Location:
Jan P. Syses sal
Abstract: TextMate is a text editor for OS X. Its highly popular with Ruby/Rails developers, but too many developers just used TextMate because it has syntax highlighting, and they've learnt one or two snippets for Ruby and HTML.
In this session we'll peel back the wonderful world of using TextMate for Ruby/Rails. You'll be show a range of features from the new Rails bundle. You'll also learn how to extend TextMate itself using your favourite language: Ruby.
Presentation: "Packaging Ruby Libraries with RubyGems"
Time:
Friday 16:00 - 17:00
Location:
Lillesalen
Abstract: Ruby has a simple mechanism to separating code into separate files: you use the 'require' or 'load' statement to import them. Ruby on Rails has a more advanced mechanism that supports encapsulation of code, tests, Rake tasks, and documentation with its plugin mechanism.
Yet the undisputed King of Ruby packaging is RubyGems. It provides encapsulation of code, tests, and documentation; release versioning; inter-RubyGem dependencies and a simple deployment system: gem install somegem.
In this session you'll learn how to write new RubyGems, how to upload them to RubyForge, and more.
