The week started out with a bang: I completed the first draft of Getting Started with Rails and got started on a new client project as well.


  • Rails Migrations Cheatsheet - A compact guide, available in either HTML or PDF.

  • Announcing follow cost: Is that Twitter celebrity worth the pain? - According to this tool, following me results in much pain.

  • Blank: A Starter App for r_c and shoulda Users - Another attempt at a Rails starter app with all the trimmings. (via RailsGuts, Blank)

  • suprails - Early days yet, but worth watching: the plan is to create a configurable Rails application generator driven by its own little DSL.

  • Life in the fast lane - Thoughtbot introduces Pacecar, a plugin to generate a whole bunch of named scopes for you.
