Description

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

Profile

Justin is the creator of Active Agent, an open source framework to help Ruby and Rails developers easily build AI products and features. With 17 years of experience building with Ruby and Rails, he’s on a mission to bring his favourite language and framework into the future of AI development. When he’s not programming, Justin enjoys video games, yoga, traveling, and spending time with his wife and two cats.

20:05 〜 21:00 Open Networking

Discuss the presentations or anything else Ruby related with the other attendees.

Food Sponsor

TokyoDev's job board is filled with software developer positions at Japanese companies whose engineering team’s primary language is English.

Drink and Venue Sponsor

Le Wagon Tokyo is a coding school for startups, creative people and tech entrepreneurs. Our 9-week full-time or 24-week part-time Coding Bootcamps are designed for complete beginners or "half-beginners" who really want to dive into programming and, above all, change their mindset. Learn to think like a developer, consider issues with new insight, and become more autonomous thanks to these newly acquired abilities.
