Building and deploying React applications.

Another presentation I was giving at Applied Materials office about React applications.

It’s trivial today to start writing and debugging some React code, but it’s not 100% clear how to properly deploy the application, manage versions and what implications that has on the build configurations. Especially if you want to allow different versions for different users in order to perform some A/B testing, testing new features in production environment, come up with some UI experiments, or gradually roll out new features for a subset of users.

In this presentation I hopefully covered all that.

Code is here. It shows the Rails example but it’s super easy to do the same in Node or Python, slides cover the differences.

Machine Learning: Make Your Ruby Code Smarter.

I was giving this presentation at RailsIsrael 2016 conference. I covered the basics of all major algorithms for supervised and unsupervised learning without a lot of math just to give the idea of what’s possible to do with them.

There is also a demo and ruby code of Waze/Uber like suggested destinations prediction with fast neural networks on Ruby.

Video and screen cast should be published at here shortly.

Migrating from Flux to Redux.

I was talking about migrating from Flux to Redux last Wednesday at Reacts Israel meetup.

Video and screen cast should be published at ReactJS-IL shortly.

TL;DR: When I started to work with React back in Apr-2015 there were many libraries to manage the application flow. I decided to start with classical FB’s Flux implementation to understand what’s missed there. Eventually react-redux and redux solved most of issues I had with Flux. This talk is about practical aspects of migration from Flux to Redux.

Slides are here.

Code is here.

Start with tag #flux, then #redux, then switch to master branch.

The June 2013 DevCon event took place on June 20. We sponsored the event, as we always do. Also Vitaly gave an overview talk on RubyMotion.

Rails Conference 2012, first time in Israel, was a great deal of fun. Lot’s of presenters both local and from all over the world, well, more like from all over the world of Rails. There were talks from Github, Heroku, Engine Yard, Gogobot, Get Taxi and lots and lots of others. Solid organization from Raphael Fogel People and Computers guys. Hordes of interesting people to talk to, nice and abundant food and coffee, lots of great content from the speakers and to sign off the day Github guys invited everyone to an open bar drinkup event.

We gave 2 talks, Vitaly’s “Performance - When, What and How” and Boris’ “Rails Missing Features”. Check out slides and videos of those talks.

I did an overview presentation about the current state of real time web and server-push technologies at the Israely DevCon 2012 conference.

Below is the transcript of the talk (actually more like a talk plan ;)

There is also a pdf version for download.

It is in English as this is the way I usually write down my presentations, although the actual talk was delivered in Hebrew.

Check out the video of the talk on YouTube or embedded here. And if you more of a reader then viewer you can check out the slides with sort of transcript below.

I had a lot of things to do last Thursday, Feb-17. I met a friend from abroad 3am at Ben Gurion Airport and spent several hours talking before we went to sleep, signed a contract for developing killer web app at 1:30am, and finally gave a presentation at The Junction at 4:30pm.

Vitaly gave an interesting presentation about MongoDB at Database 2011 Conference.

MongoDB. NoSQL for SQL addicts.

Slides are here.

We presented on IGTCloud Ruby On Rails Day today.

Agenda was a bit different this time, not only technical presentations but also a few words about modern approach of building web applications.

Find the slides below.

The OPEN 2010 conference was very well organized and had many interesting talks.

We are giving 4 out of 20 sessions at Open 2010, an Israeli open source conference.

About a week ago about 15 people were gathered in People and Computers offices thanks to Raphael Fogel.
