[LRUG] Talk proposal

[Najaf Ali]

Hi guys,

Kicking around ideas for a talk for an LRUG meet, would love to know if
there's any interest in something like this.
*
*
*From a raw TCP socket to a Rails application*
*
*
Rails, sinatra and friends do a lot of things to abstract away the details
of handling HTTP requests and making HTTP responses, so I thought it would
be fun to peel away some of those layers and take a look at what happens
under the covers.

In a talk I think I'd go into:

* Very high level overview of TCP connections, a minimum viable web server
with netcat
* Rack applications, middleware, and how they're typically chained together
* How Rails chains together rack middleware to do what it does (i.e.
tracing the code path of a request from class Railtie all the way down to
your apps controllers).

I'm thinking the talk would be 60-70% live coding/code-reading and the rest
talking more generally about how all of the above fits together.

Any feedback appreciated :D
