RubyFoo 2009: Communicative Programming - making Ruby talk your language (London, UK)
The RubyFoo conference is coming to London in October 2-3,2009! This year the theme will be Communicative Programming - making Ruby talk your language. The conference covers two days, one for presentations from leading experts within the Ruby community and another for collaborative hacking giving you a chance to hang out with Ruby geeks, experts, and curious newcomers in a casual and laid back atmosphere.
Tamas Nagy will represent Erlang Training and Consulting on Saturday, 3 October 2009. Tamas will give a 10 minute talk on How to make Erlang work in your Ruby project. So come, listen, learn, contribute and share the RubyFoo. Use the Discount Code "Erlang_RubyFoo" when you register and get £25 off the price!
Abstract of Tamas's talk:
Given the set of strengths and weaknesses of Erlang and Ruby they seem to be a match made in heaven. Erlang is really powerful language to build distributed, scalable, fault tolerant systems but its IO system and the string handling is fairly basic and people find the syntax 'off-putting' at first. Whereas Ruby has excellent string handling has good supports for rapid development and generally a more familiar syntax for developers coming from other languages, but distribution and multi-core is not well supported and the interpreter+GC is taking its tool on performance.
In this talk Tamas will try to cover most of the possibilities how these two languages can work together using ErlEctricity, Nanite, RabbitMQ etc.
