Steven Baker (@srbaker on Twitter), veteran Ruby developer and author of the upcoming "SOLID Ruby on Rails", will teach a single day educational workshop on making your Ruby on Rails applications more extensible and maintainable.
Maintainable Rails
Ruby on Rails has now been an important part of our toolboxes for nearly a decade, and as a result many teams are feeling pain from maintaining their legacy code, past choices, and changing requirements. Many teams struggle to add new features, respond to changing requirements, and stay competitive.
In this workshop you'll learn:
- to apply the principles of object oriented design to ensure your software is re-usable and extensible
- to spot poor design choices and distance your code from them so you don't get held up
- common mistakes made by other teams, and how to avoid them
- a focus on simplicity, and how to simplify complex problems
This will be taught through live coding exercises which you will work through with a pair. There will be opportunities for asking questions, seeing how the solutions work out over time, and possibly even apply some of these methods to your own code bases.
