Über den Vortrag
Metaprogramming is the dark art to make that lazy bum of a computer do all the programming for you. Ruby proves to be highly flexible when it comes to molding the language to the problem - this allows to massively reduce redundancy and keep the code DRY. (DRY == Don't Repeat Yourself).Topics covered:
- Why LISP only _looks_ weird
- How to use Metaprogramming in Ruby
- What the hell's an internal DSL? (hint: no, it's got nothing to do with wires or phone lines).
What you'll take away:
- How to use declarative programming in an imperative programming language.
- Why Ruby makes Metaprogramming easy and possible.
- Style tips for Ruby Domain Specific Languages (DSLs).
