Ruby On Rails Basics
Ruby On Rails BasicsAmit Solanki Ruby on Rails is a web application framework that follows the model-view-controller (MVC) pattern and includes everything needed to build database-backed web applications using the Ruby programming language. It aims to make web development more productive by utilizing conventions that reduce the need for configuration and promote reuse of common tasks like connecting to databases. The framework provides models for interacting with the database, views for displaying the user interface, and controllers that handle and respond to user input by manipulating models and rendering views.
Ruby on Rails Presentation
Ruby on Rails PresentationMichael MacDonald Ruby on Rails is a web application framework that is designed to make programming web applications easier and more enjoyable. It includes features like an object-relational mapper called Active Record that allows database rows to be represented as objects, conventions that reduce configuration, and support for test-driven development. Rails is built on Ruby, an interpreted object-oriented programming language, and aims to be programmer friendly and allow powerful applications to be built quickly. Several experts praise Rails for lowering the barriers to entry for programming and being a well-thought-out framework.

Introducing RaveJS: Spring Boot concepts for JavaScript applications
Introducing RaveJS: Spring Boot concepts for JavaScript applicationsJohn Hann Modern JavaScript frameworks have become quite sophisticated. Unfortunately, they have also become quite complicated. The demos and sample projects for these frameworks look deceptively simple. However, to build and deploy real applications, developers must scaffold, configure, and maintain a tremendous amount of intricate machinery. Until recently, the Java world wasn't very different. Spring Boot finally made it easy to create stand-alone, production-grade Spring Applications that can you can "just run". Can we do the same for JavaScript? Yes, we can! Introducing RaveJS. Rave eliminates configuration, machinery, and complexity. Stop configuring and tweaking machinery such as file watchers, minifiers, and transpilers just to get to a runnable app. Instead, go from zero to "hello world" in 30 seconds. In the next 30 seconds, easily add capabilities and frameworks to your application simply by installing *Rave Extensions* and *Rave Starter* packages from npm and Bower, the leading JavaScript package managers. Finally, install additional *Rave Extension* packages to apply your favorite build, deploy, and testing patterns.

java database connectivity for java programming
java database connectivity for java programmingrinky1234 - JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) is a Java API that allows Java programs to connect and execute queries with various databases. It uses JDBC drivers to connect to different database types.
- There are four main types of JDBC drivers: JDBC-ODBC bridge driver, native-API driver, network protocol driver, and thin driver. The thin driver provides the best performance as no additional software is required on the client or server side.
- To connect to a database using JDBC, a program loads the appropriate driver, establishes a connection, creates statements to execute queries, processes result sets, and closes the connection. The example shows how to connect to an Oracle database using JDB

WE have been managing our servers using new age configuration management tools but thats not sufficient as we did not bring that advantage to our end users.
FreeSWITCH as a Microservice
FreeSWITCH as a MicroserviceEvan McGee This document discusses microservices architecture compared to a monolithic architecture. A microservices architecture breaks an application into smaller, independent services that each perform discrete functions. This allows for more rapid development and improved scalability. However, a microservices architecture is also more complex to deploy and manage. The document provides an example of how a VoIP application could use a microservices approach by breaking components like billing, fraud detection, and call analytics into separate services. It also discusses using Docker containers and services to deploy and scale the microservices architecture.

DevOpsDays Atlanta 2025 - Building 10x Development Organizations.pptxJustin Reock Building 10x Organizations with Modern Productivity Metrics
10x developers may be a myth, but 10x organizations are very real, as proven by the influential study performed in the 1980s, ‘The Coding War Games.’
Right now, here in early 2025, we seem to be experiencing YAPP (Yet Another Productivity Philosophy), and that philosophy is converging on developer experience. It seems that with every new method we invent for the delivery of products, whether physical or virtual, we reinvent productivity philosophies to go alongside them.
But which of these approaches actually work? DORA? SPACE? DevEx? What should we invest in and create urgency behind today, so that we don’t find ourselves having the same discussion again in a decade?
