There's a coffee beyond Starbucks and a PaaS beyond Heroku. AND: it's open source and mostly written in Ruby! Meet Cloud Foundry and its infrastructure orchestration companion Bosh.

According to Wikipedia, Twitch-Plays-Pokémon "is a social experiment and channel on the video streaming website Twitch, consisting of a crowdsourced attempt to play Nintendo's Pokémon video games by parsing commands sent by users through the channel's chat room.". I gave this talk at Baruco 2014, in which I explain the story of How I built my own TPP (sort of).

The talk includes technical components like "controlling a computer with JRuby" and "Writing a GameBoy emulator with Ruby".

It has some technical parts, but it's fairly motivational as well.

Content Security Policy (CSP) is as a security concept aiming to prevent XSS and other forms of browser–based attacks right where they happen — in the browser. CSP has been around for a little while but it’s only now that browser vendors are closing in on implementing most of the W3C specification.

This talk will take a look at what CSP is, why it matters and how to use it with Ruby–based web applications.
