Double Shot #604
It was a busy weekend. Here's some of the fallout.
- Temple - A plan for a sort of "Rack of templates", a compiler chain to take different types of templates and compile them down to pure Ruby.
- carrierwave - New solution for file uploads in Rails, Merb, Sinatra, or any Rack application.
- Notational Velocity - Super simple note-taking and filing application for OS X.
- Master May I? - A fresh authorization gem designed to work with Authlogic and InheritedResources.
- Safe In Place Editing Plugin - Replacement for the standard Rails InPlaceEditing plugin, with better error handling and support for markup languages.
- dygraphs JavaScript Visualization Library - Spiffy zoomable charts of time series.
- MongoDB 1.2.0 Released - For all you NoSQL types.
- TimeAPI - API to get dates/times via Chronic. Seems fairly insane to depend on an external service for that, though.
- Rock Solid HTML Emails - Good rundown from the co-founder of Campaign Monitor on design dos and don'ts.
- carmen - Country and state selection for Rails, with support for states in 7 countries so far.
- Why I Don't Like Pair Programming (and Why I Left Pivotal) - Good reminder that pairing is not for everyone. I've done pairing in limited circumstances, but there's no way I'd work like that full-time. (I guess that means HashRocket will never hire me, boo-hoo).
