London Ruby User Group:Hexagonal Rails
Hexagonal Rails
Matt and Steve give LRUG give us a version of their Hexagonal Rails talk (which they’ll also be giving at SRC and Goruco later this year):
The things that make Rails great in the first few weeks of a new project are
precisely what makes it hurt after a few months. Anyone who has worked on a
medium-sized Rails app will have experienced pain like:
- High coupling, meaning you have to run all your tests all the time to check
each change.
- Slow tests.
- Logic littered in view templates or helper modules.
Changes get more and more expensive to make, and the fun grinds to a halt.
How can you stop this from happening? And more importantly, how can you turn
around a project that’s already hit this wall of pain?
You need to pull your app away from Rails.
In this practical talk, we describe an architecture for mature Rails
applications where the framework becomes a plug-in to your application.
With hands-on demonstrations, you’ll learn how to define clear boundaries
between your application’s domain and Rails’ domain. Now Rails can stick
to doing what it does best – providing the persistence and HTTP stack –
and your valuable business logic will be in plain old Ruby objects that
are fast to test and easy to reason about.

Gavin Bell's Creating Social Applications
Creating a successful social application means building a model of a task we commonly do and understanding the social motivations for your community and the individual. The task and the community may vary widely, but the concepts of social objects and the smallest useful application (or minimum viable product) give focus to the design of the application. Gavin Bell’s two day Creating Social Applications course teaches you how to create social applications for the web or mobile, as described in his book. Find out more here
Peter Lubbers' HTML5 Mobile Mastery
Over the course of three action-packed days, HTML5 Mobile Mastery covers
all the new features in HTML5 with an eye toward practical applications,
especially for mobile application development. The course aims to be
highly practical, too, outlining current browser support, trends in the
market, common gotchas, and how to make the new features work in older
browsers. To find out about learning objectives, course dates and how to

Damjan Vujnovic's Advanced JavaScript Workshop
As Douglas Crockford once said, JavaScript is the world's most misunderstood programming language. It is also one of the world's most popular programming languages and one of the cornerstones of a modern web application development. With web clients becoming thicker and more complex, it is no longer easy to get away with sloppy, ad-hoc JavaScript programming style. In this advanced JavaScript hands-on course you will learn how to write good code (by employing its good features and avoiding quirks and common pitfalls).
