Engine Yard, Inc.

Site disruptions happen, often when you least expect. When your business depends on application uptime or access to critical data, a strategy for high availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR) is essential. Carefully considering how to architect and successfully implement an HA and DR strategy helps ensure that you minimize risk, strengthen fault tolerance, and rapidly re-deploy your application and data in case of a disruption.

Watch this 30-minute presentation from Sal Cardello, Matt Dolian, and Avrohom Katz of the Engine Yard Professional Services team.

You will learn:

• An overview of HA and DR
• Best practices for designing and implementing an HA/DR strategy

If you are building a new application today you are likely considering a move to the cloud. If so, you should take a careful look at Platform as a Service. Using a PaaS makes it fast and easy to deploy and run high-impact applications by relieving the developer from having to integrate, configure, test, and maintain the platform-level software necessary to run applications. It will also improve your uptime, help you scale with your business and can even save you money. To learn more, watch the on-demand webcast.

You Will Learn

• How the major Rubinius components work together
• Differences between Rubinius and MRI
• Options for deploying applications on Rubinius
• How to use the Rubinius tools to accelerate Ruby development
• How to use Rubinius on Engine Yard AppCloud

If you have been working in Ruby for awhile or are just getting started, there are countless decisions ahead of you. While MRI is the standard, have you tried using JRuby or Rubinius? Join Dr. Nic Williams, Nick Sieger, Brian Ford & Aaron Patterson for a jam-packed interactive session. Here’s your chance to learn what’s new and decide for yourself which platform is right for your next project.

If you have been considering jumping over to Ruby on Rails, this virtual class will cover all the advantages that Rails has to offer. By the end of the session, you will know and understand how to build a Rails application and be well on your way to joining the robust community of Rails Developers.

Chad Pytel will provide an overview of some of these common mistakes as well as take questions from the audience and provide real-world advice. Bring your issues and get expert advice on how to bring your code in line with today’s best practices.

Join Dr. Nic Williams as he shares how easy it is to load Rails on Windows machines using Rails Installer. He will field your questions on anything from getting started to mastering the art of Ruby on Rails development.

This webinar will teach you how to:

• Get started with Rails on Windows in just a few minutes
• Create your first Rails application
• Store your application source code on GitHub
• Next steps to deploying on AppCloud

Get a taste of what Ruby, Rails and JRuby can do to make your life easier as a Java developer.

Debutting Ruby Systems
The webinar covers how to use powerful tools to see how your code is executed, so you can understand, debug and optimize it. Each tool will be presented with a variety of real-world examples of how it was used to solve problems in a popular library or application. The talk will cover techniques that can be used to troubleshoot production ruby deployments from three perspectives:

• The operating system and process
• The C code VM
• The Ruby code in application itself

We will also be covering the following tools: lsof, strace, tcpdump, perftools, perftools.rb, ltrace, ltrace/dl, grb, grb.rb, bleakhouse, memprof, and rack-perftools_profiler.

We invite you to join Wesley Beary, creator of fog and Engine Yard engineer, to learn how fog can help you move your app between more Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) technologies to prevent potential vendor lock-in. Fog is the ideal library to replace the use of IaaS specific-libraries because it ensures applications are deliberately independent from an IaaS vendor before they are deployed or migrated to the Cloud.

Learn how using JRuby to run Rails applications on the JVM opens a whole new set of possibilities for deployment, monitoring, and troubleshooting.

Learn how Bundler can help you develop Rails applications faster (and with less pain from your dependencies).

Learn about about Rubinius 1.0 and what it could mean for your development projects including the performance gains it can offer as well as tips and tricks for taking Rubinius for a spin.

Yehuda Katz, Rails core team member and Engine Yard engineer details the most important attributes that Rails has to offer when building mobile applications.

Carl Lerche, Rails core team member and Engine Yard engineer highlights key changes and new components in Rails 3 to demonstrate how developers can utilize these features to streamline development and boost productivity.
