A Fresh Cup is Mike Gunderloy's software development weblog, covering Ruby on Rails and whatever else I find interesting in the universe of software. I'm a full-time Rails developer and contributor, available for long- or short-term consulting, with solid experience in working as part of a distributed team. If you'd like to hire me, drop me a line. I'm also the author of Rails Rescue Handbook and Rails Freelancing Handbook.

Double Shot #434

DateMonday, April 20, 2009 at 12:02AM
Busy weekend leads to lots of Monday links.
  • This Week in Edge Rails - Even if you don't normally read TWIER, this edition has some info on the state of the Rails 3 codebase.

  • Strongbox - Public key encryption for Active Record attributes. (via Thoughtbot)

  • Firediff - Firebug extension that tracks real-time changes to the DOM and CSS of a page.

  • GitHub Developer Site - The new GitHub API appears to be quite comprehensive. There's a start at a ruby interface for it.

  • backports - Library bringing various bits of Ruby 1.9 to Ruby 1.8.x.

  • YAAC - Another YAML-based configuration class for Rails.

  • An overview of modern SQL-free databases - I'm still not feeling compelled to switch to a nonrelational database myself, but lots of people are playing with these things.

  • Ruby 1.8.7-p160 and 1.8.6-p368 released - Bugfix time. I don't know that anyone has tested Rails with these yet.

  • Why Programmers Suck at CSS Design - Together with some advice for doing it anyhow.

    YACC is actually YAAC, and thank god for that. That would've been confusing ;)

    Indeed, that would be confusing. Fixed, thanks.

    Firediff looks nice. I'll give it a try. Thank you for recommending that.

    P.S. Sometimes "possibly related posts" are quite odd, aren't they? :)
