March 2017 Meeting
The March 2017 meeting of LRUG will be on Monday the 13th of March, from 6:00pm to 8:00pm (talks start at 6:30pm). The venue, Code Node between Moorgate and Liverpool St. stations, is provided by Skills Matter. Full venue and registration details are given below.
Agenda
After the flurry of February's traditional lightning talks, we're back to the regular format, with three talks for your enjoyment:
Action Cable vs. MessageBus - Live updates tailored for Rails
Comparison between Action Cable and MessageBus for live updates in Rails application. Introduction to both solutions, basic implementation and benchmarks.
The story of the not-so dark magic of application preloading
Many of us use application pre-loaders like zeus or spring, but how do they actually work? Lets step through what is actually going on by the example of zeus.
Dependency Injection with Little Boxes
A brief description of the benefits of dependency injection and how to gain them with Little Boxes.
Afterwards
We aim to finish up the talks and formal part of the meeting by 8pm, but that doesn't mean you have to go home. Why not celebrate our headlong rush towards the vernal equinox by selecting one of two very fine options for winding down the evening and chatting to other LRUG attendees:
- Code Node. Skills Matter run a cash bar with a choice of drinks (hard and soft) available. As well as other LRUG members you can network with attendees of the other meetups that Skills Matter are hosing on the same night.
- The Singer Tavern. This bar is a short walk north from Code Node (you can find it at 1 City Road, EC1Y 1AG). This pub has a decent food menu on offer as well as a selection of drinks and other LRUG attendees to help you while the evening away.
Regardless of what you choose to do, please remember that this part of the meeting is still covered by our code of conduct even though it does seem more informal.
If for some reason you can't make the talks you're still more than welcome to attend this afterwards part. We'd love to see you!
Venue & Registration
Prior to attending you should familiarise yourself with our README paying close attention to the code of conduct which applies to all attendees at the talks and afterwards in the pub.

Registration
To secure a place at the meeting you must register with our hosts Skills Matter. It helps to make sure we have the room laid out with enough chairs, and in extreme cases that we get priority on the larger rooms over other groups using the space on the same night. Also, it's good manners, so please do register with Skills Matter.
