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?

The agile book says "You can inspect variables, set values, add other breakpoints, and generally have a good time". This is very sweet and totally useless. For example, I want to see the session variable, the cookies variable and so on. These names are unknown. I think I guess that the things that are available depend on where you put the breakpoint() call. I''ve tried a

What wysiwyg html/CSS editors do people recommend. I''m mainly interested in FOSS programs that I can run on WinXP. Sometimes you just have to create some mostly-static pages and make them look nice. I see that Guy Kawasaki is using Nvu, which is based on Mozilla composer. Any of you guys have any experience with that? Warren Fred -------------- next part -------------- An HTML

The Agile book seems to say I should specify this as follows, probably in the environments.rb: ActionController::CgiRequest::DEFAULT_SESSION_OPTIONS[:database_manager] = CGI::Session::ActiveRecordStore BUT the environments.rb file would have me Un-Comment this: config.action_controller.session_store = :active_record_store Anyway, I''ve tried both, and in both cases it

The domain registration companies are pushing an add-on called ''Private Registration'' where they keep your email and other personal info secret to prevent spam. Is this a good deal? Is it needed?

Every page of my DEPOT on Postgresql rails app now gets an error from postgres-pr about some wild left-join SQL that has nothing to do with my tables: SQL (0.000000) NameError: undefined local variable or method `errors'' for #<PostgresPR::Connection:0x3b200c0>: SELECT a.attname, format_type(a.atttypid, a.atttypmod), d.adsrc, a.attnotnull FROM pg_attribute a LEFT JOIN

I''ve been working with rails for a while now. Rails is the second web framework I''ve tried. It blows the doors off catalyst (perl''s best framework). I even just wrote my first plugin (broomstick). Ruby''s ability to meta-program blew me away with it''s ease of use. I''ve been so impressed with the helpers that rails uses to make a lot of

After months of design and development, we''ve launched our second Rails site, http://www.fatwreck.com (assuming your DNS is updated - the pink site is the old one). The site is for legendary punk rock record label, Fat Wreck Chords and it includes a store. The old site was highly trafficked, with millions of page views per month and we expect this one to be also. So far, the server

I am going to start a project from scratch with MySQL. Is it a good idea to go ahead with MySQL 5? Is there any gotcha with that version as of today? -- fxn "We all agree on the necessity of compromise. We just can''t agree on when it''s necessary to compromise." -- Larry Wall in comp.lang.perl

Hiall, I''m wondering what''s common practice when dealing with money values stored in databases. I like the idea of storing all the values as integers, i.e. all the values in eurocents not euros. Then I need to multiply all values the users enter by 100 before storing them in the database. Now the question is, what''s the most efficient and dryest way to do this?

Is there any reason to avoid using postgresql for small web apps? That is, is it''s overhead so large that the lighter MySQL will work substantially better for small apps on small machines? Or are they very similar in performance and configuration? I''ve used MySQL but postgresql has its appeals and I''m wondering if I need to keep MySQL around at all. On the other

Our company is mainly made up off application developers but we have a lot of web work coming up so we are deciding which route to take at the moment. We initially identfied ASP.NET 2.0 with the ATLAS AJAX framework because of the RAD features, easy to learn etc. I had read some stuff on ROR and our Boss who is open minded allowed me to create a sample application with ROR. He was impressed

Is there a "pretend" option in rsync that will just show the transfers it is going to do without actually doing any transfers? Or even better, after it shows the transfers it is about to do to prompt if user would like to proceed. Sort of like "emerge --pretend" and "emerge --ask" in Gentoo package management.

I have a weird problem with creating a new record when using PostgreSQL. From inside script/console ... >> entity = Entity.new >> entity.first_name = "Foo" >> entity.last_name = "bar" >> entity.save Throws an exception due to the following SQL error: duplicate key violates unique constraint. The application was working fine before and suddenly

I tried to put formatted text out to the browser when it was inside a textarea and got to look at markup. This might just be an HTML question. Is there a construct that will let me bound the size of text display with rows and cols like <textarea> but also let me html-format the internal text? I suppose I could hack up a table to use percentages. Maybe there is a CSS solution where I
