It was really great to see so many people attend our presentation. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.

For those of you who weren’t there, we presented how we overcome some of the issues raised by splitting functionality across multiple rails apps, in particular how to make the user interface appear seamless. The slides cover our general approach and then I built a small demo app consisting of 3 applications: a dumb container app, an app containing articles and an app containing comments. These applications are all embedded in a single page (served by the container app). The content app allows you to create articles and the comment app updates its display depending on which article is selected and allows creation of new comments.

As promised, the code from our presentation, along with a few instructions on getting it running, is now available on github. The accompanying slides are also available.

This is a very quick and dirty packaging of the code we demoed last wednesday and we plan to publish something neater, with documentation, examples and so on in the near future. In the mean time have fun and please don’t hesitate to contact us should you have any questions!
