Ruby on Rails Plugins (Free subscription) | yesterday
HasImage is a plugin/gem that allows Ruby on Rails applications to have attached images. It is very small and lightweight: it only requires one column (”has_image_file”) in your model to store the uploaded image’s file name. It was created as a smaller, simpler, lighter alternative to attachment_fu for applications that need to handle uploaded images.

I'll cut right to it: what the FUCK was I thinking? This week, I spent my days learning Unix commands, web server protocols, JQuery architecture, Ruby on Rails and the dreaded cross-browser compatibility bug fixes for someone else's code. You didn't think I knew that stuff? Aside from browser testing and fixing the HTML/CSS, I don't know ANY of the other stuff I just mentioned. Unix? ME??? Yea, not...

A bit more involved that writing "echo Hello World". The framework model in Ruby on Rails is MCV (Model, Controller, View). After creating the database and generating the framework, you would create a view that is a htlm file that would contain "Hello World" and create a controller that has the action of opening the hello.rhtml file in the web browser. Hello World Tutorial

I completely understand that. I'm a weekend warrior when it comes to RoR (or home improvement, for that matter) and Google is my best friend. Both RoR and Drupal are similar enough that you can migrate or port the higher-level elements back and forth, so we should compare notes from time to time.

Dan, When I first started looking at this after the 04 election, I thought about doing it in Ruby on Rails as a exercise for me to learn RoR. But I am not a developer and didn't want to have the local party depend on me to fix my probably buggy code. I was excited to find out about CiviCRM, where the heavy lifting of development is done. The big challenge is configuring it. One of the things I want...

Cutter -- This is great information. I'm doing something similar, but I'm using Ruby on Rails instead of Drupal for a precinct-level organization application. In both cases, I'm a fan of the open source software. There's no reason why these tools aren't in the hands of everyone. Dan B (And as soon as I sort through the growing stack of to-dos on my desk, I'll start and maintain a blog here on organizing...

Here is the objective of the group: This group aims at gathering all Ruby on Rails enthusiasts active in Belgium. It also has the ambition to start creating a network of RoR professionals, to promote the technology and to facilitate the meeting of developers and consultant to meet the market...

Where do you usually find out about a new book to read, a new song to listen for or even a game to play? I think most of us would say we find new things through our friends and social interactions. LivingSocial, a DC-based startup created by the Ruby on Rails development shop Hungry Machine, is looking to help with recommendations. Started as a Facebook application, LivingSocial offers a handful of...

JumpBox for Ruby on Rails Deployment - 0.9.1 - While the Mac is an awesome platform for web development, it is sometimes useful to use it for the creative & editing side and deploy in a more production-like environment or just deploy in a “sandbox”.

(Photo credit: Kieran Huggins) RubyFringe - described as a "pricey, limited-attendance smoozefest" by Ruby documentation co-ordinator James Britt or as "an avant-garde conference for developers that are excited about emerging technologies outside of the Ruby on Rails monoculture" by the organizers - went ahead last week and appears to have been a significant hit.
