No, not a question, but a few suggestions. I take it that everyone serious about using Prototype & Co. already has Christophe''s (Porteneuve) Prototype and Script.aculo.us book. Apart from that, I''d like to point out two new, library-agnostic books: Cameron Adams and several others The Art & Science of JavaScript Sitepoint 2008 http://www.sitepoint.com/books/jsdesign1/

You could also check out the following tutorials. I found these pretty helpful. SitePoint Articles: http://www.sitepoint.com/print/oriented-programming-1 http://www.sitepoint.com/print/oriented-programming-2 Thank you, Mandy.

Does anyone know of a repository that's *trustworthy* (gotta worry 'bout malware) with newer ruby rpm's than RHEL has? OT: the more I deal with ruby, the less I like it. Someone here was ready to move to a newer version, and from the ruby.org website, they're apparently actively hostile to all RH-related distros, even though we're the most common in North America. They've

Hello, Hope no one minds me just jumping in here with a question. I''m completely new to Ruby on Rails. I''ve been reading "Simply Rails 2", and following their examples.

Has anyone extended Rails''s acts_as_tree to use the Modified Preorder Traversal algorithm? This is a really clever trick for optimizing access to trees stored in databases, as described lucidly in this article: http://www.sitepoint.com/article/hierarchical-data-database/2 It adds two integer fields, a "left counter" and "right counter", to each row.

Hi, I'm currently busy finishing "Linux aux petits oignons", a practical introduction to Linux, aimed primarily at the frustrated Windows user. This is the first of two volumes, it's written in french, and all examples in the book are based on CentOS.
