[PLUG] Talk on Mruby -- implementation of Ruby for linking and embedding within your applications.

[Gaurav Pant]

Hello Everyone,
This might be of interest so forwarding to the list:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Indian Academy of Industrial and Applicable Mathematics, Pune

(The Mathematics Consortium- Regional Programme)


Speaker: Shashank Date, NURTURE, USA

Abstract: Mruby is a lightweight implementation of Ruby for   linking
 and  embedding within your applications.

These talks  will  show  how  it  can be used on small,  resource
constrained   devices    like    Raspberry  Pi  Zero   and   exploring
   some    techniques   for    memory    and    run-time
optimizations.


Venues:

1. Fergusson College, Pune (Friday, 3rd Feb. 2017)

2. Savitribai Phule Pune University, Pune (Monday, 6th Feb. 2017)

3. Bhaskaracharya Pratishthana, Pune (Tuesday, 7th Feb. 2017)

Time: 4.00 pm to 5 pm

Synopsis:

My talks will focus on  "embedding" aspect of mruby. It will be
targeted towards beginner and intermediate level audience and will
cover the following topics:
1. Compiling mruby and understanding the build ecosystem
2. Embedding and extending mruby (some C programming required)
3. Interfacing mruby with Rapsberry Pi Zero (Raspi-0)
4. Fine tuning mruby compilation to make it run on resource
constrained devices (a bit deeper dive)
5. Comparing mRuby with Crsytal and Lua, other popular languages for embedding
6. Demo of mruby

Beginners should benefit from understanding how and why mRuby is more
suited for embedding. No previous mruby experience needed.
Intermediate audience should get a feel for the mruby API and its
limitations. Finally, I really hope that I will be able engage more
advanced level audience with some memory and compile-time optimization
techniques I have discovered while playing with the language.

I propose to talk for about 40 minutes followed by demo for 10 minutes
followed by Q & A.

The talks will be especially useful to Engineering and Industrial
Mathematics students and teachers.
