[ANN] Sheffield Ruby 59 - GOV.UK development insight - 13th October 2014

[Eve Barabas]

Hello all, 

Want to know how Ruby is used in the public sector?

David Heath will tell the story of the development and evolution of the GOV.UK Departments and Policy publishing tool (codenamed "whitehall"), a large rails monolith developed under significant time pressure. He'll outline some of the key decisions, challenges, mistakes and learnings acquired along the way. You can expect some musings and reflections on approaches to testing and software architecture and maybe some hawaiian shirts.
