When?
Tuesday, 12th February 6:30pm – 8:30pm
Where?
Moores Brecknock Hotel – 401 King William Street, Adelaide.
What?
Two short presentations: ActiveMerchant and Text.
ActiveMerchant
Anuj will run-through the mechanics of ActiveMerchant – a ruby gem enabling your app to perform online payments using most major payment gateways. It’s also quite easy to extend via adapters for unsupported gateways – which Anuj has done for ANZ and Commonwealth Banks.
Text
Adam will demonstrate the usage of some interesting text algorithms. Two particularly useful examples for text searching are soundex (produces a code that is the same for similar sounding surnames) and porter stemming (a method for removing ‘endings’ from English words – useful as part of a term normalisation process).
