Tyler Brock - MongoDB & Ruby

This talk explores MongoDB in the Ruby ecosystem. If you're using MongoDB with Ruby, you should first know a few things about the Ruby driver. So in the first part of the session, we'll provide an overview of the driver, show how to use it with replica sets, and cover some common gotchas. We'll talk about some of the advantages of using JRuby with MongoDB and describe the Ruby driver support for that platform. And finally, we'll look at the most popular object mappers in Ruby, adumbrate their respective features, and describe just what to consider before you start using one. Tyler currently works on and maintains the Ruby driver. Prior to joining 10gen, Tyler was the Vice President of Trading and Research at Harvest Volatility Management, a volatility arbitrage hedge fund headquartered in New York. He has also founded and helped create a handful of startups including ReadrBoard and Wander. Tyler holds degrees from Duke University in Computer Science, Economics and Markets and Management.
