We''re working on a new series of applications called "RealApps" - simple plugins and components add functionality to Rails applications.

Good stuff for programmers to know - especially if you are doing paid client work. It

Hello! Could someone review the patch attached to [1] and provide feedback? Briefly, it targets rails 3, and fixes "rails g model admin/post".

What''s the best way to test the flash when you use flash#now ? For example, if I set the flash in my controller: flash.now[:notice] = ''This will only show up on this action.'' How do I test it?

I am pleased to announce the immediate release of Radius 0.5.0. Radius is a small, but powerful tag-based template language for Ruby inspired by the template languages used in MovableType <www.movabletype.org> and TextPattern <www.textpattern.com>. It uses tags similar to XML, but can be used to generate any form of plain text (HTML, e-mail, etc...). This release is much more feature

We''ve just released our first in the RealApps series - a dead-simple CMS for Rails. It''s implemented as a plugin you can download, which then generates scaffolded code for administering your content. It''s designed to be a starter system for small sites, and of course you can build on it as you want. It''s also a good place to look if you want to see how

This is sort of a pre-announcement for a Rails plugin my friend Adam Williams and I are working on. We''re in the process of extracting it from a project we are working on so that it can be generally useful to the Rails community. We are calling it "Scenarios". It is a drop in replacement for Rails fixtures: http://faithfulcode.rubyforge.org/svn/plugins/trunk/scenarios/README
