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 #651

Deadlines are raining on me like snowflakes lately.

  • VersionControlTools - Somewhat rambling evaluation from Martin Fowler. It's interesting that he chooses git, Mercurial, and svn as the only three to recommend despite plenty of experience with the more "enterprisey" tools.
  • Icons Etc. - Another big pile of royalty-free icons and images.
  • Rails/jQuery UI sortables with single UPDATE query - Simple tutorial from Henrik Nyh. The SQL is MySQL-specific, but it's easy enough to write a workable method if you're on a different database.
  • Smooth Devoperations: Deploying Rails 3 with Moonshine - The Rails Machine guys are committed to making Moonshine work well with Rails 3 while keeping Rails 2 support. Good news all around.
  • Rails 3 Upgrade Handbook - Sign up for notification when this one comes out. Jeremy McAnally has already done some great Rails 3 blog entries, so this should be super-useful.
