Learning to Code, How to win developers and Deprecating ActiveResource
Deprecating ActiveResource: Alternative Approaches for Internal Rails Services
The allure of such a simple interface to a network service is undeniable, but the downsides not nearly as obvious. Many have built Rails apps relying on ActiveResource only to feel significant unforeseen pain down the line.
This talk provides a case study of an early adopter of ActiveResource during the Rails 1.2 era, the pain that it led to, and the eventual replacement of ActiveResource with a bespoke private gem that provides a similar, but more robust interface.

How to win developers and influence designers
In 1936, Dale Carnegie wrote the book “How to win friends and influence people." You may have heard of it. But what can this book, and others, teach us about working as part of a software team today? Quite a lot, actually.
