The meetup will be 2-parts (a 15 minute presentation by Gerald + Bauer, then some 5 minute "Ignite Seattle"-style presentations [5 minutes, 20 + slides, 15 sec/slide]), then beer afterward.

Details:

1. A 15 minute + presentation by Gerald Bauer:

Title: Tagging & Tag Clouds Made Easy

+

Summary: The 15-minute talk covers how you can add tags, that is, simple non-hierarchical + keywords to your photos, boomarks and more to create a self-organizing system + (folksonomies) made popular by services such as Flickr or del.icio.us.

Speaker: + Gerald Bauer is a Rails & Internet Professional in Vancouver B.C blogging + @ http://geraldbauer.wo.... + Gerald has recently designed and developed a Rails app in beta that lets you share, + tag & discover tech & media companies in & around Vancouver.

2. + An open projector for "Ignite Seattle" style presentations. 20 slides in 5 minutes. + Your slides auto-advance every 15 seconds! It''s entertaining and very low pressure + (it''s impossible to do something very well or very poorly in 5 minutes), so just + bring your laptop and something to say.

Note: if someone else wants to + do a 15 minute presentation, let me know the topic and a blurb about yourself + (like Gerald''s above). Having two 15 minute presentations and then the "ignite" + format would be a good balance too.

I expect that we''ll do about 3 - 6 + of the 5-minute presentations and then head out for beer.

We have two great talks this month!
1. DSLs in Ruby (Scott Patten, + 15-20 min)
2. Developing Facebook Apps (Paul Prescod + Vince Hodges, 40-45 + min)

After the talks, beer at Steamworks will definitely be in order. Since + the meetup starts at 7, I assume we'll get to Steamworks at about 8:30. The talk + details are below...

1. DSLs in Ruby (Scott Patten)
----------------------------------------
Talk + description:
"Domain Specific Language" means different things to different + people. In this talk, Scott will be describing how DSLs in Ruby allow you to program + closer to the problem domain, making your code more concise and readable. Specifically, + Scott will be describing how he used Ruby to create a Domain Specific Language + to interface between Ruby and the Ploticus graphing package. The actual code for + a stripped down DSL is only ~60 lines long, so there will be ample time to go + through the implementation in detail.

Bio:
Scott is a physicist who + found himself spending more and more time coding and less and less time in the + lab. Scott also started programming web apps in Ruby on Rails in his spare time. + Finally, he gave in to the inevitable, cut himself loose from his job, and started + looking at ways to get paid to do Ruby and Rails work.

Currently, Scott + is working full time on a scientific graphing web application called Plot-O-Matic + (www.plotomatic.com), written in Ruby on Rails. It's in beta, so the 'working' + part has been achieved, but the 'getting paid' part is still pending.

2. + Developing Facebook Apps (Paul Prescod + Vince Hodges)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Abstract:
Facebook + is one of the fastest growing applications in the Web's history. Deploying applications + within the Facebook environment has some great advantages. First, you can have + a pretty good idea of the demographic of your audience. Second, the environment + is extremely viral. Third, you can take make interesting applications that take + advantage of all of the delicious data in the user's profile -- especially their + list of friends.

Bio:
Vince Hodges is a senior software developer and + has worked on a variety of projects and industries over the past 17 years including + financial services, telephony, peer 2 peer music sharing and most recently as + an entrepreneur with his own startup developing consumer web applications. Today, + Vince is a senior developer working on Kinzin.

Paul Prescod is director + of application development at Kinzin. Paul is co-author of the XML Handbook, author + of numerous articles on XML and REST and contributor to open source XML tools + and open standards.

Kinzin is an online gathering place for families to + privately share photos, stories, and recipes as well as plan family events.

+

Schedule note:
-------------------
I'm tentatively thinking of moving + the meetup to the second Tuesday of every month, since the Python user group is + on the first Tuesday of every month. We can discuss the best time for everyone + at this meetup or in email (if you can't get to the meetup because of the schedule, + you won't be there to discuss it!). [Also, the first Tuesday of September is right + after a long weekend, and many people may be away. So this meetup needs to move + regardless.] I still need to confirm the availability of the space and work out + one possible scheduling conflict, so this meetup may move from September 11 to + a different day. I'll know fairly soon and update the description accordingly...

We have 2 great 20-30 minute presentations for this meetup:

+

1. A Returned Merchandise Authorization System - Dave Dumaresq

2. Introduction + to JRuby - Teera Kanokkanjanarat

This meetup will be held at the new offices + of E-xact Transactions Ltd:
1152 Mainland Street, Suite 400
Vancouver, + BC V6B 4X2

After the meetup we will head over to the nearby Yaletown Brewery + for beer...

Presentation details:

1. A Returned Merchandise Authorization + System (or What to do when the thrill is gone from your day job ) - Dave Dumaresq

+

Last year Dave and a friend wrote a Rails application that manages returned + merchandise authorisation (for tracking products that are returned to manufacturer + for repair). The application uses a tabbed layout and work queues to provide a + work-flow user interface which allows authorized users to create new RMAs, receive + units for repair, log repair work and create packing slips for shipment back to + the customer. Work Queues and Wizard work flows are implemented using RJS for + snappy Ajaxian views.

The system that Dave will demonstrate licenses the + following technolgies:
- The system generates barcodes using a barcodes gem + by Clinton R. Nixon.
- Provides authentication using the Rails Engine version + of the Salted Login Generator;
- Implements tabs using TabNav (svn://svn.seesaw.it/tabnav) + and
- Displays data in a live grid using ActiveWidgets 2.0.1 Standard Edition.

+

The development was done using 1st: RadRails; 2nd: Arachno Ruby: 3rd: Apatana
Code + LOC: 3411 Test LOC: 1409 Code to Test Ratio: 1:0.4

Bio:
Dave began + writing Ruby on Rails applications in 2006. He has been an ardent software developer + for almost 20 years. He has a background in A.I. and Learning Management Systems. + He currently is a technical analyst for BC Campus, where he works primarily in + Java and Spring web-flow.

2. "Introduction to JRuby" - Teera Kanokkanjanarat

+

- What is JRuby
- What''s in it for me? (why JRuby)
- Deployment options
- + Performance: JRuby vs C Ruby
- Current Issue and future roadmap
- Code + sample + small demo app

Teera''s Bio:
Since 2006, I''ve been working + for Sun as campus technology evangelist. My work at Sun includes evangelizing + Netbeans IDE and Java technology to students and academic researchers. Prior to + joining Sun, I''ve been working as web developer with ASP.NET and PHP at Plexia + Electronic Medical System Inc. I recently joined Business Objects as software + developer intern in Business Intelligence Platform rich client team. During my + free time, I help create lab and tutorials for Javapassion.com online Java learning + community.

This is being changed to November 6 to accommodate the speaker''s + schedule. Also, the location is The Network Hub.

We have a great and very + timely talk this month:

Title: Facebook on Rails

Speaker: Matthew + Chiu

Description:
"I would like to offer a quick talk on the Facebook + platform and the challenges of
using rails to develop Facebook apps. I have + been working on an app which is Facebook Native rather than an IFrame app, and + based on my experiences. I will discuss the pros and cons of using a proprietary + markup language vs. web standards like HTML and javascript.

My talk will + also focus on the RFacebook library and some of its shortcomings. I will give + examples of how RFacebook could be extended to meet developer''s needs and also + talk about bugs in RFacebook, which haven''t been patched in the main release."

+

Bio of Matthew Chiu:
"I am a software developer and entreprenuer who is + currently focused on doing social networking apps. Previously I have held software + development positions with Oracle, Samsung and a number of startups. I hold degrees + in computer science from Cornell and Stanford."

I also have some free books + from O''Reilly to give away, so if you needed another reason to come, now you + have one...

I apologize for the extremely late notice of the date change. + Note also that we are going back to The Network Hub: Thanks very much to Minna + at The Network Hub for agreeing to host us. After the talk many of us will be + heading to Steamworks, so if you are really late and we have already left The + Network Hub, we''ll be there...

Title:
Using Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) with + Rails

Talk description:
Amazon's Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) + is an online storage system. It can be used for backup, serving assets for your + Rails application, storing and streaming large media files or storing customer + generated assets. The AWS/S3 gem, written by Marcel Molina, provides an elegant + interface to Amazon S3. I'll be talking about how S3 works, how to use it in your + Ruby scripts and Rails applications and showing off some example code.

Bio:

Another meetup, another great presentation scheduled! We''re at + The Network Hub again.

Talk: Resource Oriented Architecture (ROA)

World + wide web is an ever growing collection of resources published by the humanity + at large. These resources get to be produced and consumed by utilizing the underlying + Resource Oriented Architecture (ROA). ROA differs from the garden variety of legacy + computing infrastructures by not elaborating on extensible protocols.

The + presentation will focus on explaining the working of ROA, as well as on exposing + the benefits of adopting this architecture. Following that, we will discuss some + perceived drawbacks inherent in ROA, and will conclude the presentation by describing + how can Ruby on Rails framework help us build web sites using the principles of + ROA.

Speaker Bio:

Alex Bunardzic has 18 years of full time software + development under his belt. He specializes in managing development efforts based + on the principles of Resource Oriented Architecture at Raymond James Ltd. Alex + has been very sporadically publishing some of his findings and conclusions on + software development and ROA at http://joto.com/blog/...

Title: Off the Rails - Why You Should Use Merb for Your Next Project + w/ Brock Whitten

Summary: + I feel that ''web services'' is the future of the web and Merb is more suited + for this due to its speed and flexibility (it''s perfect for building an API). + This talk is a quick primer on Merb: what its benefits are and why these benefits + are important for a developer that is thinking about the web of tomorrow.

+

Demonstrates building a basic RESTful API from scratch using Merb. This took + about 10 min. Once we were done, we had an ''Articles'' resource that had the + 7 golden(REST) methods. All the methods for accessing the resource understood + HTTP, XML, JSON and YAML. What this does for us is gives us many ways to access + our resource.

About Brock Whitten:
I + write applications using Ruby frameworks such as Ruby on Rails and Merb. I am + intimate with RESTful principals and am known as an AJAX junkie. I think in terms + of ''resources'' and ''web services''. I believe whole heartedly in open-source + software and have a passion for furthering my local community.

Since September 1 is Labour Day, the meetup is on the 8th this + month. Subsequent meetups will be on the first Monday of the month...

We + are moving the meetup to WorkSpace (Suite 400, 21 Water Street) since WorkSpace + holds more people and since Ruboss (which includes Dima, Scott and I) are working + out of WorkSpace anyway.

Topic:
New Ruby Patterns: Tools to improve + your code. Reduce code clutter. Increase readability.

Description:
Sunny + Hirai, founder and CEO of MeZine Inc., a successful and profitable Internet company, + will be presenting several Ruby patterns, many of which you've never seen before. + These patterns will make your Ruby code cleaner, easier to read and more powerful. + If you like discovering new ways to make your code better, you will enjoy this + in depth discussion.

Presentation includes free handouts of the patterns + and how to use them.

Noon Friday - Special Event:

Rein Henrichs is in town, all + the way from Florida. Rein is from HashRocket (Obie Fernandez''s company) and + will present a BETA of his RubyConf08 talk at WorkSpace this Friday, October 3rd + at Noon PDT.
Bring your lunch and settle into the big communal room at WorkSpace + for 40 or so minutes of pure fun and excitement.

This is the talk: http://rubyconf.o...... which + covers a look at Ruby Patterns from a reverse angle (Anti-Patterns).

+

Unfactoring From Patterns: Job Security Through Code Obscurity

Unfactoring + is the process of taking well designed software and,
through an iterative + series of
small changes, making it completely unmaintainable by anyone but + you.

about Rein:

Rein made his way to web development from a graphic + design background
but quickly found an aptitude and passion for writing successful
software. + An avid guitarist, pianist and table tennis player, Rein
also writes a popular + Ruby blog (http://reinh.com/...) + and speaks
frequently at Ruby conferences and user groups.

Note: This is a joint event with MoMoVan (Mobile Monday Vancouver).

+

However, because it''s a joint event, I need to cap the attendance at 30 + people...

TOPIC: Art of the Pitch, Mobile Voting, Entrepreneurship + + MORE

Their description:

"We''ve got a new and fascinating + meeting place this time – WorkSpace. It''s a new concept in open office environments, + offering a café-like setting and a variety of business services.

Social + networks have existed since mankind''s early tribal days. But with the growing + world use of mobile devices, the nature of those networks is shifting, perhaps + even ore than they did with other technological developments – such as print, + radio, TV, telephony and the Internet.

PROGRAM

6:30 PM – 7:00 PM + - Registration, networking, pizza, pop, beer
7:00 PM – 7:20 PM - Four smart, + fast pitches
7:20 PM – 7:30PM - The Art of the Pitch
7:30 PM – 7:50 PM + - Panel on Entrepreneurship, Wireless Startups and New Media
7:50 PM – 8:00 + PM - Networking break (plus voting on pitches)
8:00 PM – 8:20 PM - Panel on + Mobile Voting
8:20 PM – 8:30 PM - Final opportunity for networking

As + usual, free food and first beer free! Program subject to change without notice."

After their meetup, some of us may head over to Irish Heather or Chill Winston + for beer afterward.

Brock agreed at the last minute to do a talk about Merb. Thanks Brock!

+

Description:
Curious about Merb? Missed MerbCamp in San Diego? Tonight + at WorkSpace Brock Whitten will give a brief summary of the camp. Expect an open + discussion of Merb where we will discuss the "how", and "why" of Merb.

Speaker:
Brock + Whitten is a Ruby developer for local dev shop Nitobi. He has been involved in + the local Ruby community since Oct 2006 and recently spoke at the first MerbCamp + in San Diego. He loves geo location based mobile applications and believes that + applications should do just one thing well.

Tonight's talk will be by Scott Patten. Here's his + summary:

So Peter twisted my arm and I agreed to give a talk tonight. I've + recently wrote a cool little DSL for generating Rails and Ruboss scaffolds, and + I wanted to show it off.

I thought it would be fun if I re-enacted the + creation of the DSL using Test Driven Development (TDD) so that people could get + a feel for what TDD looks and feels like. I'll be doing live coding and you'll + all get to yell at me when I write ugly code or make typos and it'll be kind of + fun and interactive. The guys from seattle.rb call this 'gang bang coding'. Let's + see how it goes.

We'll end up with the ability to use scaffolder files + like this to create a starting point for a rails app:

# flexomatic_scaffolder.rb

+

require 'rubygems'
require 'ruboss4ruby/ruboss_scaffolder'

ruboss_scaffold('user') + do |s|
s.string :login
s.string :name
s.string :email
s.string + :crypted_password
end

ruboss_scaffold('dataset') do |s|
s.belongs_to + :user
s.has_many :graphs, :datacolumns
s.string :name
end

ruboss_scaffold('graph') + do |s|
s.belongs_to :dataset
s.string :name, :title
s.integer :position, + :height, :width, :xpos, :ypos
s.has_many :axes
s.has_many :graphlines
s.has_one + :legend
end

ruboss_scaffold('legend') do |s|
s.belongs_to :graph
s.integer + :xpos, :ypos
s.boolean :visible
end

This month we have two talks! Each should be about 30-45 minutes, + and they both look great.

First Talk: Rubish with Howard Yeh

This + talk gives a tour of Rubish, an experimental shell written in Ruby. Rubish is + object oriented from the ground up, and has no metasyntax of its own. Rubish is + designed to interface Unix commands with Ruby, with emphasis on Ruby. And Rubish + is designed for ad hoc extensibility and metaprogrammatic access.

If you + pine for Ruby in the darkest moments of Bashing, Rubish may be of interest.

+

Speaker Bio:
Howard Yeh is a growing hacker with interests in programming + languages and scalability. He needs more experience (i.e. work). He wants to create + software that makes people happy.

**

Second Talk: Intro to Erlang

+

Erlang is an up-and-coming language on the web scene. New libraries and frameworks + are sprouting up at a rampant rate, and web giants Facebook and Twitter are using + it to develop highly-scalable web applications.

This talk will introduce + Erlang as a language and platform, summarize its strengths and weaknesses, and + cover how you can use Erlang and Ruby together to conquer the web frontier.

+

Speaker Bio:
Ken Pratt has been developing software for the web for over + 10 years. He fell in love with Ruby four years ago, but is still passionate about + learning other languages and platforms. He has developed scalable web services + for Electronic Arts, built Rails-based web applications since pre-1.0, and been + featured in interactive art installations.

Talk: Programming Erlang

A follow-up to last month''s "Intro + to Erlang", this talk will dive into the core components of the Erlang programming + language, including processes, pattern matching, and message passing. Unlike the + previous
talk, it will be light on hype and loaded with code samples.

Talk: Hacking parse.y
One of the darkest sides of Ruby is the + parser. I tried to fix the notation or the syntax of ruby so as to understand + the MRI implementation more deeply. This talk will introduce how input codes are + parsed, and how to cook the parser. It would be better you fetch and build Ruby1.9.2dev + in advance.

Talk Description:
Have you wondered what the big fuss + about message-passing is about?

This talk will be about message-passing + concurrency, as a way to build flexible, reliable, and scalable applications. + We'll go deeper than message-passing as just another way to program sequentially. + We'll see how it requires a different way of thinking & design, that decouples + the when-and-where of computation from the what-and-how.

In particular, + we'll see a system in Ruby built on top of AMQP, a message queuing middleware. + The system is still very alpha, but it's evolving fast along with a Real World + application. Those of you familiar with Erlang will see many familiar ideas (e.g. + actor & mailbox), but with interesting twists in operational characteristics.

Talk:
Machine Learning and data mining have long been seen + as "black arts" - partly because they sit squarely between various rigorous disciplines + (statistics, linear algebra, analysis, geometry), partly because of PhD level + practitioners, and partly because any meaningful analysis required access to expensive + computing clusters. This exploration will cover a basic (and gentle) introduction + to machine learning, and a brief overview of what sort of problems fit well into + the machine learning bag. We''ll walk through a few examples (running on Engine + Yard Cloud) of how this might fit into your project, and the drastically lower + economics of cloud-enabled machine learning analysis.

Yes, there's actually one more Rails meetup happening this year. + In fact, it's happening in a week!

Tatsuhiro Ujihisa is going to do a talk + about Ruby 1.9.2 on November 23rd at 7 PM. He's one of the biggest Ruby gurus + in Vancouver, so don't miss it. (Sorry for the late notice...)

Talk

+

Ruby 1.9.2 was released on August 18, 2010. Ruby 1.9 series had some difficulties + to use for production until this new stable version release, but now it's time + to use it, abandoning old Ruby. This presentation will explain some problems existed + in Ruby 1.8 series or 1.9.1 that was solved in Ruby 1.9 in actual cases, and will + explain some tips to make legacy codes available on 1.9. It includes demonstrations. + If I have extra time I will explain the developing version 1.9.3dev as well.

+

How would you approach the problem of developing several applications + that each have a distinct look, feel, and feature set, yet all want to share the + same data model and database server?

Rails does not come with + a project/solution hierarchy similar to some other web development platforms, + so we had to invent our own.

The presentation will cover both the technical + solutions and challenges we encountered, and the development process we follow + as several teams all try to work together without stepping on each others' toes.

Testing REST web services client has never been easy. It requires + a running web server, multiple threads, network conection and complex transaction + management.

Ideally, REST web service client test should have the following + characteristics:

The experience of testing REST resource is similar to + that of testing an ActiveRecord model Start up and shut down web server for the + purpose of running REST web services Rollback test data after each test Control + fixture creation for REST web services All tests are automatic In this talk, I + am going to write and test a REST web service API together with you using TDD. +  As we go we will discuss some tricks of testing web service client code.

Tys von Gaza will be talking about the challenges of moving from + a Rails based workflow to learning and building a RubyMotion application. RubyMotion + is the new Ruby tool chain for building and testing native iOS applications. Tys + is a senior developer at the startup, Clio, helping work on their large Rails + application, API and RubyMotion application. He will explain:

- Why should + a Rails team choose RubyMotion over iOS?
- Difference between the community + and resources between Rails and RubyMotion
- What success have we had in transferring + our Rails knowledge over to RubyMotion?
- What pitfalls has our team hit while + learning RubyMotion?
- A look at where RubyMotion is going and what we're + excited about.

This event has been wonderfully organized by Simon Wilson + from Clio.

Happy new year Ladies and Gentleman. Our first meetup of 2013 is + upon us. Two great speakers have offered their time to give talks and you will + have a chance again for a lightning talk if you missed out last time.

Greg + Bell (http://github.com/gregbell) + - Object Oriented Rails
One of the many things Greg has worked on, he + made a little thing called ''active_admin'' (http://activeadmin.info/), which I''m sure we''ve all used + at some point in our Rails apps. I am super excited to hear him speak. Greg will + be talking to us about OO Rails, methods on how we all can make sure our Rails + application stay clean, lean and mean. (This is our bio and intro, we will amend + and update when Greg sends us more details)

Linton Ye (http://www.jimulabs.com/) - Ruby DSLs
Linton Ye + is a software designer, entrepreneur and UBC alumnus. His startup, jimu Labs, + has designed a DSL (Domain Specific Language) for rapidly creating Android apps. + In this talk, Linton will share their first-hand experience and lessons learned + in designing and implementing DSLs in Ruby.

Time for Lightning talks.
Like + what we introduced in our last December meetup, there will be time for any of + you to plug up your laptop (or not) and let the community know something. Perhaps + you''ve learned something new in Ruby, a new gem you used, or other topics related + to working as a Ruby developer. For example, Adam Cooper will be speaking about + his experiences working as a Rails developer remotely from both Nicaragua and + Costa Rica for periods of several months at a time during this past year.

+

Where & When
A local company have very kindly sponsored the + space this month (thanks Owen Ou for sorting this out)! We''ll be huddling together + at:

ACL, 1550 Alberni St, Vancouver, BC V6G 1A5. We''ll have people at + the entrance to let you in to the office from 6:00pm until 6:40pm.

Aftwards + we''ll move on to a nearby pub for refreshments, so if you don''t make the talks + do come along and say hi. We look forward to seeing you there.

IRC Channel.
As + a reminder, we hang out in #vanruby on freenode, pop in and say Hi we''re nice.

We have something great lined up for you all this month.

 

+

James Golick will be talking about "What the f**k is a method cache?"

+

Method resolution is expensive, so method caches are crucial to invocation + performance. Your Ruby code probably calls methods kind of often, so invocation + performance matters. MRI''s method cache invalidation strategy is quite naive, + leading to very low hit rates in most Ruby code.  

James has written patches + to Ruby to speed these things up, so we''re looking forward to him expanding on + this.

 

After his talk we''ll have a little social and have some + time for some lightning talks or if someone else would like to talk about + something get in touch.

 

Sponsor: Shopify

+

The wonderful folks at Shopify are sponsoring our drinks for the evening. Thank + you!

 

Where: Hootsuite

We''ll be at the lovely new + Hootsuite offices. It''ll start from 6:30 and we''ll get the talk underway after + then.

We''re very thankful for Hootsuite to put up their space for us, + it gives us the extra capacity for our wonderful speaker this month.

A bit late in the month I know, but better late then never!

+

Our May meetup is kindly being held at Medeo this month and we'll be doing + our well received format of Lightning talks we did back in March.

Those + that attended RailsConf will be talking about something interesting they saw and + I hope others from our community will come forward and provide an interesting + talk on work they've done recently.

A lightning talk can be slides or just + code in a repl and can be from 2mins to 10mins.

Comment on this meetup + if you would like to talk about something so I can get a better idea on who will + be talking and others will then know too.

See you on Thursday.

We super excited to be having Aaron Patterson (@tenderlove), a member + of the rails core team and frequent on many things Rails and Ruby related come + share his knowledge with us.

Beyond an excellent talk by Aaron, this is + going to be a night of ruby, free beers, free pizza and socializing hosted at + Hootsuite.

Who is this Aaron Patterson?

Aaron was born and + raised on the mean streets of Salt Lake City. His only hope for survival was to + join the local gang of undercover street ballet performers known as the Tender + Tights. As a Tender Tights member, Aaron learned to perfect the technique of self-defense + pirouettes so that nobody, not even the Parkour Posse could catch him. Between + vicious street dance-offs, Aaron taught himself to program. He learned to combine + the art of street ballet with the craft of software engineering. Using these unique + skills, he was able to leave his life on the streets and become a professional + software engineer. He is currently Pirouetting through Processes, and Couruing + through code for AT&T. Sometimes he thinks back fondly on his life in the + Tender Tights, but then he remembers that it is better to have Tender Loved and + Lost than to never have Tender Taught at all.

You can find him on twitter, + read his blog, or check out some of + his previous talks.

Sponsors:

These are the folks that have helped pay for all things needed to make this + happen.


 The amazing people at LX Ventures are sponsoring food, drinks and + much more. LX Ventures is a publicly traded incubator that launches, acquires, + and integrates early stage high growth technology companies.

Our Host:

We''re excited to be having another VanRuby meetup at Hootsuite. + There will be some free drinks and a great speaker so come out and enjoy a fantastic + evening with your fellow ruby developers.

If you''re interested in Rails + engines or digital commerce you''ll want to come out to this talk.

Making + it Rain: Digital Commerce with Spree''s mountable rails engine

What + can you learn from a 40,000 line, 5 and a half year old mountable rails ecommerce + engine? More than you think.

Spree Commerce is an Open Source mountable + rails engine designed to provide a complete eCommerce solution. It leverages existing + open source components like ActiveMerchant, rabl, ransack, state_machine and deface + to provide a "one stop" shop to handle everything from taking payments to shipping + products.

This presentation will take you through the different ways of + integrating and extending Spree''s behemoth code base into your application, from + different available frontends to api-only implementations.  I will walk you through + the successes and pitfalls of using and building extensions for mountable rails + engines, touch on different multi-tennancy solutions for mountable engines, and + show you what has gone wrong over those 5 years in the hopes the rest of us can + learn from such a large, complex, mature project''s mistakes.

Clarke Brunsdon + (https://github.com/cbrunsdon)

Clarke is a programmer + with over 13 years experience with the last 5 primarily focused on working in + Ruby and Rails. He founded FreeRunning Technologies in 2008 and focuses on how + to provide the most value to his clients and making sure the technology fits their + real-world business priorities.

#VANRUBY hack nights 

Every 2 weeks on Tuesday we get together to hack on cool stuff.

+

Bring a your laptop and hack away on your favourite open source projects. Got + a problem that you keep running into?

Want to contribute to open source + but looking for some pointers on where to start? This is the right place to be!

+

The format is very relaxed. Drop by when you can & leave when you want. + We hold an informal standup at 6:30 for people to share what they are working + on or would like to do that evening.

Rails helpdesk - members of + our community on rotation will be running a Rails helpdesk in the corner of our + venue space. We'll be there to answer your questions, problems with gems, bugs, + etc. (Remember though we aren't going to build your next startup!)

#VANRUBY hack nights 

Every 2 weeks on Tuesday we get together to hack on cool stuff.

+

Bring a your laptop and hack away on your favourite open source projects. Got + a problem that you keep running into? Maybe it's time to fix that for everyone! + Wish the Gem you use at work comes with better documentation? Have a cool idea + for a new project? Come and make that a reality! Want to contribute to open source + but looking for some pointers on where to start? This is the right place to be!

+

The format is very relaxed. Drop by when you can & leave when you want. + We hold an informal standup at 6:30 for people to share what they are working + on or would like to do that evening.

Rails helpdesk - members of + our community on rotation will be running a Rails helpdesk in the corner of our + venue space. We'll be there to answer your questions, problems with gems, bugs, + etc. (Remember though we aren't going to build your next startup!)

Let's + work on making the world a better place, one hack night at a time, and have fun + while doing it! See you there.

Join us for a great VanRuby talk by Adam Cooper from Zozi.com. + We'll also have drinks and pizza and be hosting the event at Hootsuite HQ.

+

What's this talk about?
We always hear about services, form objects, policies, + and other OOP approaches but do you ever wonder how and when to use these objects + in a Rails application? Adam will give examples of these objects, talk about when + to use them in a Rails application and show some real world examples of before + and after.

Adam has worked on several different Ruby on Rails applications + for several years at a stretch and has seen requirements change, code get bloated, + and changes difficult to make.  He is actively studying approaches to writing + code that promotes easy to change code. 

Talks start at 7pm.

Join us for VanRuby talk by Jim Lindley from Engine Yard and Kerri + Miller. We''ll also have drinks and pizza and be hosting the event at Hootsuite + HQ.

What''s Jim Talking about?
Applications should be deployed + in a repeatable and automated way. How far can you push it? We''ll look at taking + an application and generating a docker container with it. See what it takes to + make your code run in production from  a single command with straight forward + configuration. 

We''ll also look at options for making configuration dynamic, + handling progressive rollouts and bad deploys, and when containers aren''t appropriate.

+

A little about Jim Lindley
As a cloud Stack team lead at Engine + Yard, Jim Lindley has developed and help manage work automating server provisioning + in the cloud. Engine Yard deploys thousands of servers for thousands of customers, + and were one of the first cloud platform providers. Come learn from our successes + and our mistakes.

Kerri Miller: "Harry Potter and the Legacy Codebase"

+

It''s your first day at Hogwarts.com, and everything is wonderful and thrilling. + You dig in to classes, and soon find a dusty book with a cryptic warning:

+

"Do NOT on any circumstances make ANY change to this magic incantation without + talking to Doug first!!!"

Sound familiar? Approaching a legacy code base + can feel like unraveling a mystery, not just about the code, but about the personalities + who wrote it. What tools and techniques can help you solve the maze of twisty + code? Let''s explore how to get a handle on legacy code, how to negotiate joining + an existing team of developers, and how we can get a summa cum laude at graduation.

+

About Kerri Miller
 Kerri Miller is a Sr. Software Developer and + Team Lead based in the Pacific Northwest. She has worked at enterprise companies, + international ad agencies, boutique consultancies, start-ups, and every place + in between.

The wait is over! Our popular lightning talks night is back this + month. This time will we be over at Wishpond''s office.

As usual this meetup + will feature 5-10 minute lightning talks from a number of different speakers. + Essentially, this will be an opportunity to plug in your laptop and share something + interesting or anything ruby/rails related with the community. This is your chance + to talk about some new dev process, a gem you recently used, something you built + or just about anything.

+

Schedule:

#VANRUBY developer nights

Every 2 weeks on Tuesday + we get together to hack on cool stuff.

** Remember this is not a talk event + but a night for like minded developers to code, work or discuss their projects + ** (we've had some people turn up without their laptop).

• Got a problem + that you keep running into?

• Maybe it's time to fix that for everyone!

+

• Wish the Gem you use at work comes with better documentation?

• Have + a cool idea for a new project?

• Want to contribute to open source but + looking for some pointers on where to start?

Bring a your laptop and code + away on any of the above or anything else related to software development and + ruby!

The format is very relaxed. Drop by when you can & leave + when you want. We hold an informal standup at 6:30 for people to share what they + are working on or would like to do that evening.

Rails helpdesk + - members of our community on rotation will be running a Rails helpdesk in the + corner of our venue space. We'll be there to answer your questions, problems with + gems, bugs, etc. (Remember though we aren't going to build your next startup!)

+

Food & drink: Some nights a local sponsor sometimes buys beer, coffee + or pizza.

Let's work on making the world a better place, one hack night + at a time, and have fun while doing it! See you there.

#VANRUBY developer nights

Every week on Tuesday we get together to hack on cool stuff.

+

** Remember this is not a talk event but a night for like minded developers + to code, work or discuss their projects ** (we've had some people turn up without + their laptop).

• Got a problem that you keep running into?

• Maybe + it's time to fix that for everyone!

• Wish the Gem you use at work comes + with better documentation?

• Have a cool idea for a new project?

• Want + to contribute to open source but looking for some pointers on where to start?

+

Bring a your laptop and code away on any of the above or anything else related + to software development and ruby!

The format is very relaxed. Drop + by when you can & leave when you want. We hold an informal standup at 6:30 + for people to share what they are working on or would like to do that evening.

+

Rails helpdesk - members of our community on rotation will be running + a Rails helpdesk in the corner of our venue space. We'll be there to answer your + questions, problems with gems, bugs, etc. (Remember though we aren't going to + build your next startup!)

Food & drink: Some nights a local + sponsor sometimes buys beer, coffee or pizza.

Let's work on making the + world a better place, one hack night at a time, and have fun while doing it! See + you there.

#VANRUBY developer nights

Every week on Tuesday we get together to hack on cool stuff.

• Got a problem that you keep running into?

• Wish the Gem you use at work comes + with better documentation?

• Have a cool idea for a new project?

• Want + to contribute to open source but looking for some pointers on where to start?

+

Bring a your laptop and code away on any of the above or anything else related + to software development and ruby!

The format is very relaxed. Drop + by when you can & leave when you want. We hold an informal standup at 6:30 + for people to share what they are working on or would like to do that evening.

It has been over a year since the last round of VanRuby keynote + talks. On July 14th at CodeCore we have not one but TWO talks lined up + for you. It's going to be crazy! Doors open at 6PM.

Justin Scott + - Continuous Integration with Robot Sweatshop

Why and how to use Robot + Sweatshop for self-hosted, lightweight, and non-opinionated continuous integration. + At some point you have to just stop accepting bad software and start replacing + Jenkins.

Justin Scott is a polyglot developer who is orchestrating the + automation of testing for TELUS Digital, an organization of 100+ people. He's + a member of a forward-thinking DevOps team and a practicing Scrum Master.

+

Godfrey Chan - Dropping down to The Metal™

As much as we love + Ruby, when you need to be really close to the metal, you have no choice but to + use JavaScript. This is why I developed the javascript gem to help you harness + the raw power of your machines.

In this talk, we will examine the Ruby + tricks and black magic hidden behind this ludicrous invention. Along the way, + we will learn about how Ruby internally deal with variable lookups, method calls, + scoping and bindings. Together, we will push the limits of the Ruby language, + taking it to places Matz never ever envisioned!

Godfrey Chan is a open-source + enthusiast from Vancouver, Canada. He is a co-founder at Brewhouse Software and + a member of the Ruby on Rails core team. In his previous life, he was also an + award-winning WordPress™ plugin author.



+

Food + Drinks?

We will be offering free pizza and beer at the + event provided by our sponsors Clio and + SocialChorus.

Venue?

+

This event will take place at 142 W Hastings St. We would like to offer a warm + thank you to our venue host CodeCore + for providing the space!

It's that time again, for our epic annual Summer BBQ!

This annual + event is for developers in the Ruby community to get together to celebrate successes, + share stories and be awesome to one other. 

For those that didn't attend + the memorable BBQ last year, it was on fire*. There will be plenty of ways + to cool off though with drink options available for everyone (non-alcoholic + + keg), and the barbecue will be in full effect, grilling up all your favourites + -- even for the Vegetarians! Make it on time and there might even be a ruby + cookie left.

This year's super wicked sponsor is Shopify. Build + your online store with Shopify's ecommerce software and easily sell in person + with Shopify's iOS and Android apps.

Once again, we'll be hosting this + event at Brewhouse HQs' patio in Gastown.

+

P.S. *We promise to clean the grill's grease trap this year!

Ooooooooooooooh hello there, Ruby friends.

We've got + a great event lined up for you at this month's VanRuby. The wonderful Brooke + Zelenka will deliver a captivating lecture on the Elixir programming language + and Phoenix web framework. Some circles of the Ruby community have taken a great + interest in both of these technologies, calling them a successor to Ruby and Rails + (*controversy hype*). We hope that you can make it!

Elixir?

+

Elixir is a Ruby-flavoured syntax on top of the functional programming language + Erlang. It goes beyond a syntax, though, providing many helpers and capabilities + baked right in to the language. While the look and feel should make Rubyists feel + at home, it has quite a few facilities and idioms that set it apart from both + Ruby and Erlang.

Phoenix?

Phoenix is a Rails-inspired web + framework written in Elixir, and has gained quite a bit of interest over the last + year. Phoenix helps you build fast, distributed, fault-tolerant, soft-realtime + web applications while leveraging much of what you know from Rails.

Brooke?

+

Brooke is a soon-to-be digital nomad, functional programming enthusiast, and + avid consumer of caffeine. She organizes Code & Coffee, and founded the Vancouver + Functional Programmers and Vancouver Erlang/Elixir meet ups. She is a web developer + at MetaLab, and is a founding partner at Robot Overlord.

(You + should follow her on the Twitter)

Food + Drinks?

We will + be offering free pizza and beer at the event provided by our sponsor Metalab.

+

Venue?

This event will take place at 142 W Hastings St. We would + like to offer a warm thank you to our venue host CodeCore for providing the space!

Speakers + are encouraged to deliver a 1 to 6 minute talk on any number of topics. This is + an excellent opportunity to share a new dev process, a recently used or written + gem, and anything else that you may find interesting! And yes it can be different + languages if it's relevant to the ruby group, this means browser based JS.

+

Comment if you'd like to talk, so that we can plan a little.

A handful + of people have already signed up to present, however we are very interested in + hearing from as many people as possible. (Your level of experience does not matter!) + If you are interested in speaking at this event, please feel free to share your + topic in the comments below. If you are looking for inspiration, please check + out the comments section of our last lightning talks event.

Start preparing + your lightning talk today!
Where: CodeCore, 142 W Hastings St, Vancouver, + BC

Schedule:

6:30PM: Doors open. Eat pizza, drink beer, meet people, + etc.

7:00PM: Lightning Talks start

See you on November 24th.

+

If your company would like to sponsor please let us know otherwise Brewhouse + will sort it out.

Our very own Mr Godfrey Chan (@chancancode) + is passing through Vancouver next week and has graciously accepted to give a talk + to our #vanruby meetup. Sorry it''s last minute, I''ll update this meetup on his + talk description when I get it, trust me it''ll be great.

A little about + him

Godfrey Chan is a member of the Rails core team and a contributor + to various open-source projects. He works at Tilde Inc, splitting his time between + building Skylight and open-source consulting. In his previous life, he was also + an award-winning WordPress™ plugin author.

The Talk: Turbo Rails with + Rust

Ruby is not the fastest language in the world, there is no doubt + about it. This doesn''t turn out to matter all that much – Ruby and its ecosystem + has so much more to offer, making it a worthwhile tradeoff a lot of the times.

+

However, you might occasionally encounter workloads that are simply not suitable + for Ruby. This is especially true for frameworks like Rails, where the overhead + wants to be as little as possible.

In this talk, we will explore building + a native Ruby extension with Rust to speed up parts of Rails. What does Rust have + to offer here over plain-old C? Let''s find out!

Venue

CodeCore + has kindly put up their space last minute to host us and there''ll be some beverages + sponsored by Brewhouse, if you''d like to sponsor some food, ping me a message.

+

We''ll open doors at 6:30pm and aim to start his talk at 7pm.

I look + forward to seeing you all.

Scott Bellware and Nathan Ladd are running a workshop + on microservices and event sourcing in Ruby in Vancouver on April 29th + - 30th. They'll give a talk on that same subject at the Ruby Meetup!

Microservices + and Event Sourcing in Ruby

Starting from an empty project, we'll build + an event-oriented autonomous service from the ground up using Ruby, PostgreSQL, + and a handful of the available gems and libraries that are essential to the task.

+

We'll work through handlers, messages, subscriptions, readers, writers, projections, + entities, commands, and events. Along the way, we'll cover the techniques, patterns, + and principles that you'll rely on in your own work. We might even cover a bit + of testing.

At the end of this exercise, we should have an operational + implementation of a basic service, backed up by understandings of the things you + have to consider when building event-sourced service architectures.

Alex Bunardzic from + Staples is joining us on May 25th + to talk about building chatbots for business.

Most chatbots available on + the market today are focused on individual users. The state of NLP technology + isn't mature enough at this point to be able to handle free form chat in a predictable + fashion. It is therefore risky to offer a chatbot service that proposes to engage + in an open-ended discussion with the human user.

The talk introduces a + different approach to building chatbots -- instead of focusing on serving end + users, turn the tables and focus on the communication protocol that will benefit + the business.

The presenter will discuss four types of communication protocols + and how understanding these protocols can help build predictable, consistent customer + service.

Kelly J Andrews from + Codeship is joining us Thursday June 29 to + talk about dockerizing Ruby apps and setting up a CI/CD pipelines to test and + deploy them. 

✅ Continuous Testing, \U0001F4E6 Integration, and \U0001F680 + Deployment for Ruby Projects

Building software these days has changed + in dramatic ways, increasing the pressures to deliver software at a fast pace. + If you aren’t already using test automation and Continuous Integration/Continuous + Deployment (CI/CD) in your workflow, then you may be running less efficiently + than you realize.

In this talk, Kelly Andrews from Codeship will take an + application, Dockerize and run it locally, then test and deploy using Codeship. + You should walk away with the information you need to switch to a workflow designed + for fast delivery. All in about 30 minutes.

Kelly will also dive deep and + discuss some best practices for setting up your Ruby projects for a CI/CD deployment + pipeline.

\U0001F464 About the speaker

Kelly + J Andrews, is a developer advocate, currently working at Codeship. + Kelly has been tinkering with computers for over 30 years, using BASIC for the + first time at the prime age of 5.

It wasn't until building his first webpage + in 1997, and trying out JavaScript for the first time that he found a true calling. + Kelly now fights for JavaScript, testable code, and fast delivery.

In his + free time you can find him singing karaoke, performing magic, or cheering for + the Fighting Irish.

Title: + Go Ahead, Make a Mess

Software is always a mess. You can''t avoid this + mess, and if hubris goads you into attempting to achieve perfection, you''ll just + make things worse. Perfection is a distant, dim land on the unreachable horizon. + You''ll not be going there today.

What you _can_ do, however, is use the + techniques of object-oriented design (OOD) to make your messes manageable. OOD + is good at messes. It understands their origins, predicts their courses, and foresees + their outcomes. It shines a light down the dusty nooks and crannies of your app, + showing you what to do and what to avoid.

This talk shows you how to use + OOD to create the best kinds of messes, those that let you get software out the + door today without regretting your actions tomorrow.

Shuttles (Gilmore):
Skytrain + to Clio: 5:15pm, 5:45pm, 6:15pm, 6:45pm.
Clio to Skytrain: 6:30pm, 7pm, 7:30pm, + 8pm, 8:30pm, 9pm

The shuttle pickup location will be clearly marked and + attended by a volunteer to assist with directions.

\U0001F680 Change is a CONSTANT

When setting + out with a new project, constant change defines the whole landscape: you can always + count on new surprises. What can we do to help manage unexpected requirements + as a project grows from a prototype MVP to a mission-critical enterprise product? + We'll discuss some learnings from Ruby, Rails, and the philosophies that underpin + them.

\U0001F464 Andrew Vit has been developing web software and wearing + many hats for close to 20 years... still optimizing for programmer happiness. + Currently working as Lead Developer & Engineering Manager for Guestfolio, + in Whistler.

\U0001F381 The OTHER product you're building

+

There is a lot of focus on feature development and user testing of the user + facing product you’re building, but what about the other product?

\U0001F464 + Jeremy Baker has been building businesses with code for over 20 years and he’s + always learning new things. Currently as the co-founder of Zipline Retail, a remote-only + enterprise software company that powers some of the worlds largest retailers, + he’s learning how to deliver great software in a world of constraints.

Happy holidays! The fantastic Godfrey Chan is gifting us with a + talk about Rethinking Computer Science Education on January 18th!

\U0001F381 + Rethinking Computer Science Education

> Give a person a fish and you + feed them for a day; teach a person to fish and you feed them for a lifetime.

+

Teaching is really giving out a gift in the form of a skill. The best thing + a teacher could teach is the meta-skill of self-learning, a gift that feeds a + person’s intellect for a lifetime.
All of these are pretty uncontroversial. + Every educator thinks that this is what they are ultimately trying to accomplish. + However, our 21st century economy makes things pretty difficult. As it turns out, + most of us are not farmers or fishermen anymore. In today’s economy, what is the + fish? What does it actually mean to teach someone to fish?
In tech, the line + is even more blurry. If we teach someone to, say, build Rails applications today, + is that teaching them a skill, or is that just giving them a fish that would perish + in a few years? What about teaching programming? Many cities have announced plans + to bring programming into their regular school curriculum. Is that teaching students + to fish? In our industry, what does it really mean to “learn to fish”?

⛄️ + Godfrey is a member of the Ruby on Rails and Ember.js core teams. He was born + and raised in Hong Kong, and later moved to Vancouver, Canada where he studied + Computer Science, Cognitive Science and Philosophy at Simon Fraser University. + Upon graduation, he worked at and co-founded a few startups (caliper.io, brewhouse.io, + goodbits.io) and became an active open-source contributor along the way. He is + currently based in Portland, Oregon, splitting his time between open-source consulting + and building Skylight at Tilde Inc.

This month, Philippe Creux (\U0001F44B) from Kickstarter will join + us to talk about the minimal Event Sourcing framework they've been using to power + their shiny subscription platform https://d.rip.

+

In a nutshell, Event Sourcing is to data what Git is to code. It gives you + a full history of changes made to the data (what, who, when and why), a time machine + (how was the data x days ago) and makes it very easy to trace and fix bugs... + and much more!

In this talk, we will give an overview of Event Sourcing, + describe the components that makes an Event Sourcing framework, showcase the advantages, + explain why we built our own framework and conclude with the ha-ha! and not-so-ha-ha! + moment.

Looking forward to see you all there!
