What is "The Rails Way" ? / Agent Oriented Programming with Active Agent

Agenda

18:30 〜 19:00 Doors open

Grab a drink and catch up with your fellow Rubyists.

19:00 ~ 19:05 Opening - Paul McMahon

We'll kick things off by welcoming everyone and giving a short introduction of the event.

19:05 〜 19:35 What is "The Rails Way" ? -The Basics and Beyond- - Hayato Ishida

Hayato recently addressed the technical debt in a Rails application that had grown too complex to properly maintain due to over-optimisation (CQRS, etc). He decoupled the ecosystem with the keyword "The Rails Way", but along the way discovered that the "Rails Way" actually varies from person to person (even DHH uses "Omakase" instead). In this talk we will discuss and relearn the core concept of Ruby on Rails.

Profile

Hayato is a big fan of Ruby and Rails, and an active member of the Ruby community in Japan. A self-describe nerd of linguistics, he majored in English linguistics (particularly The Present-Day English) when he was an undergraduate. Hayato is currently working on StudySapuri, an education service which aims to support the academic development of high school students.

19:35 〜 20:05 Agent Oriented Programming with Active Agent - Justin Bowen
