Check it out.
Our friends over at Softies on Rails have put a book out that will help any .NET developer looking to work with Ruby on Rails. The Softies crew was an early inspiration for me to try out Ruby and Mac development, and I am really happy for them that they were able [...]
Hilarious code comedy from Rails Jedi
My favorite:
“Viewstate is back. Now new and improved on top of Rails. acts_as_aspdotnet overrides form_tag to put a hidden variable that contains loads of crucial processing data on every postback that will fill your server pipes with more glorious bandwidth.”

If the soap4r gem (version 1.5) is breaking your workstation or servers, it might be because there are conflicts between Rails and soap4r both in source code, and in the community. We’ll discuss the source code fix first:
If you are getting this error:

Hmmm… maybe this whole Rails thing is just hype. I might start brushing up on assembler. In college, I was taught VAX assembler (not even x86!) so I am sure I’ll have no problems.

I am putting together a multipart series on migrating from ASP.NET to Rails, but in the meantime I thought I’d share some tidbits that I’ve come across that hopefully can help people who are otherwise scouring Google and the interwebs for information on [...]

Folks,
I’ve had it with ASP.NET.
I had a simple missing tag on a Master page (I think VS2005 conveniently erased my form tag because I was trying to actually do something nifty), and it blew up our company web page.

Ltech.com is a [...]

Is it me or are there too many choices for Rails production stacks?
Depending on what kind of server you are deploying to, you can have any or all of the following in your mix:
ApacheLighty (LightTPD)PoundPenMongrel (or mongrel_cluster)NgnixFastCGI
Whoa! That is way more confusing than even the most obsfucated Java stack.
I am a huge [...]
I am trying to learn Ruby.
Trying to get out of the development rut I’ve been in.
I love .NET. I love C#. I can build powerful apps very quickly in .NET. However, taking these apps and getting my team to maintain them consistently, and building a web-ready infrastructure around them to support both [...]
