March 28th, 2008 — ruby
Shortly after the initial release of the first iPhone SDK, Apple quickly followed it up with a second release just one week later that includes the interface builder.
Seriously:

Rails without a database
December 29th, 2007 — code, ruby, rails
Despite all other options, I decided to write a small project in Rails. But, this project is so small, there is really no need to store any information in a database!
Now, with Rails 2.0, it’s easy to accomplish!
The only real thing you have to do is add this line to your config/environment.rb:
config.frameworks -= [ :active_record ]
Cake!
I tend to remove the database.yml file, just to remind myself I’m not using a database!

Classy web-development dressed in a DSL (EXPLAINED)
October 18th, 2007 — ruby
The blazing-fast, thread-safe micro-framework was released last week! A new Sinatra resource page has been put up here at http://www.xnot.org/sinatra/
Great for facebook apps and other speed-necessary web-apps. An entire application can be contained in one file!

A ruby snippet worth mentioning
October 14th, 2007 — ruby
Here’s a snippet of code that I wrote when developing a particular feature for a client of mine.
class String
def ^(h={})
self.gsub(/:([w]+)/) {h[$1.to_sym] if h.include?($1.to_sym)}
end
end(that regex should be /:([\w]+)/, thanks Kirill for the heads up!)
Wha?
p "Hello :word" ^ {:word => "World"}
Hope this comes in handy!
Oh and…
Stay tuned for the Sinatra tutorial. It’s on its way. In final deliberations. One more draft…
Anxious yet?
Rspec with edge rails… (rev 7468)
September 12th, 2007 — ruby, rails, bdd
If you are running on edge rails with an app… lately, we’ve run into the error:
NameError: uninitialized constant ActionView::Helpers::JavaScriptMacrosHelper
YUCK!
Since that’s located in the spec plugin, I simple just commented it out…
Line 31 (rspec_on_rails/lib/spec/rails/dsl/behaviour/helper.rb)
Change
include ActionView::Helpers::JavaScriptMacrosHelper
to
# include ActionView::Helpers::JavaScriptMacrosHelper
Couldn’t be more simple.
Now… back to development.
Hope this helps someone else out there in google-land.
