Why PHP is (so much) more better than Ruby?

Jun 26, 20117 likes6,580 views

PHP is better than Ruby for several reasons according to the document. PHP has a lot of free hosting options, a bigger community, and is easier to learn than Ruby since it is similar to C and Perl. PHP also has clear line endings defined by semi-colons and is used by many big websites like Facebook, Flickr, and Wikipedia. It also has many content management systems and blog engines like WordPress, Drupal and Joomla available.

Ruby Lugdunum - June 2011 @camilleroux

The author expresses their wishes for improvements to the Ruby programming language and community in the upcoming year. They want warnings to be enabled by default in Ruby 2.0 to catch errors, better support for functional programming patterns, and more approachable books on maintainable and optimized Ruby code. The author also hopes the Ruby community will ask and answer more advanced technical questions, be less discriminatory, and continue improving Ruby's ability to scale.

Forget Ruby. Forget CoffeeScript. Do SOAMichał Łomnicki

The document discusses moving away from focusing solely on Ruby and instead embracing service-oriented architecture (SOA) and diversifying programming languages. It argues that picking the best tool for each job rather than sticking with just one language like Ruby will allow for more reuse between projects and easier upgrades. Specific alternatives mentioned include using Go for backends instead of Ruby and moving away from JavaScript for frontends.

Many ways to Android Development - a rant!kashifrazzaqui

This document discusses different approaches to mobile development for Android, noting both benefits and drawbacks. It explores options like PhoneGap, DojoX Mobile, Sencha Touch, and Titanium Mobile before concluding that for Android, a native approach using Java and XML is best despite requiring more coding. Key frustrations mentioned include lack of cross-platform support, slow performance, and difficulty modifying frameworks. In the end, the document acknowledges native development allows for proper scrolling, back button handling, and other platform-specific functionality, even if it means taking on more coding work.

Merb presentation at ORUGMatt Aimonetti

The document discusses the Merb web framework and promotes its flexibility, performance, and modularity compared to other Ruby web frameworks like Rails. It provides examples of generating different types of Merb applications and highlights Merb's ability to be opinionated or agnostic. The document argues that Merb is fast enough for real-world web applications and that hardware costs outweigh development costs, so focusing on developer productivity is important. It also discusses upcoming Merb 2.0 features and asks if anyone has any other questions.

Targeting Screens with HTML5, Flash & NativeEric Fickes

HTML5 will connect devices in a similar fashion XML connected systems back in 2000. The target isn't just web and desktop anymore. Soon software developers will be targeting screens: desktop monitor, smartphone monitor, and TV. On the web, HTML5 will be the common platform, but we'll still need the Flash Platform. This presentation will talk about where we have been and also where we are likely to go in the future. Developers will need to know when to use HTML5, when to use Flash and Flex, and when to use Native. This presentation will steer you in the right direction.

La boucle à gagner du tempsCamille Roux

Inspiré par la semaine de 4 heures, j'ai petit à petit optimisé mon temps chez Human Coders (centre de formation et de conseil pour développeurs). Avec mon associé, nous avons d’abord profité du temps gagné pour nous consacrer à de nouvelles tâches afin d’accélérer la croissance de la société. Ensuite, nous en avons profité pour avoir plus de temps libre. Aujourd’hui, nous ne travaillons que quelques heures par semaine et Human Coders continue à présenter une belle croissance (CA multiplié par 2 tous les ans). Dans cette conférence, j'ai présenté mon histoire et les techniques que nous avons mis en oeuvre pour arriver à ce résultat (notamment la « boucle à gagner du temps »). Cette présentation a eu lieu le jeudi 23 avril 2015 à Lyon : http://nxtdr.fr/project/camille-roux-la-semaine-de-4-h/ Si vous n'arrivez pas à vous libérer du temps ? Vous pouvez me contacter pour que je vous accompagne dans cette démarche : http://conseil.camilleroux.com/

Qu'il s'agisse d'un associé pour votre start-up ou d'un salarié, le choix d'un développeur est tout simplement crucial. Dénicher la perle rare n'est pas chose aisée. Le marché est clairement en tension en ce moment et il est nécessaire de mettre toutes les chances de son coté. Au programme de cette conférence : Quels moyens pour recruter mon prochain développeur ? Comment bien rédiger une offre d'emploi ? Comment donner envie aux développeurs de travailler dans ma société ? Comment améliorer mon image employeur ?

Moins on code, mieux on se porte !Camille Roux

Nous sommes des développeurs. Les gens qui nous regardent faire grandir Human Coders pourraient se dire que nous avons de la chance d’être développeurs car nous pouvons tout coder nous-même. Pourtant, nous nous efforçons de coder le moins possible ! Paradoxe ? Pas si sûr … Ce talk inspiré d'un article récemment publié (Moins on code, mieux on se porte !), explique notre démarche pour faire évoluer nos sites le plus efficacement possible ainsi que les services que nous utilisons pour ne pas réinventer la roue.

Combien de développeurs ont zéro visiteur chaque fois qu’ils créent un site ? Combien d’entrepreneurs se plantent car persuadés de connaître le marché qu’ils attaquent ? Combien d’entrepreneurs font refaire X fois l’application à leurs développeurs car à chaque fois les utilisateurs potentiels ne sont pas convaincus ? … Beaucoup de temps perdu lors de la création d’un service web pourrait être évité en prenant un peu de recul et en posant quelques questions aux personnes directement intéressées par votre service. Nous verrons quelques applications pratiques de la Customer Validation. Nous verrons également comment développer le plus rapidement possible votre site, afin d’être le plus tôt possible sur le marché.

Comment tester et améliorer son idée en un minimum de temps ? - DevoxxCamille Roux

Vous fourmillez d'idées ? Vous en réalisez parfois quelques unes ? Et à chaque fois, vos projets n'ont pas le succès escompté ou bien, vous arrêtez ces projets en court de route car ils vous demandent trop de temps de développement. Dans un premier temps, je vais vous présenter différents moyens de tester votre idée (Customer Validation) et de l'affiner en quelques heures. Les développeurs ont souvent tendance à ce précipiter vers un prototype alors qu'un simple formulaire envoyé à quelques dizaines de personnes ou une discussion autour d'un café avec la bonne personne et les bonnes questions peut déjà vous donner de précieuses informations et vous faire gagner beaucoup de temps. Ensuite, je vous présenterai des moyens de développer votre prototype le plus rapidement possible afin d'obtenir des retours le plus tôt possible en faisant appel à des technologies adaptées au bootstrapping comme Ruby on Rails, Heroku, Twitter Bootstrap...
