From tj at stank.us Thu Dec 2 07:19:42 2010 From: tj at stank.us (TJ Stankus) Date: Thu, 2 Dec 2010 07:19:42 -0500 Subject: [raleigh.rb] Talk topics Message-ID: I'd like to solicit some talk topics for West End Ruby meetups. We usually have a talk/presentation every other month or so, with hack/discussion nights in between. So, please let me know if there are talks that you'd either like to hear or give. I'd like to start out the year with 3 presenters booked for February, April, and June. If you're new to giving talks, West End is a pretty comfortable environment. The audience is not large; we can only fit about 15 people in the room. You have a large wall monitor available to you (thanks to Carrboro Coworking) but are not obligated to use it. Talks usually involve roundtable discussion both during and afterward. There is no real time minimum. Even a brief 15 minute talk can (and usually does) spawn a good bit of conversation. If you've been to a BarCamp, it's pretty much like that. The only real ground rules are that the talk be interesting to other Ruby developers and that it doesn't duplicate anything recent or upcoming for Raleigh.rb. When there's a conflict, Raleigh.rb wins. Feel free to hit me up either offline or in this thread. Here are a couple ideas to get you thinking: - RVM - HTML5/CSS3 - JavaScript testing. (Done fairly recently at Triangle JS meetup, but the tools in this space are evolving quickly.) - Productivity - Using with Rails Thanks, -TJ From seancribbs at gmail.com Thu Dec 2 08:41:45 2010 From: seancribbs at gmail.com (Sean Cribbs) Date: Thu, 2 Dec 2010 08:41:45 -0500 Subject: [raleigh.rb] Talk topics In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Assuming I'm still here in January, I could give a short talk (15 min or less) about qc.js (testing framework) or RVM.

How's it compare to ObjectiveResource (http://iphoneonrails.com/)? -- Nathaniel Talbott <:((>< From blakewatters at gmail.com Wed Dec 8 10:54:26 2010 From: blakewatters at gmail.com (Blake Watters) Date: Wed, 8 Dec 2010 10:54:26 -0500 Subject: [raleigh.rb] Talk topics In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Nathaniel - There are a bunch of differences. RestKit is a much broader framework. The base level provides a high level HTTP stack with a bunch of bells and whistles: - Very simple request/response wrappers hiding annoying complexities of NSURLConnection - Dead simple support for POST/PUT params from simple dictionaries - Designed to function completely asynchronously without the end programmer screwing with threads - Integration with Reachability framework for detecting connectivity changes - Support for upload of large files (i.e. videos) via streaming API's (from NSData, NSStream, or files on disk) - A queue that lets you control how many connections are hitting the wire at once and the ability to suspend network operations to free up processing resources On top of this network layer, there is an object mapping system that lets you declaratively map remote resources to local domain objects. You either inherit from RKObject or RKManagedObject or implement the RKObjectMappable protocol yourself to instruct RestKit how to map remote payload attributes to your local object properties. It uses reflection to intelligently decode strings containing dates to NSDate properties and various other niceties. There's a simple routing layer lets you map local objects to the remote resources they live in. At the end of the day, you wind up with code that looks like: // Load a remote collection of Article objects - (void)loadRemoteArticles { RKObjectManager* manager = [RKObjectManager sharedManager]; [manager loadObjectsAtResourcePath:@"/articles" delegate:self]; } - (void)objectLoader:(RKObjectLoader*)objectLoader didLoadObjects:(NSArray*)objects { // objects contains a mapped collection of Article objects // objectLoader contains the RKRequest & RKResponse that was generated & processed } - (void)objectLoader:(RKObjectLoader*)objectLoader didFailWithError:(NSError*)error { ... } // Create & update a remote object - (void)workWithObjectsExample { Article* article = [Article newObject]; article.title = @"This is the title"; article.body = @"This is the body"; [[RKObjectManager sharedManager] postObject:article delegate:self]; article.body = @"new body"; [[RKObjectManager sharedManager] putObject:article delegate:self]; } JSON processing is done on a background thread via either SBJSON or YAJL. The object to property mappings are done with key value coding, so you can do various tricks beyond simple 1-1 attribute mapping. On top of the object mapping layer, there is deep integration with Core Data. RK will manage a core data managed object model for you, handling synchronization of the local data store with the remote backend (just tell it about your primary keys). Thread synchronization of the managed object contexts is taken care of for you. When you use the Core Data store, you can build pretty sophisticated UI's using local searching and filtering that would otherwise be really slow if you were hitting the wire. It also lets you provide an offline view of your data and sync when you have network connectivity (check out the GateGuru app and put it into Airplane Mode). We also ship with an object seeder, that lets you fill up a seed database from a set of source JSON files so your app has usable data in the store immediately when downloaded from the app store. RestKit is also under active development and in production for a bunch of apps in the store (see GateGuru, Blue Cross/Blue Shield of North Carolina, Go Try It On, etc.), where Objective Resource looks pretty dormant. - Blake On Sat, Dec 4, 2010 at 10:20 AM, Nathaniel Talbott wrote: > On Sat, Dec 4, 2010 at 8:41 AM, Blake Watters > wrote: > > > I'd be happy to give a talk about the RestKit framework > > (http://www.restkit.org/) we've developed at Two Toasters.

Friday, Dec. 17th, at O'Malley's Tavern in Raleigh. See for details and to RSVP.

So if you're a hacker with an entrepreneurial inclination - of if you just like hanging out with such people - this group is for you.

Sorry about that. Regarding your last question, I'm not sure. We use it's built-in pagination, but against a "static" table, so, clicking on different sort column doesn't present the issue you describe. I know that Datatables gives you options for backend data, including ajax calls instead of static data, so, hopefully it is smart enough to handle pagination correctly when pulling live data from the server.

When a sort column is clicked, data is re-requested from the server, and the sort column's id is passed along. The server is responsible for returning a sorted data set. FWIW, I use the "dynamic scrolling" feature of jqGrid instead of pagination - it pulls data from the server as needed while the user scrolls. DataTables appears to also have this feature.

We use it's built-in pagination, but against a "static" table, so, clicking on different sort column doesn't present the issue you describe. I know that Datatables gives you options for backend data, including ajax calls instead of static data, so, hopefully it is smart enough to handle pagination correctly when pulling live data from the server. > > Jamey > > > On Fri, Dec 17, 2010 at 12:17 PM, Brian Adkins wrote: > Yes, I was simply noting the advantage of having pagination in a grid tool. There's a limit to the number of rows you want to stuff into one of these before you want to paginate. I assume that it does the "right thing" when you click a different sort column while in paginate mode and doesn't just resort the current set of data it has. > > It looks like a nice tool - thanks for the tip. > > > -- > Brian Adkins > Lojic Technologies, LLC > http://lojic.com/ > > > > > On Dec 17, 2010, at 11:41 AM, jamey.cribbs at gmail.com wrote: > >> Take a look at the examples page.
