Silicon Valley Code Camp : October 8th and 9th, 2011.Session
WebSocket I/O with Ruby EventMachine
About This Session
Overview
In this session, I will cover using Ruby EventMachine to create a real-time - event driven - web application. This session will cover setting up an EventMachine server, Registering endpoints (unique websocket connections), and handling live or autonomous communication.
Session will cover following ruby technologies
1. RVM - using rvm gemsets with .rvmrc (http://beginrescueend.com/) - triggering use of custom rvm gemsets from within github repo
2. Gemfile (for bundle install) (gem install bundler)
3. Ruby EventMachine (http://eventmachine.rubyforge.org/EventMachine.html)
4. em-websocket (gem), em-http-request (gem) usage, patterns
5. JSON object serialization
6. Concurrent Programming in Ruby
7. Autonomous Communication
Session Application
During the course of this session, we will build a real-time, multi-threaded communications platform that can connect to any socket based endpoint, including another user, or HTTP API, or custom endpoint, or protocol.
- Utilize html5 websockets and Json messaging to build an event-driven communications platform
- Drive socket based communication utilizing the Observer and Reactor patterns
- Use blocks (&block) to deliver http responses - from any 3rd party rest API - from your eventmachine server, back down through a websocket to the user who generated the request, or on time-based cycles.
- Learn how to use Modules (mix-ins)
- Build configuration files with YAML
- Accept Command-Line arguments using ARGV
- Have fun with other Ruby geeks!
