Hi! Definite newbie here - I''m working through this like-hate relationship with Ruby and Rails right now... sometimes things work really well (like blobs seem to rock) but other times, I dunno! :-) Anyway, I''d like put in create and update user timestamps on all my primary domain tables and allow them to be updated automatically by ActiveRecord. Coming from Hibernate, I just

Hi- Ruby 1.8.2 Rails 1.1 so I''m trying to build my first rails app and I''m trying to understand how the helper methods work. For instance .new & .save . For instance, I''ve created a table of Objects, and generated a scaffold. I see that in the controller, there are calls to Object.new and Object.save. I''m assuming that these are methods inherited

All, My initial list is rather busy. I would like to shorten the created_on and updated_on fields to just display the date, not the time. Best wold be a simple 12/28/05 type of presentation. I''ve found the format helpers in rdoc. (ie. distance_of_time_in_words_to_now ), but none seem to be what I''m looking for. How do I control the date format of a timestamp field? Thanks

hi! with a 4GL background, wanting to learn RoR, what is the fastest learning path i should take? should i go grab a RoR tutorial, and learn Ruby along the way, or start with plain Ruby first? thanks for any inputs!

I''m having a problem converting a date retrieved from my MySQL database and I''m hoping someone can help. MySQL stores the date/time as this: 2005-03-08 17:00:34.0 and according to my Pickaxe book Ruby stores times as "the number of seconds and microseconds since [...] January 1, 1970". All well and good. Unfortunately, RoR is converting my date to this:

For some reason whenever I try and create a timestamp column with migrations and mysql I get a datetime column instead. That''s kind of annoying because I want the column to update every time the row gets changed. Is this a bug, or is there something I can do about it? (Obviously I can manually change my mysql table, but that kind of defeats the point of migrations!) In my migration

Hi all I took a look to several examples of RoR on different web sites, and I found that it is hard to write a class, in RoR, because I do not understand all the codes used on the source code. jsn -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

hello Friends, I am a newbie to "Ruby or Ruby on Rails". A J2EE application architect at my day job. A fairly experienced PHP web-developer as well. After reading into the many articles on Ruby/ROR, have to admit looks pretty good so far. Really serious about getting into this and possibly developing some good Web 2.0 applications. Just wondering the best way to learn Ruby on

Hi there, I am a newbie and interested in learning Ruby on Rails. I see there are 2 books out there: Ruby for Rails Ruby techniques for Rails developers David A. Black and Agile Web Development with Rails : A Pragmatic Guide (Pragmatic Programmers) Dave Thomas, David Heinemeier Hansson, Andreas Schwarz, and Thomas Fuchs Which one should I get?

Hi, My results are getting out of order after I do the following command: count = result.inject({}) { |hsh, row| hsh[row[''name'']] = row[''count''].to_i; hsh } Why?

I''ve been playing with the new RJS stuff in RoR1.1, and I have to say that I''m am extremely impressed, NICE! work guys. However, I seem to be having a bit of a problem. I promise, I''ve googled the hell out of it and haven''t found an answer. Set up: Putting together a little proof of concept app. Display a form (index.rhtml) that just has a button to

I''m a beginner. I''ve done the apple tutorial, Agile ROR (the depot app, I stopped after that, a little to advanced with no base knowledge of Ruby), Why''s guide and my copy of Chris Pine''s book today. After Pine, I''m going to buy either the Wrox book or Ruby for Rails book. I did a search and there''s not too much on the Wrox book (Holzner)

Maybe this should apply to Ruby forums directly, but I''ll try here. I understand the concept of classes and subclasses thanks to the excellent "Programming Ruby - The Pragmatic Programmer''s Guide".

Reviews Wanted. I''ve read the tables of contents and haven''t yet made up my mind. Is one book clearly better than the other? Is one clearly full of bugs? Is one so much further ahead that there is no choice? Are they both so incomplete that I should just wait and only cook real food? Do trains still have dining cars?
