...wanted to let you guys know about my upcoming Rails book: Mr. Neighborly''s Relevant Ramblings, Pointed Pontifications, and Thought Theories on Ruby & Rails. I just released the first chapter for free today (it''s a 60 page Ruby tutorial); you can grab it from here: http://www.mrneighborly.com/book You''re probably groaning about now about how there are already 15,000 Rails books in beta, print, or PDF right now. Well, I''m trying to approach this whole thing a little differently. First off I''m self-publishing. I don''t like wrestling with publishe...

Howdy all, I''ve noticed an influx of "What book should I buy?" questions lately, so I thought I''d put together a number of bibliographies/curriculums based on experience, role, and so on. You can view them at: http://blog.mrneighborly.com/2007/10/ruby-and-rails-bibliography-of-sorts.html I want this to be a resource to point people to, so if one of these becomes out of date or you have a better suggestion, then please tell me. I''ll try my best to keep it up to date. Thanks! Jeremy -- http://www.jeremymcanally.com/...

...cks for the presence of documentation and generates a report based on that, but in the future it will check for "quality" (e.g., did you document all the parameters? Is there an options list, and if so, is it documented? and so on). See my post about documentation quality on http://blog.mrneighborly.com/ if you''d like to voice your opinion on what should be used to measure quality. (Disclaimer: I realize quality is very subjective, and you are able to write your own analyzers very easily if you''d like to do your own subjective analysis) Now, on to the release. This is vers...

Hey guys, I posted the other day about scaffold not working and i was told that it was rails 2.0 doing this.

Hello, I am trying to build a regex to extract vowels and consonants from a string. So far, I am able to extract the basic a-e-i-o-u sequence using the following extension to the String class: class String def vowels scan(/[aeiou]/i) end def consonants scan(/[^aeiou]/i) end end examples: >> "Mary had a little lamb".vowels => aaaiea >> "Mary had a

Hey, do you think it could be possible to integrate a SIP or IAX client into a Rails app to use it for VoIP calls directly from the web page by clicking a link without having to download a 3rd party client? Is there any other solution than an activeX control to access the microphone? Do you have made experience with a free minimalistic applet or activeX control? Greets -- Posted via

Campers -- In a few weeks there will be a bunch of people in Portland, OR, for a conference. A long time ago some campers mentioned that might be a good time for us to get together and hold a mini CampingConf for a few hours. Is anyone interested? Does anyone want to organize it? I''m thinking Wednesday night, May 16. We could possibly get a spot at FreeGeek (not likely since they are

Would "am" and "pm" be convenient and useful methods that Rails should stick on top of the Numeric class? So instead of calling Time.parse("23:30") to get a Time object at 11:30 PM, you could do 1130.pm instead. Just trying to get an opinion before I create a patch, unit tests, etc and try and convince someone to notice :) Here are the methods if anyone wants to

First off, congrats to everyone for getting Rails 2 released. A lot of work went into the release, and it''s good to see us reach this milestone. And now that the release dust has settled, I think it might be useful for us to have a retrospective and evaluate how the release went. I think the Ruby on Rails project has improved a lot this year, and this is another opportunity
