Ruby on Rails

Hey Guys!

I am a Computer Science student. I know basic programming and Object-Oriented concepts. I have some experience in web development but have no clue about RoR. I wish to learn it. I have installed Ruby 2.2 and Rails 5 on windows. Should I download an IDE? if yes, which one? The tutorials I find are mostly for Linux or Mac. Can anyone recommend some good links where i can get started? I would really appreciate it! 

Sr. Ruby on Rails Engineer 

Outreach

Seattle - WA

What We Do

Outreach is a communication platform built from the ground up to help people communicate more effectively. Today we focus on the sales organization, helping them engage with their prospects and customers through email, calling and LinkedIn communication flows.

To put it into perspective, our customers spend the majority of their day living inside our software, relying on it to be more effective communicators with their audience. We think it's pretty cool that we get to build the communication platform of the future; a product that our users cherish.

Outreach was founded in 2014, and we are now over 80 employees strong. Since our first days learning about how people communicate, we became obsessed with understanding our customers' problems, and as a result, we've built by far the most loved product on the market, and have won the hearts and minds (and business) of some incredible organizations around the world.

In addition to our relentless focus on the customer, we've received over $30 million in venture funding, we've won Seattle Business Magazine's 100 Best Places to Work, and have been ranked #1 for 2016 Sales Automation/Acceleration software by Ambition.

We aren't slowing down any time soon.

Who We Are, Who We Hire

Our company is headquartered in Seattle, but we also have an office in San Francisco and in State College, PA (both for sales and marketing). If you speak to us, you'll probably see that across any geography, across all our roles and departments, at our heart we are a large group of like-minded individuals working towards a common goal, pushing each other to be better tomorrow than we were today.

We're a team of problem solvers and overachievers who seek out others who are also passionate and relentless at their respective crafts. We want to work with people who are ready to buckle up and be a part of an incredible ride. We work hard not because we're told to, but because we genuinely love what we do.

If there's one main message we want you to remember about us, it's that we push others to be best in class at whatever they do, remain humble, and run through brick walls to accomplish their goals. If you come and join us, we'll give you ownership and challenges, and the team support and encouragement to help you hit your personal goals. We'll be stronger together.

The first thing I do with it is this:

if @new_relationships.any?

So it looks like .any? affects the query? I would have thought rails would perform the query, get all the records into @new_relationships, and then count them. This is a surprising feature.

This rails/sql code...

    @new_relationships = User.select('*')
                             .from("(#{@rels_unordered.to_sql}) AS rels_unordered")
                             .joins("
                        INNER JOIN  relationships
                        ON          rels_unordered.id = relationships.character_id
                        ORDER BY    relationships.created_at DESC
                        ")

produces a query that begins like this:

    SELECT COUNT(*) FROM (SELECT .....

Why is it counting the records?? I haven't asked for a count. I simply want to select all columns after the join:

If you are trying to be PCI compliant, then this approach just doesn't cut it. PCI DSS compliance rules apply to anybody who is Processing, Transmitting or Storing card info. Since your server is handling (processing and transmitting) the "banking information" it needs to be inside the PCI 'zone' with all the logging, software requirements physical access restrictions, etc. I'd strongly urge you to NOT do this.

If somebody gains access to your server, they can easily log the request parameters and *bang* you are liable for the data breach, even if you don't store the data. That is basically what happened at Target, where the system sent the card info out of the company until the breach was found.

The easy way to dodge PCI responsibility is to NEVER touch the sensitive data.

It is much easier than it used to be:

1. You render your card info entry screen in the browser, but have the submit button go STRAIGHT to Stripe, Braintree, Authorize.net, etc.
2. When the user submits, the browser sends the PCI data to the payment processor directly.
3. They grab the payment info and do whatever needs doing... then
4. The Payment processor then REDIRECTS the client back to your server with some context so you can match up the client, payment, etc.  
   
5. You get the request from the client and do whatever you need to tell them if it worked or not.

Take a look at: https://stripe.com/docs/security for an overview. And then look at https://stripe.com/docs/stripe.js as an easy way of handling the details.

All the other providers provide similar capabilities -- and if they don't, change provider! I looked by Authorize has moved all the docs around so I grabbed the above from Stripe instead.

We are a Stripe customer and I've been a Braintree and Authorize.net customer in the past.

Good luck,

Brendon.

Have a few cases where it is critically important to flush the output of 'render' immediately.  For example:


 def place_order
  if validate_and_record_order?
   render :text => "OK"
  else
   render :text => "ERROR"
  end
  # DESPERATELY WANT TO FLUSH OUTPUT HERE!
  # Do lots of talking with banks, send out mailers, etc.
 end


Another wrinkle here is we can't store the customer's banking information to run as a deferred task.  Ideally we just want to say 'flush the output' after the 'if' block.  Even if there's an exception after the 'if' we still don't want them to get a 500, we want them to get the OK/ERROR.

The problem we have is the people connecting to our app are sometimes timing out (they have a short timeout) and think the order failed when in fact it was recorded, customer was charged, etc.  I'm a little hesitant about using Thread.new, but perhaps that's the only reasonable way to flush the output early?

btw- This is Rails 4.0.x, Apache+Passenger.

Thanks!


Phil
