THE ART OF REFACTORING Bijal Patel will talk about why it is important to have skinny models and controllers. She'll then go over the various types of simple ruby objects that can be used to refactor a complex piece of code.
PLUCK IT Adam Cuppy asks, how many times have you written the same bits of code, over and over, and thought, “You know, if only this was big enough to be a gem, I would pluck it out"? Often, we think of a RubyGem as a larger library of code that we “bolt on” to an app. And, these smaller code blobs become a hassle to distribute to the multiple apps that use them. A small micro-library, done the right way, at the right time, can greatly improve an app. But, when can you benefit from extracting a micro-library? And, how do you build and publish that code into a RubyGem? I'll go through the process, from A to Z. RAFFLE We'll be giving away a few ebooks, software licenses, etc, using our shiny new text-to-enter Rafflr!
