​​Ruby on Rails Meetup: November 2024

​Wayback Machine: A Look Back at Ruby and Rails' Forgotten Gems - Luke Cassar

​Take a walk down memory lane as we explore the gems, frameworks, and patterns that once promised to simplify the Ruby and Rails development experience. In this talk, we'll revisit some of these forgotten solutions and why they fell out of favour.

​Luke Cassar is a software engineer with 10 years or experience developing rich, fully functional web applications - all while trying to avoid Javascript and anything too low-level or ops-y.

​Building a Real-Time Conversational AI App for MND Using Ruby on Rails - Alexander Cohen

​Join us for an insightful session where Alexander Cohen will take us behind the scenes of building an AI-powered communication app designed to help individuals with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) who have lost the ability to speak. This project combines the power of Ruby on Rails, real-time communication, and AI-driven customisation to create an accessible and intuitive experience for users.

​In this talk, Alexander will share the challenges faced, the tech stack used, and the solutions developed to create a seamless, natural conversational experience in real time. Whether you’re interested in learning more about leveraging AI in Rails applications, real-time communication with Turbo Streams, or contributing to impactful tech solutions, this meetup is for you.
