So the best swag you can get from a technology conference is code, right? Well RedDotRubyConf 2013 did not disappoint! Thanks to some fantastic speakers, my weekends for months to come are spoken for. Here's just some of the goodness:
- First up, @tenderlove kicked off an #irresponsibleruby meme with some crazy internal fiddles.
- From @gazay: gon is a gem that makes it easy to expose server data to javascript.
- From @flyerhzm and others: convinced me to go try Celluloid and Celluloid::IO for building actor-based asynchronous systems.
- From @zacksiri: transponder an opinionated javascript library for assisting in working with front-end heavy rails app.
- From @netzke: checkout netzke for building complex UIs on Rails with Ext JS.
- From @jimweirich: equator_weight.rb so @tenderlove knows how much more he can eat while in Singapore;-)
- From @dqminh: The RSpec applause_formatter.rb so you too can get applause when your tests go green, just like @jimweirich.
- From @josevalim: awesome talk on concurrency and a tip to checkout thread_safe. And somehow I now have an urge to go play with Elixir too;-)
- From @sausheong: tanks and tanksworld demonstrating Gosu-based games.
- From @sikachu: appraisal for testing against multiple permutations of gem dependencies.
- @a_matsuda convinced us to use Ruby 2.0, spam his friends in Japan on twitter, and blow our minds with Trick 2013 ruby code.
- From @nigelr: fracture an interesting way of co-ordinating expectations for multiple test conditions to things don't fall through the cracks.
- From @steveklabnik: Shoes and Functional Reactive Programming in Ruby with frappuccino. wtf!
- And just for completeness, from @tardate (me): RGovData, sps_bill_scanner, and megar.
