ActiveSupport and ActiveModel

Presenter: Bryan Liles

Abstract

Have you ever wondered what makes Rails tick? Bryan Liles will cover two of the pillars of the Rails foundation: ActiveSupport and ActiveModel. Together we will discover where some of Rails’ ease and power originates and how make use of it in your projects.

Notes

• ActiveSupport gives us pluralization and more, makes ruby better
• Use pry instead of IRB
• include ActiveSupport::Benchmarks, Rails uses benchmark for asset times
• include ActiveSupport::Callbacks
