SUMMARY:Building a Mini-Google: High-Performance Computing in Ruby
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Ilya Grigorik (igvita.com). Let's build a mini-
 Google and compute the PageRank score for a 1-million page web – that's 
 a non-trivial challenge! High performance computing may not be Ruby's st
 rength, but we will investigate the available gems, tools, and algorithm
 s which make this a tractable problem (spoiler: it's possible).

SUMMARY:Art of the Ruby Proxy for Scale, Performance, and Monitoring
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Ilya Grigorik (igvita.com). A high-performance 
 proxy server is less than a hundred lines of Ruby code and it is an indi
 spensable tool for anyone who knows how to use it. In this talk we'll di
 ssect three real-world examples: live A/B performance testing, extending
  functionality of existing applications, and real-time traffic analysis 
 and performance monitoring. We'll implement each example using Ruby Even
 tMachine framework.

SUMMARY:HTTP's Best-Kept Secret: Caching
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Ryan Tomayko (GitHub). HTTP's basic caching mec
 hanisms have been around for almost a decade and still their advantages 
 and limitations are still not well understood. In this talk, we provide 
 a clear and simple explanation of how HTTP caching works, put forth a sy
 stem for classifying response cacheability, and argue that HTTP caching 
 should be a fundamental aspect of resource design.
