Ruby on Rails Programming With Passion

editor — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 13:11:49 +0000

For all the good reasons, Ruby on Rails is fast becoming popular with developers and Web applications deployers. Rails is a Web application structure based on a number of advance philosophies like Convention Over configuration and Don’t Repeat Yourself. On the other hand, the JRuby on Rails presents additional benefit by allowing them to influence the immovability and the consistency of the Java platform. In lieu with this, Sang Shin is offering an online course about Ruby and JRuby which will start on July 15, 2008. Those who will attend this course will not do a real-time webcasting but definitely upon completion of the course, they will acquire all the necessary knowledge they could use to be able to write realistically refined Rails application.

Rails is a jam-packed pile skeleton for mounting web applications that are supported by a database. The developing should be in accordance with the Model-View-Control pattern. Rails is capable of providing a pure-Ruby development surrounding that include the domain model covering the database, the response based on the request sent to the controller and the Ajax in the view. To go online, you just have to add a database and a web server. Practically everyone is already on Rails, which include enterprise organizations, non-profits and even those organizations that are just starting are also inclined to using Rails. Since Rails is all about transportation and communication, it is perfectly compatible to any type of web application.

Joining communities

One the most important tips for Ruby and Rails programmers is to always keep abreast of the latest news, updates, patches, fixes and developments in the Ruby and Rails community. This can be done be joining online discussion boards and forums, as well as mailing and RSS lists that show all the latest developments for the language. Whether a newbie or a veteran, you can always learn new things when you join a community, because there are always people better than you. You can ask questions and wait for people to give you their answers and suggestions. Why try looking for a solution yourself when somebody might have already solved it? It’s an efficient and easy way to learn and get new information.

Ruby is no more

Ruby on Rails is no more, but so is their competitor Merb. They have no combined to become Rails 3:

We all realized that working together for a common good would be much more productive than duplicating things on each side of the fence. Merb and Rails already share so much in terms of design and sensibility that joining forces seemed like the obvious way to go. All we needed was to sit down for a chat and hash it out, so we did just that.

What this will mean in practice is that the Merb team is putting their efforts into bringing all of the key Merb ideas into Rails 3. Yehuda Katz will outright join the Rails core team, Matt Aimonetti will work on a new evangelism team, and Carl Lerche and Daniel Neighman (hassox) will be co-starring the effort to bring all this over. We’ve immortalized the merge with plaque page at rubyonrails.org/merb.

Always give peace a chance, I say.

Hottest Web Developer To Date

editor — Thu, 22 May 2008 13:12:36 +0000

Many doubted his capabilities to the point of calling him arrogant but the 26-year-old native from Copenhagen, David Heinemeier Hansson, proved them all wrong with his Ruby on Rails software. It is structured to help Web developers to be more dynamic. The best part was that the package of tools was released for free. The software is in the market for only a year or so but is has created quite an issue among the multitude of developers and those who take track of the trend in the world of software maturity. What he was able to achieve only proved that through hard work, anybody can shake up the status quo.
