Level UP
your Ruby
by Salman Ansari
ABOUT ME
- I am a walking ad for United Colors of Benetton
- I did the startup thing (involver) in San Francisco
- I moved to NYC after Oracle acquisition
- I teach Ruby classes (e.g. BEWD @ GA)

- I'm obsessed with Halal Cart (chicken & rice)
- I'm not related to Aziz Ansari
TODAY's EXERCISE: Auto Link
- We'll build functionality to auto-link Twitter handles
- Pretend that this is a pair programming session:
- Ask questions!
- Suggest alternatives
- Participate
- Focus on the how, not the what.
- The functionality is trivial, but it's the implementation that matters.
REVIEW
- Don't be afraid to experiment (and fail)
- Learn from the code around you
- Always ask: "Can we do it better?"
THANKS!
