LittleBIGPlanet is kind of an open source game creation engine for the PlayStation 3. There are two very important things we can learn from it:
* Creative problem solving
* Code reading
Those are some of the strongest weapons in the programmer’s arsenal and we all need to make sure we are employing them regularly. I’ll prime the pump by taking you on a tour of some of the most creative LittleBIGPlanet levels–err, Ruby projects–out there. Let’s see how the pros build servers, communicate between processes, process data, optimize code, and more. This turns out to be a double-win as you will become more familiar with other projects you might be able to make use of while you are learning handy techniques to use in your own creations. Jolly great, eh?
A PlayStation 3 is optional for attendees of this talk.
