Intro to Object Oriented Programming in Ruby and Intro to ActiveAdmin

Intro to Object Oriented Programming in Ruby

Are you interested in writing code that is easier to test, integrate and maintain? Have you heard of things like polymorphism, inheritance and encapsulation but are never really sure how or when to use them? Join Peter Brown of Draker for an overview of object oriented programming concepts in the context of Ruby. He will discuss some basic and advanced OOP techniques, when and when not to apply them, and how to write maintainable code by testing and refactoring.

Intro to ActiveAdmin

One thing Ruby on Rails is really great at is CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Destroy). Ever think though “Wouldn’t it be awesome if it was even simpler?”. Well, ActiveAdmin is your answer. ActiveAdmin is a framework that abstracts common business application patterns (such as CRUD) while creating a simple and intuitive interface with a minimal amount of code. Join Tristan O’Neil of Gristmill for an overview of the framework. He will discuss why to use it, how to use it and might even subject himself to a live coding demo.
