Shopify real-time orders

I actually "worked" on this with the developer - I recently interviewed at Shopify, and one of the interviews is to work with one of the developer on some of their work. I had no Ruby experience, but in an hour I was able to build an app which read the data from an HTTP stream and perform data analysis, decoding etc.

Very awesome to see the final thing in production!

Edit: Of course my work isn't operating here I don't think - it was just a test for me.

Yeah, shopify IS awesome. Too bad it has limited amount of international support and no multi-language support (ie. no checkout localisation).

That $ per hour is almost 3x too low, it's a bug, we're looking into it. edit: fixed now ;)

Looks amazing.

BTW, looking at your javascript source, the style you've used of:

	  var className = (function() {
		function classNameConstructor() {
		  //set properties
		}

		classNameConstructor.prototype.method1 = function() {
		};

		classNameConstructor.prototype.method2 = function() {
		};

		return classNameConstructor;

	  })();

How's that working out? I started playing with it just before I got other projects which have had no significant javascript on them, just was wondering if it's a pattern you think works well?

Totally unofficial statement: It's coming.
