Sarah Allen

Co-founder, Mightyverse

Bio：Co-founder of Mightyverse and Presidential Innovation Fellow
Subject：Transparency Wins
Summary：Transparency is a powerful means of making change. Ruby’s open source approach has spread across an ecosystem of libraries and whole companies. Open source increases the speed of software development and leads to higher quality code. These patterns of how we make software are changing how we do business and how our governments work. These aren’t just patterns of how we write code; these are patterns of how we interact with each other, teach and learn new skills, and experiment with new ideas. When we make our work visible, we expand its potential, and increase the chances of dramatic, unexpected impact.

Aaron Patterson

Ruby Core, Rails Core

Bio：Aaron was born and raised on the mean streets of Salt Lake City. His only hope for survival was to join the local gang of undercover street ballet performers known as the Tender Tights. As a Tender Tights member, Aaron learned to perfect the technique of self-defense pirouettes so that nobody, not even the Parkour Posse could catch him. Between vicious street dance-offs, Aaron taught himself to program. He learned to combine the art of street ballet with the craft of software engineering. Using these unique skills, he was able to leave his life on the streets and become a professional software engineer. He is currently Pirouetting through Processes, and Couruing through code for Red Hat. Sometimes he thinks back fondly on his life in the Tender Tights, but then he remembers that it is better to have Tender Loved and Lost than to never have Tender Taught at all.
Subject：Request and Response
Summary：What goes in to a request and response in a Rails application? Where does the application get its data, and how does that data get to the client when you are done? In this talk we'll look at the request and response lifecycle in Rails. We'll start with how a request and response are serviced today, then move on to more exciting topics like adding HTTP2 support and what that means for developing Rails applications.

Summary：As a poker player, it is extremely important to analyze your decisions at the table and retrospectively all the time. Luckily for us, we can program so we can let Ruby do that for us! In this talk, we will explore why we need software in poker, what types of software can we use, and how to actually implement those tools in Ruby to make our decision making around the table much simpler, from basic statistical analysis of situations to understanding our opponents' strategy and tendencies. This talk will cover everything you need to become a better poker player with the help of Ruby as well as give you some general statistical analysis knowledge.

Nico Hagenburger

Ruby & front-end developer, LivingStyleGuide.org

Bio：I’m a front-end developer with a strong love for Ruby and therefore mostly work on Middleman or Ruby on Rails projects with large, maintainable code bases, style guides, and designing in the browser. Whenever I find a way to automize things, I try to create an open-source solution. It started with [Lemonade/Compass Sprites] (https://github.com/hagenburger/lemonade#lemonade-is-deprecated), [Sass Quotation-Marks](http://quotation-marks.org), [Git Routines] (https://github.com/hagenburger/git-routines), and the baby I spent most of my time on: the [LivingStyleGuide Gem for Sass] (https://github.com/livingstyleguide/livingstyleguide/tree/v2#readme). Just recently, I put my experience on style guide APIs [into an own Gem] (https://github.com/hagenburger/styleguide-api) which is already in use to keep [Eurucamp’s](http://style- guide.eurucamp.org/2015/components.html) different applications in sync.When my computer is actually off, I’m working with interior design, including my collection of vintage subway train parts and signage.
Subject：Get rid of that front end
Summary：For many back-end developers, the front-end is a pain. Dirty code within the application and even hard to test. So how can we use our experiences as Ruby developer to built a better front end? Not every application developer (back-end or JavaScript) places importance on the details of front-end structure. Instead, they prefer simply to use APIs — mostly with a JSON interface. Instead of interference with the front-end developer’s work, this provides a structured API that only takes care of defined values. CSS can’t live without HTML, and HTML almost can’t live without CSS. Let the front-end developer take care of both and consume the result as a well-tested API that takes nothing else than data as input.

Bio：CRuby committer and root operation engineer of ruby-lang.org. I am a full-stack developer at GMO Pepabo.
Subject：Middleware as Code with mruby
Summary：mruby is the lightweight implementation of the Ruby language and was released about a year ago. mruby has embeddable mechanism for middlewares like http server, search engine, etc. Embedded mruby provides ruby runtime and syntax to middlewares. It’s so powerful programming environment for Rubyists. Even with mruby, we were able to create web services with tests and gems, and it also helped to solve some problems using Ruby code outside of a Rails application. I will describe details of mruby in production service.

Subject：Automating our daily tasks with scripting
Summary：This talk aims to go through basic scripting skills in Ruby. Participants will have a better understanding in managing their daily tasks with scripting. For example, we can setup automated scripts to delete old files on a daily basis instead of doing it manually. These can be done with Bash, Perl and many other scripting languages, but among of which Ruby is better known for its readability. It is easier to write, maintain, and reuse. It saves some time on system management and allows us to put more focus on the projects.

Subject：Gulp on Rails: Return Front-end back to Front-end Developers (還給前端工程師一個天空)
Summary：Rails sprockets is dated. It was an awesome tool in years since its inception. Although it's easy to use, when it starts having bugs (we know it had), front-end developers are helpless in what is supposed to be their own ecosystem, because they don't know Ruby. Why should a front-end developers knows how to use Sprockets/Ruby instead of using their tools like gulp, grunt, browserify, webpack, etc, that belongs to JS ecosystem? Gulp, a modern approach to asset pipeline has become more popular and actively maintained by JS community. In this session, I'll share how and why I integrate Gulp and Rails.

Bio：Ted is a nomad technical director, a rock climber, and a big time coffee drinker.He has been programming since he got his first modem at the age of 12, and after spending most of his life writing in other languages, has finally found his long lost love in Ruby.
Subject：Beyond the MVC: An Object Taxonomy for Rails
Summary：Rails goes to great lengths to convince us that we can get by with merely three different building blocks--the old, familiar models, views, and controllers. In early 2010, James Golick objected to this and proposed the (then controversial) idea of adding something called a Service Object, into the mix. In this talk, we will look at the development in the 5 years that have since passed. We will take a walk outside the compound, and explore a new taxonomy of objects that we can use in our Rails applications to create a richer domain model.

林鈺翔(John Lin)

Head of Algorithm, SpoonRocket

Bio：Head of Algorithm at SpoonRocket. Creator of Livehouse.in(beta).Ruby lover. Full-stack developer. iOS developer. FP lover.
Subject：Need for Speed: Boost ruby with FFI
Summary：Let's make ruby the best language in the world by giving it the speed of C. Ruby's goal is maximize programmer happiness, not the happiness of computers. But sometimes we still need to give some sympathy to the poor machine, especially when our API requests timed out. There're multiple ways to speed up Ruby by running C under the hood. Among them, FFI (foreign function interface) is the one that give us the most pleasant experience. With FFI, we can use C libraries without writing a single line of C code. Better yet, we also get cross platform/implementation support for free. We'll start from how FFI works, then calling a simple c function from ruby. Explore more by bridging C structs to ruby class and handing C pointers. Conclude with a FFI example.

Subject：React on Rails
Summary：Rails has seen a lot of MVC’s for the V layer itself. May it be Ember or Angular, unless there’s some heavy groundwork, these don’t gel well with existing applications. React JS being framework Agnostic, blows out of these requirements, and being dead simple is far easier to add to existing / new projects. In this talk we’ll do walkthrough on using React JS and some of the new ES 6 features it brings, and integrating and using React in Rails. We’ll then take a look at various integration approaches with Rails- webpack/browserify and how to manage data and states using backbone, flux, GraphQL+Relay and more.

Subject：Venturing into Social E-Commerce Platforms
Summary：This talk focuses on the experiences, challenges, ideas and opportunities encountered while building your dream web platform project using Ruby on Rails. We take a curious look at how the student creator of Kuai List (kuailist.com), a social e-commerce platform, is doing just that. Everyday, we hear countless stories of new successful online platforms, their acquisitions, and their complexities. But few talk about what it takes to build one from the ground up. With the sudden rise of new programming technologies and easy-to-integrate services, online platforms have taken center stage and there is no better time to build your own. But even though it is important to get your ideas off the ground and seen, it is equally important to do it the right way and at the right time using the proper technology. Policies, standards, and security have never been more important to observe as they are now.

Subject：Running with Sockets in Production
Summary：Since winter 2014 we’ve built and maintained a successful student coursework portfolio management application with server–client messaging capabilities and automatic content synchronization on the front-end. This talk discusses finer points of building such a web-client-facing synchronization layer and keeping it running in production without incurring infrastructural frustration or programmer headaches. I’ll briefly look at available solutions and explain the pros and cons of each approach when it comes to sending server-side updates to active client applications, and demonstrate a successful approach that has been proven in production by hundreds of thousands of users.
