Event Driven Architecture

It’s been a year since the previous post and coincidently yet again references SAPO Codebits.The 2010 edition was epic – retro computing, multiple tracks, 50+ presentations, activities and meticulous organization.

I presented Event Driven Architecture, covering some theory, Command and Query Segregation Responsibility (CQRS) and general do’s and dont’s.Also checkout a reference implementation in Ruby (don’t forget to note the caveats in the README which references several shortcomings of CQRS and Event Sourcing with this untyped language).

Dynamic Language VMs – Inside Ruby

I had the opportunity to present at SAPO Codebits this weekend, covering Ruby and scripting VMs in general.

See the session abstract for further details before digging into the slides below.

I’d also like to take a moment and state what a great experience the different tracks, venue, organization, catering, Internet access and entertainment bits was.Well on par, if not beyond, the vast majority of international conferences out there.

At no cost (free, grátis, gratis, gratuit) to attendees.

Bean bags, hammocks, work spaces, huge ass presentation areas, dedicated sound / camera crews, quizzes, projects, soldering workstations and a constant pizza and red bull supply.

A great reflection of the innovation at work inside SAPO and a peek into emerging technologies being rolled out.

I’ll dedicate a few blog posts to cover some Ruby VM sections in detail during the next few weeks if there’s sufficient demand – please leave a comment if that appeals to you.
