London Ruby User Group:Ruby’s bin men: a closer look at the garbage collector
Ruby’s bin men: a closer look at the garbage collector
The Garbage Collector: how does it work? What does it mean when people speak about stop-the-world, mark-and-sweep, generational garbage collectors? How does ruby fare at collecting its own garbage? What does it mean when they say 1.9.3’s garbage collector has improved? In this talk, Elise Huard will explain those concepts, what the impact of garbage collection is on our programs, and what future could be.

The course covers the use of HTML5 WebSocket, Server-Sent Events, Cross-Document Messaging, and XMLHttpRequest Level 2. This course focuses on how to create next generation HTML5 web applications.

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).

Peter Lubbers' HTML5 “Fast Track”

In this HTML5 “Fast Track” training course, you will learn how to create HTML5 web pages and web applications using HTML5 markup and HTML5 JavaScript APIs.HTML5 is the next major milestone in HTML and it is not just another incremental enhancement; it represents an enormous advance for modern web applications. HTML5 is such a big step forward that it prompted Vic Gundotra, VP of Engineering at Google, to say “The web has not seen this level of transformation, this level of acceleration, in the past ten years… we're betting big on HTML5.” A large number of features are already supported in browsers, so it is time to start using it!
