Hello Everyone, This might be of interest so forwarding to the list: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Indian Academy of Industrial and Applicable Mathematics, Pune
(The Mathematics Consortium- Regional Programme) Speaker: Shashank Date, NURTURE, USA Abstract: Mruby is a lightweight implementation of Ruby for linking and embedding within your applications. These talks will show how it can be used on small, resource constrained devices like Raspberry Pi Zero and exploring some techniques for memory and run-time optimizations. Venues: 1. Fergusson College, Pune (Friday, 3rd Feb. 2017) 2. Savitribai Phule Pune University, Pune (Monday, 6th Feb. 2017) 3. Bhaskaracharya Pratishthana, Pune (Tuesday, 7th Feb. 2017) Time: 4.00 pm to 5 pm Synopsis: My talks will focus on "embedding" aspect of mruby. It will be targeted towards beginner and intermediate level audience and will cover the following topics: 1. Compiling mruby and understanding the build ecosystem 2. Embedding and extending mruby (some C programming required) 3. Interfacing mruby with Rapsberry Pi Zero (Raspi-0) 4. Fine tuning mruby compilation to make it run on resource constrained devices (a bit deeper dive) 5. Comparing mRuby with Crsytal and Lua, other popular languages for embedding 6. Demo of mruby Beginners should benefit from understanding how and why mRuby is more suited for embedding. No previous mruby experience needed. Intermediate audience should get a feel for the mruby API and its limitations. Finally, I really hope that I will be able engage more advanced level audience with some memory and compile-time optimization techniques I have discovered while playing with the language. I propose to talk for about 40 minutes followed by demo for 10 minutes followed by Q & A. The talks will be especially useful to Engineering and Industrial Mathematics students and teachers. -- Regards Gaurav Pant -- ------------------------------------------- http://OpenSourceCook.in If you can cook, you can code. _______________________________________________ plug-mail mailing list plug-mail@plug.org.in http://list.plug.org.in/listinfo/plug-mail
