From O'Reilly Ruby, 8 days ago, 0 comments Comment

My New Year's Resolution for this year is simple: practice. You don't have to achieve (or even aim for) total mastery for the practice to be worthwhile.

Rails application templates, just added in Edge Rails, offer Rails developers the chance to spread their wings and bring Rails to new audiences and new capabilities - and might even help Rails lead the next generation of frameworks.

First Steps into Rails (on the Mac)

From O'Reilly Ruby, 1 month ago, 0 comments Comment

Once you have Rails installed, it's time to explore the foundations of how Rails applications are put together. It's not quite programming yet - it's more looking around to figure out how the pieces fit together.

Installing Rails on Hardy Heron (Desktop)

From O'Reilly Ruby, 1 month ago, 0 comments Comment

There are way too many operating systems and choices within those operating systems to provide a straightforward explanation of installing Rails. To solve that, I'm creating screencasts that show how to install Rails, demonstrating both how to do it and that it actually is possible.

The Perfect Cloud

From O'Reilly Ruby, 2 months ago, 0 comments Comment

We haven't quite found the sweet spot for deploying apps to the cloud; the dependence on traditional databases and relatively complex environments make something like dropping a Pylons app on some random service pretty troublesome.

The Sine Qua Non of the Free Desktop

From O'Reilly Ruby, 2 months ago, 0 comments Comment

Pundits of all kinds love to preach that the free desktop needs this feature or that software to succeed. They may be right for certain audiences, but they often miss the single essential feature which gives free desktops an amazing evolutionary edge.

Testing Rails Partials

From O'Reilly Ruby, 2 months ago, 0 comments Comment

Test Driven Development works best when each test case targets one aspect of a class's interface. So this post will demonstrate a simple and direct way to test a partial without testing the Views, layouts, and Controller actions surrounding it. On very complex projects, this technique keeps your partials decoupled.

Jason Fried of 37Signals on Business, Focus, and Avoiding Interruption

From O'Reilly Ruby, 2 months ago, 0 comments Comment

Jason Fried discusses the day to day operations of 37signals and some of his ideas for minimizing distraction in the workplace. Fried talks about his view that startups should focus on profit and product before accepting venture capital. In this video, Fried's focus on the fundamentals of product design suggest an austerity and simplicity uncommon in an industry suffering from a pandemic of hype.
