ANNOUNCING AGILE WEB DEVELOPMENT WITH RAILS, SECOND EDITION =========================================================== http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/rails2/ Rails has changed a lot since we announced the first edition of the book a year ago. DHH says that the 1.1 release "boasts more than 500 fixes, tweaks, and features from more than 100 contributors." Who are we to

I just wanted to announce my latest plugin: LegacyInterop The 5 second video, minus the video, looks like this: $ ./script/plugin install svn://lirp.rubyforge.org/var/svn/lirp/trunk/legacy_interop $ echo LegacyInterop.act_as_dotnet >> config/environment.rb Done! Agile! Pragmatic! The plugin includes support for a large number of legacy systems, all using the "act_as" pattern.

I''ve been experimenting with Rails over the past couple of days and have come across something that seems harder than it should be. In previous frameworks I have used (WebObjects, php) a full search page (which leads into a list view populated with search results) was part of the CRUD that was either dynamically or statically created after specifying table/object schema. In

Anyone read the rough cuts of this book? I''m interested in checking it out because Bruce Tate''s work is always great. How does it compare to the agile books (2nd edition) in terms of timeliness, difficulty, etc. Thanks! Nathan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

So, I''ve been listing to stuff folks have been saying about the Bookman font we use. Most people like the font, but some feel there aren''t enough words/line, so your eyes move too much. So, I spent the weekend playing with typography, and I''ve come up with a compromise. The thing is: it looks good to me, but I don''t want to mess up the read for others

When we announced the second edition of Agile Web Development with Rails back in May, we pretty much killed the sales of the first edition paper book. So now, with the second edition just a few months away, we need to clear out some space. So, if you''d like to pick up a first edition paper book, they''re going (while stocks last) for $12.50 (plus shipping) from

Hi guru''s out there, Im happilly coding my first rails app, and all goes well. I find myself manually coding in a particular field all the time (company_id), that relates the contact to a company.

Hello there, I am basically a J2EE refugee fascinated with Rails. I have been using the Spring framework (a lightweight J2EE java framework with some special characteristics) but I am so impressed with RoR that I am porting over many applications. In order to "dive into Rails", of course the second thing to do was get myself an IDE, and since I''ve been using Eclipse for the

Hello, I have a perplexing permissions problem that i thought i had, but it's resurfaced. I'm running CentOS 5.3 and it runs an apache web server. The permissions on the web data directory in this case /var/www/secure/data are set to 4775 owner of apache group of webdev. All users that should be allowed to place content are in the webdev group. I was under the impression that any file

Hello All , I installed tinc for windows. But it doesn't seem to work. I want to connect two computers(for testing purposes) computer1(webdev) and computer2(gis) I have installed the tap-win32 on both of them. Both computers are windows XP. Also I don't have a router. Computer1:webdev ----------------------- C:\Program Files\tinc\vpn1\tinc.conf Name = webdev ConnectTo = office

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?

Hello, I'm trying to set up webdav on apache on centos. My web area has dav on set, it's permissions are 775 owner of the apache user and group of the webdev group which i put users in who can write to the area.

Hi I''m working on the AWDWR book and I''m on the admin section of the book. I have rails 2 installed on my machine and I have ran into an error when I created my controller login but when I go to http://localhost:3000/login/index I get this error: No route matches "/login/index" with {:method=>:get} I haven''t touched the routes.rb file and when I generated

I''ve uploaded the B1.12 version of AWDwR. The major changes include: - Justin Gehtland''s new chapter on Web 2.0 - James Duncan Davisdon''s chapter on deployment (this is an interesting one---JDD has strong opinions on how a Rails application should be deployed, and the chapter mirrors this. You''ll find it short and easy to follow). - I changed the
