RailsBridge is free and open to the public, but requires registration via ThunderTix. The RailsBridge event is on July 18th only. Lunch is not included. Tickets to this event do not include entry into the other Training or Conference events.

In this hands-on workshop you will be presented with an actual Rails application ripe with code smells, tight coupling, leaky encapsulation, and missing abstractions. It's much more than a code sample, written by a real team of developers under a deadline. We will practice identifying issues, explore strategies to attack them, and put them into practice. This is not a walk-through of every refactoring in the cannon; this is practical application of great techniques. After this workshop you will be armed to attack your own legacy applications.

In this morning workshop, we will explore techniques and tools to help you decide where to start, and move those first shovel-fulls without triggering an avalanche.

Are you a developer looking to get into Ruby? This hands-on session will cover Ruby syntax and idioms with a focus on things you don't find in other languages. Learn how to how to use language features such as symbols and blocks, take advantage of Ruby's Enumerable module, and build your own classes.

An introductory implementation-focused class on learning the fundamentals of using Zurb Foundation, the world's most advanced responsive framework that's Mobile First.

In this session, we will use a variety of tools and approaches to attack a real world Ruby on Rails application. Through the course of attacking it, we will be exposed to tools and concepts that will inform our development. To the extent possible, participants will be able to follow along and execute command injection to pop a shell on an application box, sql injection to access restricted data, and xss to map an internal network and turn on a users’ webcam.

Tools: BeEF, nmap, arachni, curl

Concepts: Several key classes of vulnerabilities.

This session is a an introduction to the basic architecture of the Chef framework, tools and API. After familiarizing ourselves with the concepts and terminology, we will review cookbooks, recipes and resources and walk through examples that show how it works.

Getting excited about pairing is easy but taking the next step can be a challenge. How do you get started and what does a pairing workflow look like? At Hashrocket we pair on every project as well as our open source contributions. This gives us a unique perspective on pairing. In this session we will discuss the tools and processes Hashrocket uses to pair. We will also guide you through our workflow as we deliver features for our current Hashrocket University project. The session will answer your questions on pairing and give you insight into how Hashrocket has addressed pairing challenges.

In this afternoon workshop, we will attack a small area of sludge and methodically uncover, clean, and polish a piece of code and put each piece in its place in the models, views, controllers, and helpers.

Go beyond the basics with Ruby's dynamic features. Learn about Ruby's object model and how methods are found. Create and use your own modules / mixins. Finish with walk through metaprogramming - understand class_eval and instance_eval, define methods at run time, and use method_missing to handle calls to methods that aren't defined.

Learn how to create an Angular rich client application. We'll showcase best practices, and use working code to build a rich experience app: WalkAbout. Clients will create a mobile web app that plots photos along a path in a city — learn to integrate Authentication, Forms, GoogleMaps, and photos with a Rails API.

In this session, we’ll use a code analysis tool to identify and fix some of the holes that were present in the attack session. We’ll start with a working attack and finish with code that is resistant to that attack. This session will also introduce some things organizations can do at a process level (SDLC) to build more secure code from the start.

Tools: Brakeman, Rails, text editor, Postgres

Concepts: OWASP Top 10

This session continues the "Getting Started with Chef" session with a hands on lab. The class includes hands-on exercises to reinforce the material. At the end of the class, students will have a code repository that can be used and modified to solve real business problems with Chef. Students will be expected to provide an SSH-capable laptop to participate in the exercises.

This afternoon session is a repeat of the morning session, but will include deeper dives into more tools and methodologies for folks who want to spend the whole day with us!
