Intro to Ruby (and RSpec)

Apr 3, 2011Download as KEY, PDF0 likes637 views

Ruby was created by Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto with a focus on programmer productivity and usability. It is a dynamically typed, interpreted programming language that was first released in 1996. Ruby supports object-oriented programming and features like blocks, lambdas, and regular expressions. Popular implementations of the Ruby virtual machine include MRI, YARV, JRuby, Rubinius, IronRuby, and MacRuby. RSpec is a testing framework for Ruby that uses describe and it blocks to specify expectations for code examples to verify.

THE RUBY LANGUAGE

• Originally by Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto
• “Ruby is designed for programmer productivity and fun, following
the principles of good user interface design. He stresses that
systems design needs to emphasize human, rather than computer,
needs.”

Taming Pythons with ZooKeeper (Pyconfi edition)Jyrki Pulliainen

Apache ZooKeeper is a distributed coordination service that allows distributed applications to synchronize data and configuration information and maintain consistency. It provides a hierarchical name space and simple primitives like counters and change notifications. ZooKeeper elects a leader automatically and guarantees consistency by requiring a quorum for all operations. It is useful for applications that need to maintain consistency but also remain available, as it allows choosing consistency and availability over partition tolerance. Spotify uses ZooKeeper to orchestrate distributed tasks across its infrastructure while maintaining a consistent order and remaining available within data centers.

OpenWhisk Go/Swift/Binaries RuntimeMichele Sciabarrà

The document discusses new runtimes in OpenWhisk for supporting Go, Swift, and binary actions. Specifically: - A new ActionLoop runtime was created to efficiently support Go actions and be more performant than the Docker skeleton runtime. - The ActionLoop runtime was extended to support generic binaries, scripting languages like Bash and Haskell, and compiling Go and Swift actions from source code. - Images with the ActionLoop runtime can be used both to execute actions directly and to compile Go and Swift actions offline.

OpenWhisk Go RuntimeMichele Sciabarrà

This document discusses developing a Go runtime for Apache OpenWhisk to improve upon the existing DockerSkeleton approach. The key points are: 1) The current DockerSkeleton approach has some limitations like being fragile and having potential race conditions. 2) The new design keeps the Python proxy but uses a Go executable that runs as a Unix command, reading input and writing output on stdin/stdout/stderr. 3) An initial implementation has been done in a GitHub repository replacing DockerSkeleton with a Go server and refactoring to a piped loop. Testing with a Swift executable showed promising performance improvements over DockerSkeleton.

RubyCocoa allows Ruby scripts to access and control Objective-C objects. It automatically creates Ruby proxy objects that are bridged to Objective-C classes, forwarding Ruby messages to instances of Objective-C classes. This allows Ruby and Objective-C code to be mixed in the same source files. RubyCocoa is supported by Apple and integrates with Xcode, providing full Cocoa support. To use RubyCocoa, one imports the OSX module, subclasses NSObject, connects outlets and actions, and calls Objective-C methods.

This document discusses AppleScript and how it works under the hood. It notes that AppleScript is actually two parts: the language itself and the Open Scripting Architecture (OSA) which is the underlying plumbing. OSA allows apps to send Apple Events to each other to communicate and share data. While AppleScript code looks English-like, it is actually querying apps and returning results, similar to how SQL queries databases. Alternative libraries like rb-appscript provide a more consistent interface to access OSA without AppleScript's complexity. The document demonstrates how to use rb-appscript to modify phone numbers in the macOS Address Book application.

3. RUBY LANGUAGE OVERVIEW • Dynamically typed • Interpreted • Can be modiﬁed at runtime • Object oriented • Blocks & lambdas • Nice support for Regular Expressions

4. RUBY VERSIONS ruby -v •1.8.6 – Still around but mostly supplanted by 1.8.7 •1.8.7 – some 1.9 features, compatible w/ 1.8.6 •1.9.2 – latest version, many VMs, Rails 2.3+

5. RUBY VMS • MRI (Matz's Ruby Interpreter) the original Ruby, default for 1.8 • YARV (yet another Ruby VM) faster than MRI, default for 1.9 • JRuby (Java) • Rubinius (pure ruby) • IronRuby (.NET) • MacRuby, HotCocoa • HotRuby/RubyJS (Flash/Javascript)

6. LETS GET STARTED • IRB: InteractiveRuBy >> 4 >> 4 + 4

7. EVERYTHING IS AN OBJECT “test”.upcase “test”.class “test”.methods

8. EVERYTHING EVALUATES TO SOMETHING 2+2 (2+2).zero?

9. METHODS ARE MESSAGES thing.do(4) thing.do 4 thing.send “do”, 4

10. OPERATORS ARE METHODS thing.do 4 3+2 thing.do(4) 3.+(2) thing.send “do”, 4 3.send "+", 2

11. DEFINING CLASSES • Let’s write some code!

12. INTRODUCTION TO RSPEC • Describe the feature • Verify expectation

13. RSPEC SYNTAX describe Something do end

14. RSPEC SYNTAX describe Something do it "should do whatever it should do" end

15. RSPEC SYNTAX describe Something do it "should do whatever it should do" do end end

16. RSPEC SYNTAX describe Something do it "should do whatever it should do" do s = Something.new end end

17. RSPEC SYNTAX describe Something do it "should do whatever it should do" do s = Something.new s.do_whatever(3, 2, 1) end end

18. RSPEC SYNTAX describe Something do it "should do whatever it should do" do s = Something.new s.do_whatever(3, 2, 1).should == "blast off!" end end

19. RSPEC SYNTAX describe Something do it "should do whatever it should do" do s = Something.new s.do_whatever(3, 2, 1).should == "blast off!" end end

20. • Let's try it!
