I’m Speaking at MountainWest!

I’m going to be giving a talk at Mountain West Ruby Conf!

For those of you too lazy to scroll down and find the details of my talk, I’ll repeat them here:

Some might think of DataMapper as a better, faster, competitor to ActiveRecord. However, they would be missing on of its greatest strengths. At its core, DataMapper provides a uniform interface on top of ANY persistance layer. All thats needed is a simple adapter class that can translate the native persitance into a simple 4-method API for DataMapper to consume. This talk will cover that API, and some best-practices on implementing an adapter. We will explore the YAML Adapter, which I will be writing for the purposes of this talk.

Wish me luck!

    Hi,

    I saw you were listed at Mountain West, but unfortunately there’s no video. I’m working on DataMapper too, adding the I18n functionalities to dm-validations, and I’m very interested in your subject. Do you have any slides? Are you planning to post about writing adapters? It’s a very interesting topic.

    Cheers, Rafael

    Hi Rafael,

    Thanks for your comment, you reminded me to post about it. My latest post has a link to my talk.

    I am planning on writing a post about it, its in my drafts right now. I’m about to write another adapter, I’m going to use it as a reference for a full-fledged tutorial on adapter writing.
