When front end meets back end or the other way round #hackership

Amazing but true, today I saw Berlin’s sunrise, that means that before 8am sun is just coming out…yes, I said sun!!!, that thing that you don’t see much but miss a lot. So though it was pretty early to head to Betahaus for what was going to be a great talk, it was worth to see the sunrise, blue sky, life looks different when the day starts like this.
By 8:30am I was already at Betahaus, nobody had arrived so decided to go and get coffee and something to eat, back right on time to the talk “Marrying front with back end”. It consisted basically in analyzing the structure of code, how to re-use code, how to define components so that your up can be maintainable in a long-term, all having in mind that front-end and back end should not be considered as complete different things.

Then the rest of the day was to try to get the feeling of how ajax, javascript, jquery work with Ruby and Rails, how to pass data between them, so just did a very simple thing, which of course took longer than expected.

I must say that without my own computer (though very thankful that I could borrow one), knowing that in a couple of days hackership is over, kind of feels that is not the right moment to start a new process of learning, which will need some time, still trying to get as much as possible of what is left.

After hackership went for a beer, nice! just a bit of relax and then go directly to a dinner with Spanish friends, time to celebrate Christmas time, to meet, to know how we are, enjoy before going home for the holidays.
