Wroclove.rb round-up

  • Mike

    From one-liners to big applications, whether it comes to Ruby, PHP or JavaScript, there is not much Mike has not learnt over past 6 years. Doing mostly backend, he is capable of creating a system that does the most complicated stuff, while retaining its simple usage. Personally, he is an HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript freak. Mike was involved in multiple open-source projects, including MediaWiki (wiki engine powering Wikipedia).

    Privately, a brony (go ahead and try Konami Code here), an addicted gamer, karaoke singer and a pub crawler who loves cities of Amsterdam, Cologne and Wrocław.

It's been over a week since our crew, that is me, Jan and Georg went on a trip to the beautiful city of Wrocław.

But, really, can you blame us? It was one hell of an action-packed weekend with bedazzling people, great presentations, amazing lightning talks, and astounding after parties!

Two great presentations I, personally, loved were: "Responsive Web Design" by Nicolas Barrera and "Designing Hypermedia APIs" by Steve Klabnik.

Jan and Georg also made a presentation about some of the most interesting, absurd, or funny insights and moments they've experienced in past couple of years as programmers. Get out of the trap!

Beside the regular presentations lightning talks were presented in the evening. Jan presented Hackerspursuit, a web-driven competition between hackers to show who is the best of the best.

And probably the best lightning talk - "Delete your code" by _tjeden - was presented on the conference! If you use git, don't be afraid to delete your code! Just do it! you do have git history, so don't comment out your code - just delete it!

Wroclove.rb was one of the best conferences we've attended. Great talks, great party, and most importantly, the best people! Without all of you, this event would be nothing! The level of the talks was very high and we had a lots of fun at the after parties. We're looking forward to have a Wroclove.rb 2013 next year.
