Tervetuloa! • Mina olen Adam • Lived in Helsinki between

Ruby Itself • Conceived my Yahkiro “Matz” Matsumoto in the
early 90s • Über success via Ruby on Rails & DHH • Powers Github (arguably most influential website in the past 5 years) • Has something for everyone

kaksibiljoonaa ! kaksisataakolmekymmentäyksimiljoonaa kahdeksansataakaksikymmentäkuusituhatta kuusikymmentäviisi
Ruby Gems vs Finland • Everyone in Helsinki would need
to download 4 gems at once • There are probably more lakes in Finland than there testing gems • Twice as many residents in Oulu then that are Ruby Gems
There’s a Gem for That
Web Sites & Web Applications • Rails - Web Applications
• Sinatra - General purpose web interface • Rack - Low Level • Jekyll - Static Site Generator
Web Servers • Thin • Puma • Unicorn • Rainbows
• Goliath • Passenger
Templating & Markup • ERB • Mustache • Handlebars •
Liquid • HAML • Slim
Databases & ORM • ActiveRecord • Sequel • ROM: Ruby
Object Mapper • Redis, Mongo, Couchbase, Riak, Firebase, and pretty much anything you can think of
If choosing a gem is hard, wait until you choose
your Ruby interpreter.
We have multiple interpreters
