Last year I held a series of non credit Rails courses for University of Texas Students, i’m happy to announce that i’ve been granted an Adjunct Professor position at the UT and I’m teaching a for credit course in Databases and Rails.

UT on Rails

Lucky for you, i’m a sucker for online learning, so i’ll be putting all my course material online, right here. The Course This Ruby on Rails course is 10 weeks long and assumes you know very little about programming and have not used Ruby, Rails, or Databases previously. The videos are broken up by topic, so if you know one topic you can safely skip that video. Some weeks have exercises and quizes, this is the most important part of the course. I’m taking a fairly non traditional approach to teaching Rails, so even if you’ve been coding for a year or so, you’ll still likely get something out of the course, especially the exercises. Automatic Memory Management. To optimize the performance of the garbage collector, the managed heap is divided into three generations: 0, 1, and 2.

The runtime's garbage collection algorithm is based on several generalizations that the computer software industry has discovered to be true by experimenting with garbage collection schemes. First, it is faster to compact the memory for a portion of the managed heap than for the entire managed heap. Secondly, newer objects will have shorter lifetimes and older objects will have longer lifetimes. Lastly, newer objects tend to be related to each other and accessed by the application around the same time. The runtime's garbage collector stores new objects in generation 0. In reality, the garbage collector performs a collection when generation 0 is full. After the garbage collector performs its first collection of generation 0 and promotes the reachable objects to generation 1, it considers the remainder of the managed heap generation 0.
