will answer these questions.
Web application intro
This document provides an introduction to web applications and their components. It discusses what a web application is, how it is made up of front-end and back-end parts, and how Ruby on Rails is a framework that helps develop web applications. It then demonstrates Ruby programming concepts through interactive examples in IRB, covering basic operations, variables, methods, classes and objects. The document aims to give a high-level overview of web applications and introduce Ruby programming.
An Introduction To Shoes
(please download and use libreoffice, the slides look slightly messed up here)
An introduction to the Shoes GUI toolkit for Ruby. These slides are from a talk I gave at the Ruby User Group Berlin (rug-b) on the 5th of July 2012.
So what is so special about Shoes? It is simple and inspired by the web, go check it out! =)

But I really encourage you to try the shoes version, you get way nicer effects there :-)
May LRUG talk
The document discusses the author's journey over 12 months learning to code as a new Ruby developer. It covers setting up a development environment, learning Ruby and Rails through online tutorials, books, and pairing with experienced developers. The author notes that writing code often involves frustration from things not working at first but can lead to euphoria when solved, and emphasizes the importance of never stopping to learn, not being afraid to ask for help, and having passion.
Building Modern Applications in Ruby: Fast, Efficient, Versatile, and Cost-Ef...
Ruby is an interpreted, dynamically typed programming language designed for simplicity and productivity. It has gained widespread adoption among startups and large companies for building web applications using Ruby on Rails. Ruby on Rails is a full-stack framework that follows conventions like DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) to make code efficient and easy to maintain. Learning Ruby and Ruby on Rails provides advantages in today's job market, and resources for learning include CodeAcademy, online forums, and collaborative programs like Microverse which provides support and community.
Ruby for Beginner
This document discusses Ruby, its history, benefits, and opportunities. It notes that Ruby was created by Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto to be an empowering and easy-to-use scripting language. Ruby is object-oriented, mimics real life, and is good for rapidly prototyping applications. The Ruby community is large and supportive. Rails is a popular framework that makes it quick to build web applications in Ruby. The document provides several resources for learning Ruby.
What would your own version of Ruby look like? (RubyKaigi)
1) The presenter introduces Goby, their own programming language inspired by Ruby that is written in Go.
2) Some key differences from Ruby include stricter syntax rules for consistency and predictability, and treating errors as values instead of using exceptions.
3) The goals of Goby are to maximize productivity through readability and consistency while following the principle of least astonishment. The project is still early but welcoming community involvement.
Clojure
This presentation introduces Clojure as a functional programming language that addresses issues with mutable state, parallel processing, extensibility, and libraries in other languages. It highlights how Clojure makes state management and parallelism easier, has powerful macro capabilities for extensibility, and benefits from Java libraries and tools while having its own vibrant community. The presenter then shares their positive experience using Clojure for web development and expectations of increased productivity. [/SUMMARY]
Ruby Metaprogramming 08
The document discusses how Ruby's dynamic and reflective nature allows for meta-programming techniques that Rails leverages heavily, such as enhancing classes and using code as data, to accomplish its "magic" of providing a domain-specific language for building database-backed web applications with an integrated and seamless front-to-back stack. Ruby's meta-programming capabilities like open classes and meta-classes are key to how Rails accomplishes convention over configuration and allows terse and expressive code to generate advanced web application behavior.
Adventures of java developer in ruby world
This document provides an overview of the speaker's experience transitioning from Java to Ruby. It includes an agenda covering the speaker's background, project issues that led to choosing Ruby, a brief history of Ruby, examples of early debates between Ruby and other languages, and a review of the Ruby ecosystem including implementations, tools, testing, debugging, and community aspects.

Ruby tutorial
This document introduces Ruby as an open-source, multi-paradigm programming language created by Yukihiro Matsumoto. Ruby is interpreted, which means code is read and executed by an interpreter rather than being pre-compiled. The document provides instructions for installing Ruby on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. It recommends text editors for writing Ruby code and introduces the irb interactive shell for testing code. A simple "Hello, World" program is presented to demonstrate running Ruby code.
Ruby Metaprogramming - OSCON 2008
The document discusses metaprogramming in Ruby. It provides an overview of Ruby's metaprogramming capabilities and how they enable dynamically modifying classes at runtime. This allows enhancing core classes like Array as well as building powerful frameworks like Ruby on Rails. The document also describes how Trellis, an experimental web framework created by the author, leverages metaprogramming techniques to provide component-based programming.

Better Framework Better Life
RoR是Ruby on Rails的缩写，是一个用于编写Web应用的框架。他基于Ruby语言，给开发人员提供了强大便利的框架支持。Ruby有很多优点，但是一直以来其流行范围仅局限于日本。2004年，当Rails框架横空出世，让人们认识到了一个更符合实际需要并且高效的web框架，在其出现不久就受到了业内的广泛关注。吕国宁将结合自己三年的Rails开发经验，给大家介绍一些Rails的优点，背后的设计文化，以及Rails的前景发展等内容。
[.Net开发交流会][2010.06.19]better framework better life(吕国宁)
This document discusses the benefits of using the Ruby on Rails (ROR) web framework. Some key points made include:
- ROR allows developers to build applications faster and with less code compared to other frameworks like Java.
- ROR follows conventions that reduce configuration needs and promote rapid development.
- A live demo shows how to create a basic blog application in Rails in just 15 minutes.
- ROR is well-suited for building RESTful and agile web applications.
- The Shanghai Ruby on Rails user group helps promote Rails adoption in China through meetups and conferences like RubyConfChina.
RailsBridge Presentation
RailsBridge aims to create an inclusive Ruby on Rails community. It runs workshops to teach web development skills and connects volunteers with nonprofit projects. Its initiatives include Builders, which pairs developers with nonprofits to build websites, and teaching kids programming through curricula on topics like shoes and RGB colors. RailsBridge also organizes open source workshops around the world and works to diversify the tech community.
Why Java Is Great - Unbiased Perspective!
This is from my old Saturday session at Zillion.io (A big Thanks to dilnoor and kewal for that culture and for every zillion member out there for spreading that awesomeness).
Introduction to Go
Zack Hubert gave a presentation on the Go programming language. He discussed how Go was created by Rob Pike, Ken Thompson, and Robert Griesemer to be a fast, modern, and simplified language. Go aims for speed through compilation while feeling like an interpreted language. It also supports concurrency through lightweight processes and channels. The language is designed to be simple with features like garbage collection and a small standard library to support modern web development.
Go for Rubyists. August 2018. RUG-B Meetup
My blog: http://zonov.me/
Slides from Ruby User Group meetup with WTFs and Gotchas I had after started using Go as more than a play-around language.
Forget Ruby. Forget CoffeeScript. Do SOA
The document discusses moving away from focusing solely on Ruby and instead embracing service-oriented architecture (SOA) and diversifying programming languages. It argues that picking the best tool for each job rather than sticking with just one language like Ruby will allow for more reuse between projects and easier upgrades. Specific alternatives mentioned include using Go for backends instead of Ruby and moving away from JavaScript for frontends.
Better framework, better life
This document discusses the benefits of using the Ruby on Rails (ROR) web framework. It notes that Rails allows developers to build applications with less code and in less time compared to other technologies like Java. Specific points made include that a basic blog application can be created in Rails in just 15 minutes, and that Rails applications generally have significantly less lines of code and configuration compared to equivalent Java applications. The document also promotes upcoming Rails events in China and provides contact information for the founder of the Shanghai Rails meetup group.
Ruby Beyond Rails
Slides from my session at Lanka Ruby User Group meetup (28th Oct 2009). I talked about why Ruby is much more than just Rails and web applications.
My experience of Ruby Education in Taiwan
- Mu-Fan Teng introduced himself as the founder of 5xRuby, an education company in Taiwan that teaches Ruby and Rails.
- He discussed the growing Ruby job market in Taiwan, with both local and foreign companies hiring Ruby developers at increasing salaries. However, there remains a lack of experienced senior developers.
- 5xRuby offers a variety of courses, from free introductory classes to a commercial 13-week Ruby on Rails course. They also provide customized corporate training and outsourced development services.
- Through his teaching experience, Mu-Fan highlighted challenges like inconsistent student skill levels and environment issues, and solutions like using cloud-based development environments and online communication tools. He emphasized that education

Going Staff
What's up with becoming a Staff Engineer? What does it mean? Is it just for people who want to keep coding? How do you become a Staff Engineer and what does the work entail? What if I told you, that being a Staff engineer actually required a lot of communication and collaboration skills?
In this talk, let's answer all those questions - as it's still quite fuzzy what a Staff engineer actually is.
Stories in Open SOurce
What’s it like to work on Open Source projects? They’re all the same aren’t they? No, they’re not - the longer I worked on Open Source the more I realize how different the experience is for each one of them. Walk with me through some stories that happened to me in Open Source and let’s see what we can take away.
Metaphors are everywhere: Ideas to Improve Software Development
Let’s embark on a journey together - a journey in which we’ll weave together the realms of basketball, fiction writing, game development and trading card games to explore how these seemingly unrelated domains surprisingly intersect with the world of software development, offering fresh perspectives and insights.
Discover how concepts, strategies, and principles from these diverse domains can enhance your software development skills and creativity. Let’s celebrate the power of interdisciplinary thinking, revealing how diverse interests can invigorate your approach to software development.
Stories in Open Source
The document discusses various topics related to open source software including welcoming and helping users, releasing software early and often, treating open source software as a hobby rather than work, using micro libraries, benchmarking code performance, learning as you go, co-maintaining projects, reporting and fixing issues, being polite, discussing ideas for improvements, considering how software may be used, making open source more diverse and sustainable, and enjoying participating in open source projects.
Elixir & Phoenix – Fast, Concurrent and Explicit
Key takeaways
What are Elixir and Phoenix? What makes them standout among programming languages and frameworks?
Why would I want to use Functional Programming, what are the benefits and why does it work so well for the web?
How capable is Erlang (Whatsapp example) performance and reliability wise and why would I consider it for a project?
How does explicitness help in system design?
Elixir and Phoenix are known for their speed, but that’s far from their only benefit. Elixir isn’t just a fast Ruby and Phoenix isn’t just Rails for Elixir. Through pattern matching, immutable data structures and new idioms your programs can not only become faster but more understandable and maintainable. This talk will take a look at what’s great, what you might miss and augment it with production experience and advice.
Functioning Among Humans
In the development world most people are striving for technical excellence: better code, faster run times, more convenient interfaces, better databases… But is that really what helps us create better software?
In the end software development is done by groups of people creating products together. To do that communication and collaboration are essential. You can be the best programmer ever, but if you can’t efficiently work with others what good does it do you?
This talk will introduce you to relevant, easy to grasp concepts of collaboration and communication as well as give you food for thought.

Do You Need That Validation? Let Me Call You Back About It
Rails apps start nice and cute. Fast forward a year and business logic and view logic are entangled in our validations and callbacks - getting in our way at every turn. Wasn’t this supposed to be easy?
Let’s explore different approaches to improve the situation and untangle the web.
Elixir, your Monolith and You
Elixir is great, so clearly we'll all rewrite our applications in Elixir. Mostly, you can't and shouldn't do that. This presentation will show you another path. You’ll see how at Liefery, we started with small steps instead of rewriting everything. This allowed us to reap the benefits earlier and get comfortable before getting deeper into it. We’ll examine in detail the tactics we used to create two Elixir apps for new requirements, and how we integrated them with our existing Rails code base.
Join us on our tale of adopting Elixir and Phoenix and see what we learned, what we loved, and what bumps we hit along the road
Stop Guessing and Start Measuring - Benchmarking in Practice (Lambdadays)
“What’s the fastest way of doing this?” - you might ask yourself during development. Sure, you can guess - but how do you know? How long would that function take with a million elements? Is that tail-recursive function always faster?
Benchmarking is here to give you the answers, but there are many pitfalls in setting up a good benchmark and analyzing the results. This talk will guide you through, introduce best practices, and surprise you with some results along the way. You didn’t think that the order of arguments could influence its performance...or did you?
Where do Rubyists go?
Many Rubyists branch out and take a look at other languages. What are similarities between those languages and ruby? What are differences? How does Ruby influence these languages?
It's About the Humans, Stupid (Lightning)
In the development world most people are striving for technical excellence: better code, faster run times, more convenient interfaces, better databases, faster deployments… But is that really what makes us better at developing software?
In the end software development is done by groups of people creating products together. To do that communication and collaboration between humans is essential - you can be the best programmer ever, if you can’t efficiently work with others what good does it do you?
This talk will give you a primer and food for further thought.
Stop Guessing and Start Measuring - Benchmarking Practice (Poly Version)
This is the Polyconf version of the talk, including a little MJIT vs. GraalVM rebuttal, JavaScript, SQL, Ruby and Elixir to be truly Poly.
“What’s the fastest way of doing this?” - you might ask yourself during development. Sure, you can guess, your intuition might be correct - but how do you know? Benchmarking is here to give you the answers, but there are many pitfalls in setting up a good benchmark and analyzing the results. This talk will guide you through, introduce best practices, and surprise you with some unexpected benchmarking results. You didn’t think that the order of arguments could influence its performance...or did you?
Code, Comments, Concepts, Comprehension – Conclusion?
Clean & readable code as that's aguable more important than writing code really fast. I helps maintainability and so many other things.
How fast is it really? Benchmarking in Practice (Ruby Version)
The document describes various benchmarks performed to compare the performance of different Ruby implementations and algorithms for sorting arrays. The benchmarks show that:
1) CRuby generally outperforms JRuby in sorting performance, with CRuby sorting arrays 2-3 times faster than JRuby in the benchmarks.
2) The ".sort.reverse" approach is the fastest method for reversing a sorted array, performing up to 7 times faster than using a sorting block.
3) Using "sort_by" with a transformation is generally faster than a sorting block but slower than ".sort.reverse".

“What’s the fastest way of doing this?” - you might ask yourself during development. Sure, you can guess what’s fastest or how long something will take, but do you know? How long does it take to sort a list of 1 Million elements? Are tail-recursive functions always the fastest?
Benchmarking is here to answer these questions. However, there are many pitfalls around setting up a good benchmark and interpreting the results. This talk will guide you through, introduce best practices and show you some surprising benchmarking results along the way.
Elixir & Phoenix – fast, concurrent and explicit
Elixir and Phoenix are known for their speed, but that’s far from their only benefit. Elixir isn’t just a fast Ruby and Phoenix isn’t just Rails for Elixir. Through pattern matching, immutable data structures and new idioms your programs can not only become faster but more understandable and maintainable. This talk will take a look at what’s great, what you might miss and augment it with production experience and advice.
Ruby to Elixir - what's great and what you might miss
The document discusses some of the key features of Elixir compared to Ruby including pattern matching, explicit preloading of associations, immutable data, and metaprogramming. It notes some things Ruby developers may miss like dirtiness, magic metaprogramming, and a smaller ecosystem. Overall it presents Elixir as having many advantages for functional programming while acknowledging some aspects of Ruby are not directly replicated.
Code is read many more times than written
"Code is read many more times than written." - this statement changed my view of Software Engineering. From that point on I made it my personal mission to write the best code I could possibly write.
This talk is about my very favorite coding wisdoms that I picked up on my journey so far. All of these will help you to write better code, be more productive and have more fun. And good code pays it's interest rate every day.
Also if you're a clean code junkie looking for a fix - this talk is for you.
