Rails - Aug 2010 - From RailsConf: New Open Source Gems to manage large Rails "eco-systems"

Dear All -
  At the end of our RailsConf Speech on how we built a maintainable
yet complex rails system (slides here:
http://en.oreilly.com/rails2010/public/schedule/detail/14302),
there was a large demand for us to open source our methods.

As such, we are pleased to announce eco_apps 0.1. (http://
www.github.com/idapted/eco_apps)

What it does:
eco_apps allow you to develop an application ecosystem - many apps
that behave as one system to the end user.  Based on the techniques
outlined in our RailsConf presentation, we''ve found this to be a more
efficient (and happier!) way to develop a large "system".

Our first version is just the bare essentials: it supports each app to
"discover" each other and has the core functions for inter-app data
sharing according to the principles we''ve found work (see
documentation).

In the coming weeks we''ll be releasing much of the rest of what is
outlined in our RailsConf PPT  View side helpers, SSO, services and so
on.  We''ll also put together a screencast or two.

But, in the meantime, we look forward to your feedback/questions.

Happy Coding!

Idapted Tech Team
