Workshops

Quiet Please

Attend one of our workshops to gain hands-on practical knowledge from our experienced workshop conductors. The workshops will be held separately from the one day conference and the workshop tickets need to be purchased separately as well. Both the workshops will be full day events and the venue will be reflected in our schedule.

Next generation web apps with dry-rb by Tim Riley At Josh Software Private Limited

11th August 9 AM - 5 PM

Found yourself tangled up in hard-to-maintain code? Been building app after app in the same way and never finding a way to make significant improvements? Vaunted object-oriented design principles proving too elusive or hard to apply? Thinking maybe it’s time to leave Ruby (gasp!) for something different?

If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, this workshop is for you!

Come along and learn how to build a new generation of Ruby web app with dry-rb : an app that is robust, cleanly architected, and just as easy to build now as it will be to maintain later.

At the end of the day, you’ll have made some real steps towards levelling up as a software developer. You’ll have explored a different paradigm in application design, practiced working with many new gems (15 at least count!), and hopefully found a new enthusiasm for Ruby and how you can wield it to write better, cleaner code.

This workshop is intended for developers with some experience working with Ruby. You’ll need your own laptop and a ready-to-go Ruby development environment.

What lies beneath (your models) by Aditya Godbole & Swanand Pagnis At BigBinary

11th August 9 AM - 5 PM

Relational DB, SQL, Joins, Constraints. Oh the horrors! Who needs to look there, when you have Active Record models! Well, anyone who is serious about writing production quality software. This is where we'll start. Come level up your database skills and learn how to leverage databases in your apps.

We will be discussing how to build a robust persistence layer for your application through good schema design, SQL best practices, and data integrity.

With a practical, hands-on approach, using Sequel and ActiveRecord and plain ol' SQL, we will look into the whys, the hows, and the gotchas of:

  • ER Modelling
  • Schema design
  • Middle tables, joins
  • Constraints, Checks, and Indexes
  • Locks and Transactions

At the end of the day, we aim to :

  • Leave you with practical tips, tricks you can start using from the next day!
  • Make the database layer less opaque to you, help you understand it more.
  • Point you in the right direction for seeking further knowledge.

This workshop is intended for people with at least some experience working on database backed applications with Ruby / Rails / Sinatra.

You will need a laptop with working Ruby, and Postgres. Detailed installation instructions will be provided to all those who register.
