A Play-date with Rails and .NET
The new kid on the block of web
platforms is Ruby on Rails. We've heard about it, dabbled in it, and might have
considered using it in some our solutions… but one of the hesitations comes from
integration. How will it work with existing data? How will it work with existing
.NET applications and libraries? The answers are out there ... and this
discussion will lead you to examples on how you can do integration (both ways)
between Ruby on Rails and .Net. You'll see how you can easily invoke / publish
web services, databases, and libraries between the two. Come check out what all
the hype is about and expand your toolbox to help provide better solutions to
your problems.
Speaker Bio
Jake is a senior consultant for Inetium that has been
consulting / developing software in the Twin Cities for nearly 4 years. Just
recently relocated to Fort Worth, TX. My development experience has been
primarily focused on smart client development and mobile development and social
networking. I've been working on a large social networking site (www.yfly.com) that has reached over 200,000 users
and the recently popular www.drop.io. My
interests for software development include: bioinformatics, genetics, .Net (C#),
Ruby on Rails, Erlang, and mostly scientific stuff, but I dabble in just about
everything!
