I am not going to be able to attend RailsConf this year. That means I have one RailsConf ticket I would like to sell at face value ($400 US). I also have a conference rate ($100/night) hotel reservation for June 22-26 at the Wyndham O’Hare that I will transfer to whomever buys the […]
Today is my last day at CFP Board. That means that this is my last
day working with RoR professionally, for a
while at least, and that makes me a little sad.
RoR is a sweet piece of work. It is a platform on which a developer
can be enormously productive. For example, I fixed three […]

Buchanan is a very promising
RESTful web application framework for PHP. If you are doing web
development in PHP I definitely suggest you take a closer look.
I am always interested in how RESTful behaviors are implemented,
regardless of the language and environment used so I went and had a
little peek at the docs. I noticed […]
On a recent
project
I ran into a situation where I needed some structural data. I was
writing a conference registration application. Each track at the
conference costs a different amount and attendees can sign up for more
than one track. We already have an accounting infrastructure that has
a concept of a “product”, which is just something […]
Charlie has released his take on a RestController for Rails.
That is very sweet. It is great to see more work on RESTful Rails.
It seems to me that each attempt gets closer to an approach I could
believe in and be proud of. And, I get a warm fuzzy feeling any time
I see a domain […]
This month’s DeRailed meeting is this Wednesday, March 15. The agenda looks very interesting, including a session about the differences in RoR 1.1. I missed the inaugural meeting last month but think I am going to be able to make it to this one.
My very first Rails app went live today. The project had a very tight
deadline and we managed to go live only three days late which, in my
book, is on time. Interestingly, this is the very first application
that I have deployed live on the Internet. Prior to this all my web
application experience came from working on […]
Update: Due to a misconfiguration some of my blog entries from the
month of Feburary recently lost. This is merely a repost of the
original content.
At the Ruby User Groups meeting the other day someone asked me
what things I did not like about Ruby and Rails. At the time I did not
have any really good answers, which […]
When I started using Ruby on Rails professionally a few months ago I hoped that Rails was first of a new breed of web application frameworks. After working with it for several months I have reached conclusion that it is not the paradigm shifting framework I had hoped for. Rather, it is just […]
After finishing my previous post in response to Stephen O’Grady’s ruby tools question it occurred to me that I might be able to shed some light onto the other options that available. While I use Emacs some of the other developers here do not. I will try to give my impression of the […]
