I. Introduction

On the 13th of April 2019, the Ruby Development team from ASSIST Software attended Ruby Wine, which was held at Tekwill in Chișinău. Ruby Wine is a one-day event focused on the Ruby programming language as well as Ruby frameworks (Mostly Rails) and different tools.

The event gathered together Ruby specialists and enthusiasts from all over Europe, offering useful presentations, compelling speeches, and meaningful networking opportunities. There was one main track with presentations from 12 speakers as well as a parallel session with an introduction to Ruby and Rails for beginners

II. The Ruby Wine event day

According to Vladimir Pintea, one of the co-founders of the Ruby Wine event, growth is an important theme of this event; growing the developer community, growing the local Ruby community and gaining expertise in Ruby and Ruby on Rails for anyone involved in this conference. 

The presentations at the Ruby Wine event covered a large range of topics, such as the steps involved in a request, writing your own programming language using Ruby, the best ways of organizing a Rails application in order to make it scalable for a large number of users and resources, and how to implement a concurrency solution in Ruby using Fibers.

III. Sincere thanks

Attending the Ruby Wine event in Chișinău was a great experience for the developers in our Ruby team as they had the opportunity to meet and learn from other developers who share the same feelings about the fascinating world of Ruby. This is why we offer our sincere thanks to the event organizers and we look forward to attending their future events

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is ASSIST Software's development process?  

The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) we employ defines the following stages for a software project. Our SDLC phases include planning, requirement gathering, product design, development, testing, deployment, and maintenance.

2. What software development methodology does ASSIST Software use?  

ASSIST Software primarily leverages Agile principles for flexibility and adaptability. This means we break down projects into smaller, manageable sprints, allowing continuous feedback and iteration throughout the development cycle. We also incorporate elements from other methodologies to increase efficiency as needed. For example, we use Scrum for project roles and collaboration, and Kanban boards to see workflow and manage tasks. As per the Waterfall approach, we emphasize precise planning and documentation during the initial stages.

3. I'm considering a custom application. Should I focus on a desktop, mobile or web app?  

We can offer software consultancy services to determine the type of software you need based on your specific requirements. Please explore what type of app development would suit your custom build product.   

  • A web application runs on a web browser and is accessible from any device with an internet connection. (e.g., online store, social media platform)   
  • Mobile app developers design applications mainly for smartphones and tablets, such as games and productivity tools. However, they can be extended to other devices, such as smartwatches.    
  • Desktop applications are installed directly on a computer (e.g., photo editing software, word processors).   
  • Enterprise software manages complex business functions within an organization (e.g., Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)).

4. My software product is complex. Are you familiar with the Scaled Agile methodology?

We have been in the software engineering industry for 30 years. During this time, we have worked on bespoke software that needed creative thinking, innovation, and customized solutions. 

Scaled Agile refers to frameworks and practices that help large organizations adopt Agile methodologies. Traditional Agile is designed for small, self-organizing teams. Scaled Agile addresses the challenges of implementing Agile across multiple teams working on complex projects.  

SAFe provides a structured approach for aligning teams, coordinating work, and delivering value at scale. It focuses on collaboration, communication, and continuous delivery for optimal custom software development services. 

5. How do I choose the best collaboration model with ASSIST Software?  

We offer flexible models. Think about your project and see which models would be right for you.   

  • Dedicated Team: Ideal for complex, long-term projects requiring high continuity and collaboration.   
  • Team Augmentation: Perfect for short-term projects or existing teams needing additional expertise.   
  • Project-Based Model: Best for well-defined projects with clear deliverables and a fixed budget.   

Contact us to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each model.
