A surprising number of applications seem to involve storing a tree of similar items out to some arbitrary depth: managers and employees, assemblies and parts, categories for organizing things. Rails doesn't have any native ability to handle a tree structure - but, as with many other things, plugins fill the gap. And even though this requirement has been around for ages, there's still active development in the plugin world as people try to invent a ...

A friend was telling me about some job interviews she went on. She enjoyed them. Of course she did, I thought. She was starring in a show, a show about her. I wrote about this five months ago, but it's worth boiling it down to the interview or sales call level. One approach is to be reactive, to sit where you're supposed to sit, have your resume appear just so, wear what you're supposed to ...

Last Tuesday, I went downtown to take my first tour of Colab Orlando and meet Terry Pappy for lunch. It was a great trip and great company. I got to see the suites and work space - I completely forgot Tuesday's are Free and wish I would have worked there all day instead of my cube in Maitland. I also have a great lunch with Terry, Ryan, Adam and Renee. If you have yet to ...

Yes folks, Rails 2.2 is here! Coming just six months after Rails 2.1, Rails 2.2 is still definitely the most exciting Rails release yet - you get internationalization, Ruby 1.9 support, thread safety, connection pooling, and a lot more. The number of people contributing to Rails has never been bigger, the quality of the documentation has recently shot through the roof, and things are looking good in Rails-world. To celebrate, Ruby Inside is running a ...

Rails 2.2 is finally done after we cleared the last issues from the release candidate program. This release contains an long list of fixes, improvements, and additions that’ll make everything Rails smoother and better, but we also have a number of star player features to parade this time. Internationalization by default The most important is that Rails now includes a full-on internationalization framework and that it’s pre-wired from start. The work of the i18n group ...

Java-heads will be familiar with JBoss, a popular Java EE-based application server. Bob McWhirter has been working on a plugin to make it easy to deploy Rails applications to a JBoss app server - something that could be quite appealing if you work in a Java-only zone (common in managed deployment situations) or if you want to sell your code to enterprises with this restriction. Bob's deployer is called, simply, jboss-rails (Github repository) and it ...

We just released Adobe AIR 1.5. While this is a point release, it is a pretty significant update. You can find an overview of new features and updates in this article on the developer center, and in this blog post. What is my favorite feature of AIR 1.5? Bug fixes! In particular URL clicks are now handled correctly (correct browser is opened, and links open in new tab in Firefox as appropriate). You can grab ...

Over the last few months I’ve realised that the speed at which I develop new projects is a lot quicker than it used to be. So I thought I’d share some of the things I’ve learned and also some quite obvious things (to me at least). Use a Base Application I’m obviously going to be horrifically biased due to the fact that I helped to develop Bort, but I think that base apps are the ...

The important news in edge Rails this week is the imminent release of Rails 2.2.1 – otherwise known as Rails 2.2 RC2. Getting ready for this release did lead to some significant changes in the Rails codebase. First, it’s very likely that you’ll need to upgrade rubygems to run RC2: the required version of rubygems is now 1.3.1, which was just released yesterday. This dependency is part of the continued work to make vendored gems ...

Back in March, Ruby developer Gregory Brown raised the idea of receiving donations so he could work on open source Ruby projects full-time. It went well, and out of this project came Prawn, a pure Ruby PDF generation library. Not one to rest on his laurels, Gregory's now working on a book for O'Reilly called Ruby Best Practices, billed as "for programmers who want to use Ruby the way Rubyists do." The book will cover ...

You've finished the first sprint of your new Rails application and you're ready to show it to the client - or are you? Most user interfaces look better when they're actually filled with data. You could sit down and start entering records by hand, wracking your brain to think of new names and addresses. Or you could take the easier way out by turning to a random data generation library. We previously looked at the ...
