Hi folks, It’s NWRUG week which means we will be gathering for some Ruby-based talks and chat this Thursday at Plant NOMA <https://www.plantnoma.com/> from 6:30pm.
This month’s NWRUG is kindly sponsored by the good folks at Cookpad <https://cookpad.com/uk>, who are not only paying for food and refreshments on the night, but are also travelling up from Bristol to share two talks with us. The food (including vegan, veggie and gluten free options) will be available before the talks so do arrive on time if you’d like to partake. Onto the talks: Automate Your Home with Ruby In this talk Karl Entwistle will be sharing his insights and learnings from implementing the HomeKit Accessory Protocol to create a HomeKit accessory in Ruby. HomeKit is a set of protocols and libraries to access devices for home automation. The talk explores some limitations of Rack, decoding binary data with Ruby and an overview of the HomeKit Accessory Protocol. Karl will also live demo a couple of different accessories. Kafka + Cookpad For the past 4 months Lewis Buckley has been busy working on integrating Cookpad with Kafka. Lewis will be sharing some of his insights, tip and tricks in a short presentation, to help you integrate Kafka with a Ruby on Rails application. If you’d like to attend there isn’t much to do: just turn up! But do familiarise yourself with our code of conduct <https://nwrug.org/code-of-conduct> so you know how we roll, and what to do if someone’s behaviour falls short. And if you like that sort of thing, you can signal your attendance over on Meetup <https://www.meetup.com/North-West-Ruby-User-Group/events/vxpqzpyxnbxb/>.
