Re-using gds code & aspect-oriented programming
Aspect-oriented programming in Ruby
Aspect-oriented programming is a solution to the problem of some features affecting virtually all business requirements, and expresses that problem in a compact and DRY way.
In this practical talk, Camille will:
- introduce the basic concepts of AOP, and how it is still relevant even in a non-statically typed language like Ruby
- show you how to easily and quickly leverage some AOP principles in your Rails application
- play with some AOP-friendly constructs in Ruby 2, in particular TracePoint
- walk you through two existing Ruby frameworks to practice Aspect-Oriented Programming
She will even attempt to prove that not all things coming from the Java world are necessarily bad.
