Hi, Given the convention of fat models to handle business logic, is there a point where you might be justified in using a separate plain ruby object(s) to orchestrate certain business logic interactions, essentially a middle layer between your controllers and models for high level functions?

Ok here''s a quicky... but a goody :) We have models Company, Reference and Applicant... and References and Applicants just inherit from Company, and are basically companies with the type field set to reference...

Hi, I have a Rails 2 app and I wand to provide an API for 3rd party applications written on any language the customer uses. My thoughts are that the best way of providing it is by taking advantage of rails RESTfulness and let them perform CRUD actions on my data through it. But I don''t seem to find many information on how to achieve this. I first want to develop .NET clients (or web

Each item can be folded and unfolded using ajax. FAQ foo -> question 1 -> question 2 -> question 3 So, I wrote a helper "faq_li_tag(args)" which takes the question and answer for parameters and generates the
