Brighton Ruby – Lessons learned from building an open-source Rails engine

Join Brighton Ruby for a talk with CoverageBook’s very own front-end developer, Mark Perkins, on his experience building open source projects with Ruby on Rails. Mark is the creator of Lookbook – a tool that helps developers build, test and document Rails view components.

In this talk, “Playing on the wrong side of the tracks – lessons learned from building an open-source Rails engine”, Mark will share the hard-won insights from creating an installable Rails engine for the open-source community. We’ll explore the unique challenges and gotchas that come with building engines that need to work across different Rails applications.
