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 #926

It's amazing how quickly a calendar can fill up.

  • Cheddar for iOS is Now Open Source - Just in case you'd like to see some real-world sample code, and perhaps fix a few bugs.
  • Prism - New lightweight code highlighter in JavaScript with a plugin architecture.
  • And then the music stopped - Ruminations on the current "this time it's different" nonsense. Get a real job if you don't have one already. With, you know, a company that has a sustainable revenue stream.
  • SideTap - Framework for platform independent mobile web interfaces.
  • Master Space and Time with JavaScript FAQ - Noel Rappin taks about his new ebook, which works with jQuery and Backbone (and others) in a test-first manner.
  • Is It Live? - In-depth look at the streaming functionality that just landed in Rails 4.0.

Hi Mike, I found interesting your transition to Ruby. I do not have experience in Ruby at all. I am working with VB at this moment, and sometimes with C#. Also, I know that learn a new language is part of it a bet. Do you think that switching to Rails is a good move if you want to explore a new language and find a job that uses it.
