Build a Better PostgreSQL Driver: Ruby-pg
Jeff Davis
Talk Type:
45-Minute Talk
Description:
This talk is for application developers who need a richer interface, or community members who want to contribute PostgreSQL and their language of choice at the same time.
Using ruby-pg as an example, I'll discuss: interacting with the application developer community, programming style, how to offer the incredibly rich feature set of libpq in a matching style, making application developers want to use PostgreSQL, and getting the code distributed.
Biography:
I'm the DBA for Laika, Inc., a movie studio in Portland, OR.
I've been a PostgreSQL user since 1999, and my first major patch to PostgreSQL was accepted for version 8.3.
