笹田耕一 Koichi Sasada (Matz' team at Heroku, Inc.)

  • bio: Five years ago, YARV I developed was merged into Ruby 1.9. After five years, now I can concentrate on Ruby 2.0 VM development as a member of Matz's team in Heroku, Inc.
  • subject: (Implementation Details of Ruby 2.0 VM).succ
  • summary: As a member of Matz's team in Heroku, I'm working Ruby 2.0 to be released in next February. Ruby 2.0 doesn't have drastic changes in behavior except adding some new features. However, an internal of Ruby 2.0 VM is changing to improve performance! For example, we changed VM data structures and method invocation processes to achieve fast execution. In this presentation, I will introduce the internal changes and its performance. This presentation is plus one version of my presentation at RubyConf 2012.

  • bio: Koan-Sin Tan learnt to use computer and did a bit BASIC programming on Multitech MPF-II (宏碁小教授二號, a not so compatible Apple-][ -like 6502 machine) when being at junior high school. He was fascinated by computers since then. Later on, he learnt 6502 assembly language, CP/M, Z80 assembly, etc. He learnt a bit Smalltalk with ObjectWorks and Smalltalk/V in 1990s. Since then, he has been used Smalltalk on and off. Recently, he used Smalltalk-based environments, such as Scratch, to teach his kid programming.
  • subject: 從一個業餘 Smalltalk programmer 的觀點看 Ruby 的 object model 和 bytecode
  • summary: Understanding object model and bytecode is a crucial part in understanding an interpreted object-oriented language. Smalltalk, one of the oldest object-oriented programming languages, has a great object model and has been used bytecode and VM since 1970s. It is interesting to compare Smalltalk's and Ruby's object model and bytecode.

  • subject: Concurrent Ruby Application Servers
  • summary: By understanding various of ways to achieve concurrency (i.e. serving more requests in a short period of time with less resource), we can pick the right model which suits our needs for a certain kind of web application and make it more responsive under high load/traffics and less vulnerable to DoS attack.

    There's no perfect one-and-for-all model, but only ones can suit our need best. We'll talk about various ways for concurrency, and what's current implementations which we can pick from and how to implement them.

  • subject: How to discover the Ruby's defects with web application.
  • summary: To discover the Ruby's defects is too difficult because they are in hidden place. So we need high contexts and techniques if we try to discover Ruby's defects without any ruby application.

    A remarkable feature of the Japanese Ruby is that we have many Ruby applications. A tDiary(http://www.tdiary.org/) is one of oldest web application with ruby. tDiary has been growing up with ruby, and found defects in ruby. Because tDiary uses Ruby functions that other softwares do not use.

    I will talk about Ruby's useful but rare functions and how to discover Ruby's defects.

  • subject: Modular web-apps with Rails, Sencha Ext JS, and Netzke
  • summary: Modular approach to complex RIA (rich internet applications) gives considerable advantages over the commonly used MVC: structuring code into well defined components provides for high scalability, reusability and testability of the code. Besides, with a component being a Ruby class, the developers have full access to such OOP techniques as inheritance and mixing-in. The Netzke open source framework takes all the hard work of giving the developers clean and consistent techniques to create web components using Ruby for the server-side, and Sencha Ext JS for the client-side code. This talk will give you the introduction to the rationale behind Netzke, as well as show you some very cool code during the live coding session, which will make you want to use Netzke in your next project.

  • subject: Ruby Toolbox for DevOps
  • summary: 隨著各種行動、社交網路服務的蓬勃發展，以及敏捷軟體開發和 SaaS、雲端運算的普及化，在現今的網路服務，程式的開發以及服務的維運已經變得密不可分。開發者時常是身兼得伺服器管理以及營運的角色，也因此產生了 DevOps 這樣的新一代工作職位。
    在本次的演講當中，主要希望和觀眾從三個面向去切入 DevOps 們可以如何使用 Ruby 來改善工作流程：
    1. Provisioning - 透過 Chef / Vagarnt 等 Ruby 相關工具來達成自動化部署以及彈性的調整伺服器數量
    2. Continous Integration & Deployment - 透過 Capistrano / Janky / Hubot 以及 GitHub 的 API 整合來達成持續整合和部署
    3. Monitoring - 透過 God / Fluentd 等工具來監控伺服器以及程式狀況、並且收集所需要的記錄以便後續進行分析
    在演講的內容中，將會使用目前本公司的服務以及工作流程來作為例子分享，會特別針對中小型的 Startups 要如何善用這些工具來改善工作流程和節省會加以描述。

  • subject: A Journey into Pair Programming
  • summary: What’s the deal with pair programming? Why do it? Is it for me? How to do it? This talk will discuss these questions by walking through one’s firsthand experience of switching from solo programming to pairing, as well as her takeaways gathered from pairing with various developers: ranging from the very experienced Jedi masters, to those whom she shares similar skill levels; and from those who read her mind to those who are very principled and opinionated. Pairing with different types of people has its respective pros and cons. Regardless, there are ways to make almost every combination of pairs work more efficiently and effectively than soloing, with both pair gaining valuable skills from the mutually beneficial relationship.
