RubyConf 2022 Talk Accepted - Building Native GUI Apps in Ruby

My talk proposal for RubyConf 2022 (Houston, TX, USA / Nov 29 - Dec 1) titled "Building Native GUI Apps in Ruby" has been accepted! It is scheduled as a 30-minute talk on Thursday, Dec 1, 2022 at 1:45pm. Come see it and tell others about it too!

Abstract:

Ruby is an excellent choice for building desktop apps with a native GUI (Graphical User Interface) that looks familiar on Mac, Windows, and Linux. In fact, Ruby pushes the boundaries of developing such apps in brand new ways not seen in web development by supporting very lightweight and declarative GUI syntax including bidirectional data-binding, thanks to Glimmer DSL for LibUI, a gem that won a Fukuoka Ruby 2022 Special Award. In this talk, I will cover concepts like the GUI DSL, data-binding, custom controls, area graphics, drag & drop, MVC/MVP pattern, and scaffolding, with sample demos.
