This document discusses Capistrano, a remote server automation and deployment tool. Some key points:
- Capistrano allows reliable deployment of web applications to multiple machines simultaneously, with features like rollback, adding tasks, and automating common tasks.
- It works by creating a new folder for each deployment on servers and symlinking the current version. Shared files are not overwritten on redeploys.
- Configuration involves setting stages, roles, branches, and other parameters in Capistrano files. Tasks can be added for custom actions.
- Deploying runs tasks sequentially like updating servers, publishing, finishing. Rollback has similar reversing tasks. Plugins add features like maintenance modes.
This document discusses using Capistrano, an open source tool for automating software deployments. It describes some of the issues with manual deployment processes and why automation is needed. Capistrano allows developers to deploy applications by writing scripts that execute commands remotely via SSH. It handles tasks like updating code, databases, and symlinking shared files. Capistrano provides a consistent, secure way for developers to deploy applications while still giving system administrators control over server environments.
This document provides instructions for deploying a Rails application using Capistrano. It includes steps to set up Capistrano, configure the deploy.rb file, generate SSH keys, add the deploy key to GitHub, run Capistrano tasks to deploy the application, and make subsequent deploys when code changes. The application is deployed to a server at 192.168.255.54 running Mongrel and uses Git for version control.
Learn how to use Capistrano to automate the deployment of your Ruby on Rails applications. Apply best practices and add-ons for customizing Capistrano.
For many years Capistrano has been the defacto deployment tool, but many organisations have yet to realise the benefits of automating their deployment process. Automated Deployments are fast, less error prone, easier to rollback and you can dish out the keys to other team members so anyone can deploy.
During this talk we’ll look at how to “capify” a simple PHP project and deploy it in a few minutes. And, as Capistrano is a “remote server automation and deployment tool”, we’ll also look at some of the other things Capistrano can do for you such as restarting apache or grepping server log (and more). We’ll also take a look at the various plug-ins available and see how easy it can be to write your own.
If you are deploying using ssh / git pull / apache restart? Then it’s time to make a change: automate all the things and live in a world of “repeatable success”.

The document provides guidelines for Web 2.0 design standards including using simplicity, central layouts with fewer columns, separate top sections, simple navigation, bold logos, bigger text, strong colors, gradients, reflections, cute icons, and star flashes. Some key points are to remove unnecessary elements, achieve the same result more simply, position content centrally for simplicity, use fewer columns so less is more, have a distinct top section for the header, make navigation easy to understand, use bold logos and text for visibility and emphasis, and leverage strong colors, gradients and reflections for visual appeal.
Web 2.0 refers to next-generation Internet services that facilitate sharing and collaboration on the World Wide Web. It is characterized by user-generated and user-edited content, as well as shared data and participatory experiences. Key technologies include wikis, blogs, photo and video sharing, mashups, and folksonomies. While Web 1.0 focused on static websites with information created by developers, Web 2.0 emphasizes user participation through social media and interactive applications.
Caching involves temporarily storing data that is likely to be used again to improve performance. In web applications, caching can occur at different levels: page caching caches entire pages, action caching caches actions along with filters, and fragment caching caches parts of views. Ruby on Rails provides built-in support for caching through page, action, and fragment caching. Page caching is fastest but ignores parameters, action caching runs filters before caching, and fragment caching is used when parts of pages change independently. Caching improves performance by reducing load on application servers.
LINQ (Language Integrated Query) provides built-in querying capabilities for .NET similar to SQL.

Everyone’s talking about AI but is anyone really using it to create real value?
Most companies want to leverage AI. Few know 𝗵𝗼𝘄.
✅ What exactly should you ask to find real AI opportunities?
✅ Which AI techniques actually fit your business?
✅ Is your data even ready for AI?
If you’re not sure, you’re not alone. This is a condensed version of the slides I presented at a Linkedin webinar for Tecnovy on 28.04.2025.
This is the keynote of the Into the Box conference, highlighting the release of the BoxLang JVM language, its key enhancements, and its vision for the future.
TrustArc Webinar: Consumer Expectations vs Corporate Realities on Data Broker...TrustArc
Most consumers believe they’re making informed decisions about their personal data—adjusting privacy settings, blocking trackers, and opting out where they can. However, our new research reveals that while awareness is high, taking meaningful action is still lacking. On the corporate side, many organizations report strong policies for managing third-party data and consumer consent yet fall short when it comes to consistency, accountability and transparency.
This session will explore the research findings from TrustArc’s Privacy Pulse Survey, examining consumer attitudes toward personal data collection and practical suggestions for corporate practices around purchasing third-party data.
Attendees will learn:
- Consumer awareness around data brokers and what consumers are doing to limit data collection
- How businesses assess third-party vendors and their consent management operations
- Where business preparedness needs improvement
- What these trends mean for the future of privacy governance and public trust
This discussion is essential for privacy, risk, and compliance professionals who want to ground their strategies in current data and prepare for what’s next in the privacy landscape.

2. What is Capistrano? Capistrano is an open source tool for running scripts on multiple servers;
3. Intro to Capistrano The main functionality of the Capistrano is to Deploy the rails application which you have already written. and we are using the "SVN" subversion to manage the code. Capistrano will transfer all the files of the rails application which you have developed in your local host to server directly by simply executing an simple command in your command prompt.
6. Installing Capistrano Cap –TV => Shows the all available options Create a rails application and capistranize your application using the following command capify . It will Creates two files: config/deploy.rb - capfile
7.
8. deploy.rb set :application, “yourappname" set :repository, “your svn url" role :web, “your site address" role :app, " your site address " role :db, " your site address " set :deploy_to, “path to deploy" set :user, “username" set :svn_username, “svn username" set :svn_password, “svn password" desc "Restart the webserver/fcgi procs, however you do it" task :restart, :roles => :app do # I’m not going to restart anything for this example end task :after_deploy, :roles => :app do # Set my new dispatch.fcgi to be executable run "chmod 755 #{deploy_to}/current/public/dispatch.fcgi" end
19. Important commands 1) cap deploy:setup This command creates the appropriate directory structure for Capistrano on the deployment server based upon values set in your deploy.rb 2) cap deploy:check If everything is successful, you should see a message that reads something like… You appear to have all necessary dependencies installed 3) cap deploy:update push your code out to the server 4) cap deploy:start to start up your application
20. Capistrano Just Assumes... Same deploy directory structure and password on each machine Web app uses FastCGI with Apache or LightTPD As the number of machines and processes in your environment increases... you’re still typing exactly one command.
