In this talk, Aaron Krauss goes over the Ruby language and how you can start metaprogramming in Ruby. Ruby is a powerful language but it’s more than just syntax that makes it awesome. Ruby gives you the ability to write some really powerful code that other languages can’t do, things like modifying existing classes, accessing and modifying private instance variables, defining methods, gaining access to defined classes just by a string variable, and so much more, all at runtime! Aaron Krauss is developer at Ruby developer and organizer at OKC Ruby. He's also an avid tea drinker, longboarder, and pun champion. -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/techlahoma
