Double Shot #821

Some links from the part of the weekend that I didn't spend out in the woods.

• Coffee Taster: An Easy CoffeeScript Development Environment for Ruby Developers - Run a rake task, open a file in the browser, edit.
• Sidekiq::Mailer - Send mail in the background using Sidekiq.
• Codo - YARD-like documentation generator for CoffeeScript.
• Gitbox - Git GUI client that looks like Mail; an interesting rethinking of a SCM user interface.
• Weave - Interesting looking open source visualization platform oriented around displaying geographic datasets.
• Ruby Doc App and Rails Doc App - A pair of free iPhone/iPad apps to keep handy while you code.
• Debugging JavaScript - Early peek at the next round of js debugging features in Firefox.
• Today's sysadmin todo list - All too true.
• The Julia Language - New "high-level, high-performance dynamic programming language for technical computing." I'm waiting for Julia on Jalopies myself.
• FrontendServer - Simple server for developing JavaScript front-ends, set up for both local use and deployment to Heroku.
• Lazy Routing Helper Generation for Named Routes - Defers generation of routing helpers under Rails 3 until they're actually used.
• How key-based cache expiration works - Worth reading if you're not familiar with Rails' caching strategy. Comments also have some interesting caveats and links.

Hey Mike,

Thanks for linking to Coffee Taster. I appreciate it and hope you found the project useful.

Gitbox also lets you see git repos kind of like they are RSS feeds. My github news stream is often too flooded for me to keep up; but each project is easy to follow in gitbox.

Whoa, the RubyDoc and RailsDoc apps are awesome.
