similar to: Ackbar, KirbyBase, and Agile Web Development With Rails Blog

Sorry for the long Subject line, but I couldn''t figure out what else to call it. :-) Just a quick announcement to tell you that I have worked through Chapters 6 and 7 so far of "Agile Web Development with Rails", using Ackbar/KirbyBase to develop the Depot app instead of MySQL. You can find my blog about it at: http://houseonfire.wordpress.com For those who

Hi All, = What''s New This is a bug fix release. Jamey Cribbs (author of KirbyBase) has run through Active Web Development with Rails, building the Depot sample app on top of Akbar/KirbyBase. A few issues uncovered there were fixed / enhanced in this release. See the CHANGELOG for full details. You can read all about his exercise, starting at

Just wanted to announce that I''ve posted a blog entry summarizing some of the things I learned from my effort to create the Depot app from Agile Web Development with Rails, using Ackbar and KirbyBase, instead of MySQL. You can find it at: http://houseonfire.wordpress.com Jamey

= About Ackbar Ackbar is an adapter for ActiveRecord (the Rails ORM layer) to the KirbyBase pure-ruby plain-text DBMS. Because KirbyBase does not support SQL, joins or transactions, this is not a 100% fit. There are some changes to the ActiveRecord interface (see below), but it may still be useful in some cases. = URIs Ackbar: http://ackbar.rubyforge.org KirbyBase:

I''ve found vague mentions of various attempts at creating an ActiveRecord adapter for the KirbyBase pure Ruby DBMS, but nothing which looks like it''s actually working. Anyone know of such an adapter that is functional and available? b

Has anyone come across any interesting ways to make rails apps easily distributable to run on a local machine. I''d love to be able to "bundle" my rails app into a single file that would contain a simple webserver, database and my rails app which a non-experienced user could then download install on their machine, go to a web browser and run the app locally. I envision it

Hi, i''m just starting to develop an active_record db adapter for an in-memory oo database (purple). This will obviously require quite some work in the Base class of active_record and so I''m wondering if anyone has done this already? After some searching I found the ackbar adapter for kirbybase db. And while I sure will be lifing code from there, I''d really imagine

I''ve been reading up on Berkeley DB and I''ve been refelcting on the Rails philosophy and it just seemed to me like the two should go together hand in glove. Rails seeks to abstract the programer from squirrely database coding which is great. My only problem is that you''re still left with a large component, namely the databsase server (MySQL, PostgreSQL..etc) which

Hi, I''ve been playing around with using DBI instead of ActiveRecord ''cause I just love to beat myself up! ;) Is this an okay way to do this, or is there any other more creative ways? require ''dbi'' module MyApp:Models class DB def self.dbh DBI.connect(''DBI:Mysql:dbname'', ''username'',

In listening to this week''s Ruby on Rails Podcast the issue of YAML came up, and it got me thinking. Yes, YAML is very simple and cleanly defines both the database configuration and fixtures, but couldn''t the same thing be accomplished in Ruby? Jamis and others have encouraged the use of DSLs to simplify and clarify code. Since Django (whose author was on the podcast) uses

Jamey, There is a previous posting in the speex archives with a link to the dsp c5x patch. Archive link: http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/speex-dev/2004-October/002847.html Patch link: http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/speex-dev/attachments/20041029/facb8c73/spee x-1.1.6-jeh1-0001.bin But that patch is very different (much smaller) then the dsp c5x patch at
