Be a library developer!

2013-06-01

Description

Is there a gem author around you? Did you meet any author of the gems used? Did you contact with any author of the gems used on the Internet? Do you think that "the author is cool!", "the author is awesome!" or "I respect the author!"? Do you want to be a gem author? This talk doesn't describe about how to create a gem because it is easy. "gem" is a package of Ruby library (, tool and so on) for easy to install. This talk describes about developing a library that is gem content. This talk is based on my experience as a library developer. This talk describes about how to write codes, how to write documents, release, support and mental set for a better "library developer". I hope that this talk is a trigger for increasing the number of better "library developers".

API: Because
Because it's
more Ruby-ish

Ruby-ish?
-ish ==
Similar to others

Is "similar" better?
✓ Similarity makes consistency
✓ Consistency makes readability
✓ Readability is important to
develop better softwares

Is "readability" important?
✓ Readability makes
maintenability
✓ Maintenability is needed for
improving your softwares
repeatedly

So
Ruby-ish is
better

Innovation
✓ Doing "similarly" will not
achieve "innovation"
✓ Should all we aspire
innovation?

No
✓ We have regular life
✓ It's also important that

No

communication

Page: 90

No "imagine"
✓ Show all u need from the start
✓ Don't omit anything
✓ If you emit something,
other people need "imagine"
✓ Use your experience for it!
