Working on a Ruby on Rails Project and Some Tips

Posted on the May 19th, 2007 under programming,Rails Ecommerce Project,Ruby on Rails by

I figured I’d update you all on what I am doing, and will be doing over the next few weeks during my “free” time. I am currently spec’ing out a new Ruby on Rails project, and hope to begin coding right after this post. I figured this would be a good chance for me to blog a bit about rails as well as my project progress. I created a new category just for this project (Rails Ecommerce Project), so if you wish to follow it book mark this link: http://burm.net/category/rails-ecommerce-project/ or via the RSS feed http://burm.net/category/rails-ecommerce-project/feed

Ruby on Rails 2.0 and Rails conf 2007

Posted on the May 18th, 2007 under programming,Ruby on Rails by

There are quite a few posts on the keynote @ Rails conf 2007 by David (DHH).

  • > 1 million downloads
  • Hundreds of plugins
  • ~10k people on rubyonrails-talk
  • http://workingwithrails.com/ indicates over 100 countries where people do Rails.
  • IDE: CodeGear, Textmate, NetBeans, JetBrains, Aptana
  • It’s not gonna change everything you know, it’s gonna be humble.
  • No new ‘great’ idea.
  • The experiment worked! (RESTFul resource)
  • The world of resources is a better, greener place.
  • Rails 2.0 will focus more on the REST convention
  • Routes

The above list was taken from: OnRails.org

For those of you working with edge rails, there were some major routing changes. I could not figure out what was going on when I performed a freeze on edge..
Here is why: Changeset 6594 and Changeset 6588 – Hopefully this will help prevent some headaches.
