Secrets of The StdLib

Talkat Ruby Manor 2: Manor Harder · on Saturday, 2009-12-12· [ruby]
slides:none on file

Shows concrete stdlib hacks: use Forwardable/delegate to forward event.opportunity.organization so event.organization works; use pack/unpack to parse binary protocols (example: read an MP4 atom header by unpacking 8 bytes into length and name); use open-uri and Open3 to treat URLs like files and to interact with subprocesses; use Set to collect unique vowel sequences from words; use pp for readable inspect output; WSDL class generation sometimes works but produces brittle code; use a local ri/docs browser or Charles for debugging.
