We now return you to our regularly scheduled program of linkage.
- LiquiBase - Open source database refactoring tool that can handle MySQL and PostgreSQL among others.
- Four Words for Microsoft - Tim Bray weighs in on Microsoft’s most recent FUD salvo with reasonable eloquence.
- CodeGear Unveils First IDE for Agile Ruby on Rails Web 2.0 Development - The former Borland IDE team gets into the act by announcing a new cross-platform IDE due to ship the second half of this year. I predict that some people will see this as the beginning of the end for Rails (”Oh no! The barbarians are coming!”)
- ActiveWarehouse 0.3.0 Released - Looks like this OLAP framework for Rails is moving right along.
- Swiftiply - New clustering proxy for Web applications that includes Mongrel support. (via Ruby Inside)
- an introduction to RSpec - Part I - Along with an introduction to BDD in general.
- How to deploy a self contained Rails application on Tomcat, painlessly! - I hope this never happens to me, but if you’re sneaking Rails into the enterprise it may be your only hope. (via Ruby Inside)
- Hi, I’m Ruby on Rails - Lovely little takeoff on those Mac vs. PC ads.
After 18 months of drawing a paycheck, I’m having to learn anew how to self-motivate. Which is to say that I had a very lazy Easter weekend.
- Microsoft is Dead - You know, being a good developer and making a bunch of money with a startup in the right place at the right time does not qualify you to be an insightful commentator. I dislike Microsoft as much as the next guy, but it’s absurd to say that Microsoft is dead or to imply that the era of desktop applications is over. And ending the essay by implying that those who disagree with you are old and therefore stupid is just offensive. Graham should realize that his public posturing reflects on the companies that Y Combinator funds.
- Schools should use Openoffice.org - I’m of two minds on this. On the one hand, NeoOffice (which is essentially OO for Mac) is handling all of my personal Office needs quite well these days, and that’s after having been a heavy Microsoft Office user from versions 2.0 through 2003. On the other, those students are going to end up in a world where they’re required to use Microsoft Office. It’s a quandry.
- ActiveWarehouse ETL 0.7.0 Released - One of the more ambitious Rails-related projects that I know about continues to march along.
- The Absolute Moron’s Guide to Capistrano - Baby steps and a helpful explanation of the conceptual framework. Useful if Capistrano is still a mysterious black box to you.
Just spent 20 minutes trying to figure out why the c: drive on my Windows box filled up overnight. I’m beginning to get crabbier and crabbier about Windows, while trying to remember that the Mac just hasn’t had time to get old and crufty yet.
- RadRails moves to Aptana - Looks like this IDE has a plan to move forward. More info from the original RadRails team here .
- ActiveWarehouse ETL 0.6.0 Released - This project is moving along at a rapid pace. In a past life, I wrote half a book on OLAP in Microsoft-land. It’s another of those enterprisey areas I’d just as soon not get back into, though.
I actually managed to make a Second Life object add a row to a database via a Rails application. This is either progress or madness, I’m not sure which.
- ActiveWarehouse Road Map - Some notes on where the ActiveWarehouse plugin is headed.
- Find Resource - Plugin to make RESTful Rails projects more DRY.
- Plugins - Acts As Enterprisey - Is part of grokking a new language knowing when something is a joke? (via Steve Eichert)
- Ruby on Rails Security - New blog devoted to, you guessed it, Rails security. (via Ruby Inside)
- Feed Digest - Another online tool for lifestreaming. Unfortunately, packrat that I am, what I really want is a client-side tool that slurps everything down into some datastore on my end, where I can archive it forever, search it, run statistics on it, will it to my kids…
- Mindquarry - Potentially interesting open source collaboration server. (via James Governor)
Ran into a bunch of stuff over the weekend…
- Using SQL Server With A Rails Application - Another quick tutorial from the Ruby in Steely guys, for folks who are still working somewhat in the Microsoft universe.
- Learn Cocoa II - A slightly deeper dive into Objective-C.
- ActiveWarehouse 0.2.0 and AW-ETL 0.5.1 - New releases of these tools for building data warehouses with Rails.
- Rails-Based ‘Code Snippets’ Sold to DZone - Good to see a business success story here inasmuch as I’m hoping to make a business somewhere in this field.
- 10 steps to get Ruby on Rails running on Windows with IIS FastCGI - The Microsoft IIS team has added experimental and untested support to the latest Tech Preview of their FastCGI implementation, for those of you who are determined to have Rails applications running on Windows boxes. Currently works on Windows Server 2003 only.
- Rails Documenting - If you have suggestions for the paid Rails documentation project’s priorities you should follow that link to make them.
