Ruby::AZ March 15th, 2016 ActionCable: Realtime the Rails way
ActionCable is the showstopper feature in Rails 5. With it there is now a prescribed Rails way of building realtime apps without the need for external systems or services.
Before ActionCable, most Rails developers implemented Polling, Long-Polling, or used a third party service such as Pusher to get realtime functionality. ActionCable makes implementing realtime in your app even easier than polling.
"If you can make WebSockets even less work than polling, why wouldn't you do it?" - DHH
In this talk, Jeff Nappi will walk us through implementing a chat app step-by-step with ActionCable. The talk assumes experience building apps with Rails, but no specific experience with realtime services or frameworks is expected.
