While most developers have internalized \ ;\nthe rules of thumb for designing schemas for RDBMSs\, these rules don 't \;\nalways apply to MongoDB. The simple fact that documents can re present \;\nrich\, schema-free data structures means that we have a l ot of viable \;\nalternatives to the standard\, normalized\, relation al model. Not only \;\nthat\, MongoDB has several unique features\, s uch as atomic updates and \;\nindexed array keys\, that greatly influ ence the kinds of schemas that \;\nmake sense. Understandably\, this begets good questions: \;\n \;\n* Are foreign keys permissible\, o r is it better to represent one-to- \;\nmany relations withing a sing le document? \;\n* Are join tables necessary\, or is there another te chnique for building \;\nout many-to-many relationships? \;\n* Wha t level of denormalization is appropriate? \;\n* How do my data model ing decisions affect the efficiency of updates \;\nand queries? \; \n \;\nIn this session\, we'll answer these questions and more\, prov ide a \;\nnumber of data modeling rules of thumb\, and discuss the tr adeoffs of \;\nvarious data modeling strategies. \;\n \;\nABOUT THE GROUP: The Portland Ruby Brigade is a user group for Ruby programme rs in the Portland Oregon area.

But it's also a language that lends itself to b eing used in other ecosystems\, in other 'worlds'. Ruby is an incredibly useful tool for building DSLs that look more like data than code. It's also a very portable language with a strong\, standardized toolchain tha t makes it a go-to choice for client-side tooling. I'm going to walk thr ough the ways in which we\, as rubyists\, can build systems that coopera te with a non-Ruby environment. \;\n### Ruby Jobs Storytime \;\n5 min talks about people's experiences looking for and finding jobs (and c onversely from the hiring side\, experiences looking for and hiring engi neers for their teams). These talks would probably not need slides\, jus t a person willing to provide their experience. The types of things peop le could talk about include: \;\n \;\n* A new developer’s experien ce trying to get their first programming job \;\n* A seasoned develop er’s tips and tricks for finding and getting a great job \;\n* A stor y about how someone got their job in a non-traditional way \;\n* Info rmation from a hiring manager or engineer involved in hiring about what they look for \;\n* Any other type of story in the same vein \;\n& #13\;\n# \;\n \;\nAfter presentations we'll have more socializing time. \;\n \;\n# Thanks to New Relic for providing the venue and beer\, pizza &\; snacks this month! \;\n \;\n# \;\n \;\n ARRIVING BY BIKE?

But what happens when you can’t? If your code plugs into or extends another gem\, comfortable isolation might be out of the question. Stubbing and carefu l design can carry you a ways\, but eventually you need to actually test your code against those gems you’re building on. Luckily\, there are wa ys to reduce this pain. We’ll dig deep on creating a simple environment to check your work against multiple dependencies. We’ll see patterns tha t help avoid pulling your hair out when those dependencies change. We’ll even search around the raw edges\, examining how to verify what your co de does when it lands in an environment you haven’t tested. There’s a mu ltitude of gems out there to build on. Let’s see how we can test with th em! \;\n### Emily Bookstein: So You Want Diversity in Tech?

A biological approach to architecture \;\nWh en building resilient\, fault-tolerant\, scalable systems\, we focus qui te a bit on the particular technologies involved. Can it scale horizonta lly? Is Samza better than Storm? Is this library thread-safe? It turns o ut that\, even though those questions matter to the stability of the sys tem\, they don’t matter as much as the people building the system. Human s choose the stack\, write the code\, and write the bugs\, too. They cre ate the weird edge cases that cause the system to fall over at the worst time. \;\n \;\nAt New Relic we’ve taken an unusual approach to bu ilding software: we draw heavily from biological metaphors like mutation and natural selection\, and focus on a human-centric approach to define our architecture. Rather than trust a few armchair architects to make t he decisions\, we put the power in the hands of the teams wrestling with the code. We have many strategies to ensure cohesiveness across the arc hitecture and scalability for the business\, the engineering organizatio n\, and the software\, but it takes a little leap of faith and a lot of trust to move to a process like ours. \;\n \;\nI’ll share how our process works\, and how we manage the growth without going off the rails \, while increasing system stability \;\n### Jason Clark - Peeking in to Ruby: Tracing Running Code \;\nYour Ruby app is in production\, bu t something isn’t quite right. It worked locally\, it passed CI… why’s t he running app acting weird? \;\n \;\nIf this sounds familiar\, yo u’re in luck. Multiple tools exist for grappling with a running Ruby app . This talk will introduce a variety of tools and techniques for peeking into what your Ruby app is doing. From Ruby-level method tracing using rbtrace\, all the way down to watching kernel syscalls with strace\, you can see what your app is doing\, and I’ll show you how. \;\n \;\n Don’t let your production system go unwatched! \;\n### Lightning Talk s ⚡️ \;\nThere will be a whiteboard to sign up on arrival (first come first serve). \;\n \;\n# \;\n \;\nAfter presentations we'l l have more socializing time. \;\n \;\n# Thanks to New Relic for p roviding the venue and beer\, pizza &\; snacks this month! \;\n 3\;\n# \;\n \;\nARRIVING BY BIKE?

Join us for peer mentoring\, conversation\, and pizza at 6\, followed by presentations at 7. This month\, Jason Clark o f New Relic will discuss how to tackle the complex testing issues that c ome up when your code needs to be compatible with multiple dependencies. \;\n \;\nFor more information about this and future meetings\, fo llow @TestRubyPDX on Twitter. \;\n \;\n### Testing the Multiverse& #13\;\n#### Jason Clark \;\nIt’s a basic principle of testing that mi nimizing dependencies will make you happier\, faster\, and more producti ve. But what happens when you can’t? If your code plugs into or extends another gem\, comfortable isolation might be out of the question. Stubbi ng and careful design can carry you a ways\, but eventually you need to actually test your code against those gems you’re building on. Luckily\, there are ways to reduce this pain. We’ll dig deep on creating a simple environment to check your work against multiple dependencies. We’ll see patterns that help avoid pulling your hair out when those dependencies change. We’ll even search around the raw edges\, examining how to verify what your code does when it lands in an environment you haven’t tested. There’s a multitude of gems out there to build on. Let’s see how we can test with them! \;\n \;\n### ActiveMocker: Fast ActiveRecord Mock s \;\n#### Dustin Zeisler \;\nTired of a slow test suite in Rails? Hitting the database so often it's getting you down? Is waiting for Rai ls to boot as you do red\, green\, refactor killing your vibe? Wouldn't it be great if your tests ran in milliseconds instead of seconds or minu tes? You may say "\;That's all great\, but I'll have to change the w ay I test and program adding tedious boilerplate\, making my code ugly.& quot\; And I would say\, no! I created ActiveMocker to save my team from just that. You can have nearly all of the benefits by adding one settin g to your test file and with just a little more work you can have full\, glorious\, unadulterated speed. ActiveMocker creates mock classes from ActiveRecord models\, allowing your test suite to run at breakneck speed . This can be done by not loading Rails or hitting a database. The model s are read dynamically and statically so that ActiveMocker can generate a Ruby file to require within a test. The mock file can be run by itself and comes with a partial implementation of ActiveRecord. Attributes and associations can be used the same as in ActiveRecord. Methods have the same argument signature but raise a NotImplementedError when called\, al lowing you to stub it with a mocking framework\, like RSpec. Mocks are r egenerated when the schema is modified so your mocks won't go stale\, pr eventing the case where your units tests pass but production code fails. \;\n \;\n## Thanks to Renew Financial for providing the space and pizza for this event!\n\nTags: ruby\, rails\, testing\, agile\, Cucumbe r\, RSpec\, Test::Unit\, Minitest\, Capybara\, activerecord\, ActiveMock er\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250469343 URL:http://testrubypdx.org SUMMARY:Test Ruby PDX Monthly Meeting LOCATION:Renew Financial: 402 SW 6th Ave. #902\, Portland OR 97202 US SEQUENCE:6 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20151105T192609Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160105T220000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160105T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20151105T192609Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20151208T184220Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250469355 DESCRIPTION:We'll have pizza &\; beer starting at 6pm\, so stop by ear ly if you want to have dinner and socialize before the presentations. 3\;\n \;\n# PRESENTATIONS at 7pm \;\n### Sam Livingston-Gray: Cucu mbers Have Layers: A Love Story \;\nCucumber sucks. Features are hard to write and constantly break when the UI changes. Step definitions are annoying to create and a freaking nightmare to maintain. And Cucumber s uites take for-EVER to run\, because you have to wait for a web browser. \;\n \;\nExcept...

Does one create a new folder within the app directory and introdu ce a new concept to the app? The vendor directory?! Should it go in a ge m? When the conventions of Rails do not cover a concept or approach\, it is difficult to know where to put classes and modules. \;\n \;\nO ver the years\, I have been putting more code in the lib directory. It a llows for more object oriented code composition\, faster tests\, and a c lear path for extraction into gems. Working in a directory with nothing but a "\;tasks"\; directory can be a bit daunting at first\, but soon enough it will start to feel like home. \;\n \;\nIn this tal k\, I want to show the benefits of putting code in the lib directory\, w hen to put code in lib\, how to test code in lib\, how to configure a Ra ils application to use the lib directory\, and common pitfalls to watch out for. There will be plenty of examples\, open source code to referenc e\, and hopefully other folks sharing their experiences with the lib dir ectory. \;\n# \;\n \;\n### Designing by Contract: Using Types to Write Safer Code by Thomas Reynolds \;\n \;\nContracts.ruby is a library which allows Ruby code to be type-checked at runtime. By simpl y providing a type for input parameters and output values\, you can dras tically reduce common\, and hard to track\, Ruby bugs. We will discuss t ypes in a simple\, pragmatic and non-academic way as well as looking at code samples from Middleman v4 which is entirely covered by contracts.&# 13\;\n \;\nAfter presentations we'll have more socializing time. \ ;\n \;\n \;\n \;\n# Thanks to New Relic for providing the venue and beer\, pizza &\; snacks this month! \;\n \;\n# \;\n 3\;\nARRIVING BY BIKE?

This talk will focus around using a Cucum ber/Ruby/Calabash to formulate a single GIT repo for testing both iOS an d Android apps with the same test cases. \;\n \;\n## Embracing --a pi by Mitch Lloyd \;\n \;\nIt's hard to beat the productivity of R ails in the hands of an experienced developer. But what happens when use r expectations drag your server-rendered application into the tortured h ellscape of client-side JavaScript? \;\n \;\nJavaScript creeps in to your once beautiful code base: a typeahead search field\, a client-si de validation\, an AJAX-powered star rating widget. This pathogen has no unit tests and causes the number of bugs and Selenium tests to grow. 3\;\n \;\nIn this talk I'll explore why companies that resist client- side rendering still ship 350KB of gzipped JavaScript to their users. Wi th examples I'll argue that there is a better way: separating your API f rom your client code. This approach that I once reserved for "\;high ly interactive"\; applications\, I now consider "\;a matter of c ourse"\;. For the majority of applications it leads to faster develo pment\, simpler architecture\, and more flexible approaches for building and deploying UI. \;\nAfter presentations we'll have more socializin g time. \;\n \;\n# Thanks to New Relic for providing the venue and beer\, pizza &\; snacks this month! \;\n \;\n# \;\n \;\ nARRIVING BY BIKE?

We tend to not want to think hard about how things could go wr ong. However\, from traditional apps to APIs or ArgumentErrors to NameEr rors\, handling exceptions gracefully is crucial to healthy applications . Let’s take a closer look at the Ruby Exception library and some strate gies for catching and handling errors. We will look at what happens when exceptions are handled too well or not well enough. We will also take a closer look at the types of exceptions you can expect and where you can expect them. Lastly we’ll explore some examples for exception handling and testing in common rails application contexts.\n\nTags: ruby\, pdxrub y\, brigade\, rails\, pdxsw\, pdxstartupweek\, Portland Startup Week\n\n Imported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250475235 URL:http://pdxruby.org SUMMARY:Ruby Tuesday - PDX Ruby Brigade Monthly Meeting LOCATION:New Relic: 111 SW 5th Avenue\, Suite 2700\, Portland Oregon 9720 4 United States SEQUENCE:6 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190501T030629Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190507T210000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190507T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190501T030629Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190501T030629Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250475537 DESCRIPTION:Come out to the CENTRL Office on the Eastside for Ruby Tuesda y. \;\nWe'll have pizza starting at 6pm\, so stop by early if you wan t to have dinner and socialize before the presentations. \;\n*We are at a new venue this month because of construction at New Relic. \;\n* Drinks are BYOB this month \;\n \;\nPRESENTATIONS 7pm-9pm \;\n& #13\;\n- Intro to Scorpio - \;\nScorpio is a ruby library that repres ents RESTful resources\, built around OpenAPI. ~ Presentation by Ethan&# 13\;\n \;\n- RailsConf Rewind - \;\nIf anyone went to RailsConf 20 19\, please share what you learned or point out new resources for the gr oup. \;\n \;\nAfter presentations we'll have more socializing time .\n\nTags: ruby\, pdxruby\, brigade\, rails\, pdxsw\, pdxstartupweek\, P ortland Startup Week\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/12504 75537 URL:https://www.meetup.com/Portland-Ruby-Brigade/events/swvfhpyzhbkb/ SUMMARY:Ruby Tuesday - PDX Ruby Brigade Monthly Meeting LOCATION:CENTRL east: 329 Northeast Couch Street\, Portland OR 97232 us SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190531T000020Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190604T210000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190604T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190531T000020Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190531T000020Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250475692 DESCRIPTION:Come out and socialize with your fellow Rubyists! \;\nPiz za &\; beer starting at 6pm \;\n \;\nPRESENTATIONS - 7pm-8:30pm \;\n \;\nFluent Refactoring - \;\nSam Livingston-Gray will gi ve a presentation about refactoring a gnarly Rails controller method.
