10 Questions That Will Help You Assess Calibre of RoR Developer

By
IFP Media Wire
-

Hence, it is essential to know whether the person is capable of doing the job. Since the goal of the framework is to reduce the time and effort required to build a web application, there is always a burden on the developer and their knowledge of the structure. 

The best way you can hire Ruby on Rails experts is by asking questions based on the framework. 

Given below are some questions you may want to ask in the interview and the answers that show the true worth of an RoR Developer.

The Comprehensive List of Top-10 Ruby On Rails Questions

10 Questions That Will Help You Assess Calibre of RoR Developer1. What is the Strength of Ruby on Rails (ROR)?

Learning a language and understanding what it does are two different contexts. A developer should be able to explain the strength and weaknesses of the language. Given below are some of the points you may expect from an RoR Developer.

  • It has a vast library of tools, functions, and plug-ins, which helps in quicker coding
  • It is readable and straightforward, which makes detecting fault, and debugging easy
  • ROR allows its users to create their custom code for a project and then use it later for another project
  • It is an open-source program and has a helpful community
  • It has some security features built into the framework and enabled by default which makes it secure

2. What do you Know About Rack?

A Developer should not only be able to explain or describe the basic structure of RoR, but s/he should also be able to develop an application through it. As Rack is the underlying technology behind all of the web frameworks, one must surely know about it. You may also ask them to define Rack.

Here are some answers that you can expect.

  • The Rack is a Ruby interface that connects web applications and web servers.
  • The Rack is an architecture that defines a straightforward interface.
  • It is a minimal interface between the webservers which supports Ruby and its frameworks.

3. What do You Think About Ruby Gems?

An RoR Developer should know why Ruby Gems are useful. So, by asking this question, you can understand how they view this function. You should not only ask for their views but instead, ask them how it works and if they can explain the basic structure of it. 

Given are some points an RoR Developer may say for this topic.

  • It is a package manager for the programming language.
  • It is a tool designed to easily manage and distribute gems.
  • It provides a standard format for distributing programs and libraries of gems.

4. How Can You Make an Application Secure?

An RoR Developer must know how to make an application secure as it is a crucial factor. They should understand the importance of security. Here are some questions you may ask for security.

  • Explain the difference between SQL injection and XSS injection.

SQL injection targets databases of websites directly, whereas XSS injection redirects the end-user to a phishing page to easily access all data. 

  • What is the need for HTTPS instead of HTTP?

HTTPS uses TLS to encrypt HTTP requests and hence is more secure. 

  • Explain how to store secure data such as passwords. 

The best way of storing data is by salting and hashing. 

10 Questions That Will Help You Assess Calibre of RoR Developer

5.Tell me About the MVC Architecture.

Since ROR has Model View Controller architecture, a Developer needs to explain it. 

You can expect the following answer.

  • MVC has three interconnected layers
  • This structure breaks the complex systems into a simplified structure
  • It is capable of maintaining and facilitating the decoupling and testing process

6. What do You Know About Active Records?

A good Developer will quickly understand the model part of an application and write the least possible codes in Active Record models. Here are some points the developers may talk about.

  • It is the layer of the system responsible for representing business data and logic
  • Active Record maintains and helps to creates frequently required business objects of a database
  • It provides an interface and binding between the tables in a relational database

7. What Tasks Should You Pay Attention to While Writing the Rails Application?

You cannot give a job to a person who doesn’t know where the attention is needed while writing an application. You can also ask them to write one for you. Here are some essential points that you may expect from an RoR Developer.

  • Attention must be paid to describe and model the domain of the application
  • One must pay attention to specify what can be done in the area and its critical factors
  • Close attention must be paid to the views of the design available from those who have considered the same

8. Explain the Purpose a Few Directories

As the interviewee has a good knowledge of the language, try to ask some questions from the inside of the language. Explained here are two directories and their purpose.

  • App – It is responsible for organizing components in the application, and exact display templates and fills them with the data that belong to a different framework
  • Components – holds tiny self-contained applications that bundle model, view, and controller

9. What is the Role of Garbage in RoR?

A ROR developer should know about the importance and the function of garbage. You might expect the following from the interviewee.

  • It allows the removal of the pointer values that are left behind when the execution of the program ends
  • Garbage allows the programmer to focus on other things instead of tracking dynamically created objects during runtime
  • It provides a provision to remove the inaccessible objects from the storage for other processes to use it

10. Can You Make or Rework a Program?

In the end, you can ask developers to make a specific program. It can help you understand if they can provide practical results. Check the following, though.

  • The program should be able to update or delete tasks
  • Comments can be added to a task
  • Able to mark a task as done

You can also hand a program to the developers and ask them to improve the program. 

Conclusion

Whether you want to hire a ROR developer, or need to hire Python experts, you must ask the right questions. Moreover, having a hub where you can find a lot of developers will help you acquire the RoR Developer for your need.

Critics of Turkey’s Hagia Sofia Decision Fail to Recognize a Successful Compromise

The Pope said he was “saddened” by the news. The United States likewise chose a low-key response, with a State Department spokesperson saying the US was “disappointed” by the decision. The Geneva-based World Council of Churches – made up of both Protestant and Orthodox Churches – used the terms, “grief and dismay”. Matteo Salvini, the leader of Italy’s far-right League Party, led an angry protest in Milan and demanded a halt in aid funds to Turkey. A look at a news websites list might lead one to think the Hagia Sofia was scheduled for demolition.

The international furor reported by the global media over a July 10, 2020 Turkish court ruling that annulled a 1934 cabinet decree was predictable, and yet regrettable. True, the decision by Turkey’s highest court does allow for the edifice to be used as a mosque, but those who are sad and or angry may want to consider how Turkey says it intends to implement the plan.Critics of Turkey’s Hagia Sofia Decision Fail to Recognize a Successful Compromise

Now known as the Hagia Sophia, the 1,500-year-old building was completed in 537 CE under the reign of the Eastern Roman –or Byzantine – Emperor Justinian the First. The magnificent edifice originally served as an Orthodox Christian basilica, then briefly as a place for Catholic worship before being converted into a mosque following a decisive victory in 1453 CE by Ottoman Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror who – at the age of just 21 – defeated Constantinople’s Orthodox Christian defenders, took the city, and ended the Byzantine Empire.

The original conversion of the basilica into a mosque did involve the destruction of certain Christian artwork, icons and symbols. Such were the times. Today, however, fears of “desecration” or “cultural destruction” are unwarranted as Turkey’s governing party, the Justice and Development Party (AK) has clearly stated its intentions; a compromise between the apparent will of Turkey’s overwhelming Muslim majority, the Turkish legal system, and the needs and wishes of the international community and other faith traditions.

No demolitions will occur. Rather, Christian mosaics, art and icons at Hagia Sophia – or the Great Mosque of Ayasofya – will simply be covered during prayer when used for Islamic prayers. The conversion plan could even apply some 21st century creativity, with Al Jazeera news reporting the possible use of lasers to cover mosaics and other Christian iconography. An announcement from the AK Party’s Omer Celik further stated that Christian icons and artwork would then be uncovered, and the building is to be open to all visitors of all faiths at all other times, with admission free of charge.

No removals. No permanent alterations. Continued access to all – except during its use as a mosque. These conditions hardly seem unpalatable and certainly don’t represent some kind of Islamic fundamentalist “take-over” of this UNESECO World Heritage Site.

It’s somewhat understandable that those who follow the faith of the original builders of the Hagia Sofia – Greek Orthodox Christianity – would be the most dismayed. But history isn’t stagnant and the building was used exclusively as a mosque from the Ottoman conquest until 1935. For closing in on 500 years, the former city of Constantinople (today, Istanbul) has been home to a predominately Muslim population. At least 95 percent, if not higher, of the people of the nation of Turkey overwhelmingly adhere to Islam. Polls reveal that over 73 percent of Turks back the plan to covert the museum into a mosque.

When a government manages to find a “middle way” that satisfies the desires of the majority, while simultaneously allowing minorities a high degree of satisfaction, it should be applauded, not condemned. Such “truce-like” compromises are rare and represent a good example of how nations and peoples can move towards tolerance in the contentious worlds of religion and politics.

Critics of Turkey’s Hagia Sofia Decision Fail to Recognize a Successful Compromise

Set aside the debate in the west over whether Turkey’s AK Party under President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is moving away from democracy. That is not the issue at hand. It’s perhaps a debate worth having, but so are other questions, such as whether the west – and many international news outlets – should respect the wishes of Islamic voters, even if the government voters choose is not considered “sufficiently liberal” by nations in Europe or the United States.

The debate today is about the Hagia Sofia. If the Turkish government adheres to its stated plan to allow open access to all at all times except during its use as a mosque and merely covers the icons of other faiths during Islamic prayers and uncovers them for pubic viewing thereafter, a unique compromise will have been achieved; the kind of compromise many can only dream of occurring in other self-professed “democratic” states.

Tehran Police Seize 750 Coins Dating Back to 3,000 Years Ago

A 70-year-old father and his two sons residing in a province neighbouring Tehran had formed an antique dealing ring with two others to sell golden antiques and ancient coins, said General Keivan Zahiri, commander of an Iranian Police department tasked with prevention of crimes.

He said the Police raided a place where the dealers had arranged an appointment to sell a number of 3,000-year-old coins on July 14 and arrested the wrongdoers.

The father and his sons had found a treasure of coins dating back to 3,000 years ago with metal detector and had plans to sell them to a customer in Tehran, the commander noted, saying the cops have found 750 antique coins, three coin albums, an ancient book, and a series of excavation equipment from the whereabouts of the ring.

All of the objects and antiques confiscated in the operation have been handed over to the cultural heritage centres for pricing and six convicts have been also handed over to the Judiciary for trial, General Zahiri added.

How Does VoIP Benefit Your Small Business?

How Does VoIP Benefit Your Small Business

So, if you want to stay relevant in your industry, you’ve just got to embrace technology in its various forms.
And one of its leading forms at the moment is VoIP.

VoIP

VoIP stands for “Voice over Internet Protocol.” Simply put, it is communicating through voice medium over the internet as opposed to the standard PSTN / telephone fixed lines that have been in place for centuries. VoIP technology is available in hardware form where handheld devices are there with internet connectivity, and also, they are available as a software application to be used in laptops/computers. VoIP works by converting the sound signals / telephonic conversation into small packets of data and then sending them over the internet to a central cloud database. It works just like an email, but instead of words, data is being transferred in the form of voice.

It is a widespread misconception that VoIP is only feasible for big business enterprises. On the contrary, it is a great technology tool, well-suited to both small and large enterprises. VoIP provides multiple benefits which are not limited to the scale of the business. Following are some major advantages of incorporating VoIP in your small business: –

Cost-Effectiveness

Traditional phone lines have their fixed cost of copper wires installation, setup charges, and running monthly costs. The expense increases with its use. In contrast, VoIP technology enables us to communicate via the internet, which is essentially free because we are using Internet services in our homes and business in one way or another. There is a study that has found that by implementing VoIP technology, the overall costs of calls can reduce by up to 40%.

International calls cost the most when using traditional phone lines. VoIP is free all around the globe. There are less hardware charges, and if you are not willing to pay them even, software applications are available. Features like teleconferencing and video-conferencing are available when you use VoIP services. This mostly eliminates the need for physical interaction with the employees and therefore cut some essential costs.

Easy to setup

The shift to VoIP technology is much easier than being perceived. The switching costs are almost minimal. It is a simple plug-and-play service which could be benefited from. Its maintenance is easier as the hardware is less prone to damage as against the traditional phone technology. There are companies like Nextiva which provide easy software solutions, on-spot training, and services for VoIP, so even the most common person can grasp and understand its use.

Secure

As compared to traditional phone lines that are subjected to an increased risk of insecure lines for any misuse, rerouting of confidential conversation, VoIP places standard encryption protocols which enhance the overall security for any business.

Enhanced Features

When we used traditional phone services, the maximum benefits we could get were call forwarding, call waiting, and call hold. But in addition to these services, a VoIP business phone service like Nextiva will provide you with more important features such as multi-conferencing, video-conferencing, instant messages delivery, and even call routing. This means that a person will never miss a call as long as he is connected to the internet. The calls can be routed to his phone. This highly increases individual productivity.

But that’s not even all; VoIP allows you have faxes and voicemails directly into your Email Inbox. These services were present before but additionally charged by the companies. Now they all come with the VoIP service itself.

The way of Future

Small businesses need to very efficiently and effectively to compete with bigger farms. As they have already shifted to VoIP, there is no point that small businesses should lag behind. Not only voice quality has matured enough in VoIP, but all its cons are being addressed now for future use.

VoIP technology can be scaled to your use and demand. It gives multiple and cost-effective functions to have the same level of communication as others. It eliminates the operating cost so all the savings can be put into use in another productive manner for the company. With increased productivity, the brand image could be enhanced, customers can be retained, and small businesses can progress in the most effective manner.

MPs May Oblige Iran Gov’t to Stop Implementing Additional Protocol

Mahmoud Nabavian said on Saturday that the motion to cease Iran’s voluntary implementation of the Additional Protocol has been submitted to the Parliament’s presiding board.

He said the plan is going to be discussed at the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission and other relevant commissions.

According to the motion, the government will be obligated to suspend the voluntary implementation of the Additional Protocol and to approve and carry out the inspections “only under the Safeguards” agreements, the lawmaker added.

Nabavian further noted that the purpose of the motion is to give the Islamic Republic the “upper hand” in the face of the International Atomic Energy Agency’s inspections of the nuclear sites, military centres, and sometimes the universities of Iran.

Iran should have a weapon in confrontation with the US sanctions, he stressed.

In September 2019, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said the country was ready to pursue ratification of the Additional Protocol in the Parliament provided that the US Congress endorses the 2015 Iran nuclear deal and lifts all anti-Tehran sanctions.

Iran Sends Ukrainian Jetliner’s Black Box to Paris

Speaking to Etemad daily on Saturday, Deputy Foreign Minister for International and Legal Affairs Mohsen Baharvand said the black box of the Ukrainian airplane was taken to Paris on Friday by the officials from Iran Civil Aviation Organization and an Iranian judge.

The process of analyzing the black box data will begin on Monday, the diplomat added.

He also expressed gratitude to the government of France for close cooperation with the Iranian delegation carrying the flight recorder.

Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 (PS752) was a scheduled international passenger flight from Tehran to Kiev operated by Ukraine International Airlines (UIA).

On 8 January 2020, the Boeing 737-800 operating the route was accidentally shot down by the IRGC Air Defence shortly after take-off from Tehran’s Imam Khomeini International Airport. All the 176 passengers and crew were killed.

According to Iranian officials, 146 passengers used an Iranian passport to leave the country, 10 used an Afghan passport, five used a Canadian one, four a Swedish one, and two used Ukrainian passports.

The Ukrainian government, however, says there were 82 Iranians, 63 Canadians (mostly Iranian-Canadian dual nationals), 11 Ukrainians, 10 Swedes, 7 Afghans, and 3 Britons on the plane.

Foreign Airlines Resuming Flights to Iran Proves Its Airspace Safe: Official

Deputy Director of Iran Civil Organization for Aviation and International Affairs, Morteza Dehqan, has pointed to the resumption and a gradual increase of flights operated by the foreign airlines to Iran.

He said Tehran has held a series of negotiations with the European Union Aviation Safety Agency and a number of European countries to allay concerns about the safety of Iran’s airspace and assure them of security of the Iranian sky.

“The return of international airlines to the country after the crisis caused by the coronavirus is a sign of the positive measures and the security and safety of the Iranian airports and airspace,” Dehqan added.

His comments came after the EASA issued a warning on Thursday that civilian aircraft flying in Iranian airspace may be at risk for accidental targeting of the air defence, similar to the accidental shootdown of the Ukrainian plane in January.

Dehqan said the recent warning was not anything new and was a renewal of an advice of caution issued last year, extended until January 16, 2021.

The official finally highlighted the strict plans to carry out the health protocols in Iran’s civil aviation industry to contain the spread of COVID-19, saying careful and constant inspection of the airports and airlines is being conducted.

Some 25 Million Iranians Have Contracted COVID-19

President Hassan Rouhani said on Saturday around 14,000 Iranian have lost their lives to the disease, too, based on the same report.

“It is likely that another 30 to 35 million people are prone to contract the disease as well,” he added.

“The report says we should expect the number of people who will refer to hospitals in the future [due to the coronavirus outbreak] will be twice that hospitalized over the past 150 days,” he said, referring to a second peak of the disease.

“Until the end of this [Persian] year (ending March 20, 2021) and probably till the beginning of the next [Persian] year, we may be grappling with this disease,” he said.

The president said enough medical equipment and treatment services should be provided to tackle the second surge in COVID-19 infections.

President Rouhani also expressed concern over the risk posed by asymptomatic patients.
Elsewhere in his remarks, the president said “economic resilience” should be maintained in the country amid the coronavirus outbreak and production of items needed by people should continue.

He also urged authorities not to stir up anxiety in people.

He finally gave assurances that “we should not back down in the face of the disease as we will definitely win in the battle against the disease.”
