Talks & Lightning Talks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

🗣️ Jan Grodowski
▶️ Balancing Quality and Speed of Testing with the Undercover Gem
🗒️ We'll take a look at Ruby test coverage strategies and the variables that come into play when preventing faults in our software products. We'll discuss what makes tests good, what to test versus not to and when is the right time to do it. I'll introduce the undercover Ruby gem and additionally share a few stories about turning this idea and gem into a side hustle.

⚡ Seth Horsley
▶️ Building Beautiful UIs with ruby: A Rails-native Approach
🗒️ Tired of slow ERB templates and messy view logic? Discover how Phlex and RubyUI bring blazing-fast (12x!) and beautiful components to Rails while maintaining the Ruby way we all love. Let's see how we can build modern, accessible UIs without leaving the Rails ecosystem!

⚡ Anton Bangratz
▶️ Jujutsu: Will it replace Git?
🗒️ Jujutsu is a DVCS, or "distributed version control system". You are probably familiar with the biggest of those systems: Git. Jujutsiy is said to be easier and simpler than Git while being even more powerful. In this talk we'll find out if that's true!

⚡ Johannes Daxböck
▶️ Logical, Mr Matz: A Foray into Logic Programming in Ruby
🗒️ Ruby supports multiple programming paradigms, including object-oriented, functional, and imperative/procedural styles. However, it is rarely associated with logic programming. In this talk, I'll explore the concepts and applications of logic programming through its most prominent language, Prolog, and compare them to Ruby. We'll also dive into some Ruby archaeology, uncovering existing Ruby-based logic programming libraries.
