RubyC as for me (5-6th of November, Kyiv)

November 11th, 2011

Hi all!
I’d like to tell few  words  about the  conference which took place on the 5-6th of November and  was named “RubyC” (rubyc.eu is the official site of the meeting) and I’ve been there as a listener.
Some features were very interesting for me. One of them was how to make rails application work faster by Alexander Dymo. The  main aim of this report was Garbage Collector (GC) in ruby. In general he told us about GC default values that build in ruby interpreter one of them value that call CG for each 8Mb. He proposed to pick up this value.

One more thing, that I has been interesting in, is creating of gems and posts from Pat Allan, which  helps to make applications more clear and structured.

There were some more discussions around Dmitriy Kostyuk’s report from HostPro CTO about cloud hosting for rails in Ukraine. I used this hosting 1 years ago and it was horrible I don’t know if  something has changed since that time,  but I hope so.
Currently Ruby on Rails programmers prefer more  Linod and Amazon.

Also  Roman  Babenko from our company was a speaker and told about Continuous Integration (CI)  in Ruby.

I’ was  really a  pleasure for  me  to visit this conference and I’m waiting for new meetings in the future.

Best regards,
Evgenii.S.Semenchuk

October 25th, 2011

On the last weekend Dnepropetrovsk hosted a conference Rubyshift, dedicated to Ruby. Part of our team also visited it.

The event turned out great! There were a lot of rubists not only from our country but also from Germany, USA, etc. Speakers presented interesting reports, which were peppered with good discussions during the breaks.

Special thanks to the organizators - everything was just fine, including a party at the end of the day(Puzata Hata cafe) and warm atmosphere during all event.

In addition to this we are happy just because of the fact that conference happened, as it is then following by RubyC, which means that the community in Ukraine is growing and more and more people are coming to the conferences and it is really good! We sincerely wish to continue!

Barcamp-4, 03-2011

April 21st, 2011

There was interesting format selected for last Barcamp. Kinda free discussion between rails specialists. During first conversation there were a lot information about large projects planning and implementation. It was interesting to listen Roman Babenko’s sentences about work organization. Second part under Stan Pogrebnyak’s moderation was even more interesting because discussion was based on real high-loaded project and Stan’s own experience. Also there was a lot of useful information received from public replica.

RubyMine: Новая среда разработки дла Ruby на основе IntellJ

November 4th, 2008

JetBrains презентовал новую среду разработки для RoR разработчиков RubyMine .

Я являюсь старым поклонником их среды для джава разработчиков IntellJ IDEA . Думаю многие знают, что у IDEA есть прекрасный плагин для разработки RoR приложений, которым я так же всегда пользовался.

Исходя из опыта работы уверен что RubyMine действительно будет самой удобной средой для RoR разработки и всем предлагаю попробовать ее.

В комменты пишете свое мнение о RubyMine.
