Here is my talk "SchemaProcessor":

Whereby I "officially" defined the term "duck raping" as "to rudely ducktype by any means necessary".

I won't go into it now, but "duck raping" is different from "duck typing" by a long shot. I'll get all the slides I can up for RubyConf2007 and the RejectConf soon.

Ruby Inline is an analog to Perl's Inline::C. Out of the box, it allows you to embed C/++ external module code in your ruby script directly. By writing simple builder classes, you can teach how to cope with new languages (fortran, perl, whatever). The code is compiled and run on the fly when needed.

Changes:

3.6.5 / 2007-11-08

• 1 minor enhancement:

  • Quick fix for OSX 10.5 native ruby (should be fixed in 10.5.2).

• http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubyinline/

• http://www.zenspider.com/ZSS/Products/RubyInline/

miniunit is a completely minimial drop-in replacement for ruby's test/unit. This is meant to be clean and easy to use both as a regular test writer and for language implementors that need a minimal set of methods to bootstrap a working unit test suite.

Changes:

1.1.0 / 2007-11-08

• 4 major enhancements:
  • Finished writing all missing assertions.
  • Output matches original test/unit.
  • Documented every method needed by language implementor.
  • Fully switched over to self-testing setup.

• 2 minor enhancements:

  • Added deny (assert ! test), our favorite extension to test/unit.
  • Added .autotest and fairly complete unit tests. (thanks Chad for help here)

102 slides and while I feel like I'm close to done, I feel like it is eating my soul.
