Notes

From @benjaminoakes:

PowerEnum

by Arthur Shagall

  • At same company as Mike Sandler (TMXCredit)
  • ActiveRecord with slug lookup, basically
  • Something[:foo] gives you an ActiveRecord instance
  • Gem: power_enum

Build your next app using Meteor

by Turiy Dybskiy

PgPower: Rails Postrges for Power Users

by Mike Sandler

  • At same company as Arthur Shagall (TMXCredit)
  • Schema dumping becomes hard when doing migrations with raw SQL
  • PgPower helps out; augments the migrations DSL
  • Gem: pg_power

Under the C: Ruby C Extensions

by Mike Laurence

Why?

  • Low level C libs
  • Faster

Why not?

  • Documentation kinda sucks
  • Intimidating
  • etc

How much work for a C extension?

  • extconf.rb, mkmf (happens as a part of the gem install)
