---(first)

h1. Camping, a Microframework


---(why)

h1. _Why Camp?

--notes--

* The best way to think about it is PHP for ruby 
* Not an industrial app framework
* Just a simple way to write scripts for the web


---(going)

h1. Going camping

--notes--

* Camping is really easy


---(controllers)

h1. Controllers

<pre><code>
module Nuts::Controllers
  class Index < R '/'
    def get
      Time.now.to_s
    end
  end
end
</code></pre>

--notes--

* Controller _is_ the response object
* Renders the last thing in the method

---(views)

h1. Markaby

<pre><code>
module SomeApp::Views

  # If you have a `layout' method like this, it
  # will wrap the HTML in the other methods.  The
  # `self << yield' is where the HTML is inserted.
  def layout
    html do
      title { 'My HomePage' }
      body { self << yield }
    end
  end

  # The `index' view.  Inside your views, you express
  # the HTML in Ruby.  See http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/markaby/.
  def index
    p 'Hi my name is Charles.'
    p 'Here are some links:'
    ul do
     li { a 'Google', :href => 'http://google.com' }
     li { a 'A sample page', :href => '/sample' }
    end
  end
end
</code></pre>

--notes--

* HTML in Ruby
* You could render erb if you want
* Irrational people hate this stuff, it's like Mac & Windows, or religion. Don't bother.


---(models)

h1. Models

<pre><code>
module SomeApp::Models
  class Companies
    has_many :people
  end
  
  class People
    belongs_to :company
  end
end
</code></pre>

--notes--

* Optional
* Used just like rails, it's the same library


---(issues)

h1. Issues

* Don't trust the errors
* Forget the breakpointer

--notes--

* Eval is used all over the place so a syntax error in your templates can show up as a routing error.


---(future)

h1. Two future uses

* Desktop like apps by web programmers
* Small web apps that mostly mash up existing APIs

--notes--

* A couple of small apps like a wiki and S3 clone
* There's a camping server now, shares the one sqlite db 
* A camping launcher is probably the next step
* Then a camping browser
* The the world


---(s5)

h1. *S*imple *S*tandards-based *S*lide *S*how *S*ystem

--notes--

* A standard file format that's an extension of HTML (microformat?)
* Some javascript to render the show
* It's pretty cool in the sense that's its free, runs on any computer
* It also has the keynote-like second screen feature


---(s5-camping)

h1. S5 goes camping

* Simple Slide DSL
* DCSS support
* Does not modify S5 (probably will in future versions)

  --notes--

  * HTML is verbose
  * DCSS is awesome
  * File Save still gives you a static presentation
  * Need a better name
  * It's a really quick way to prepare presentations, I wrote this in about 45min
  * You presentations can be source controlled and diffed
