Posted on June 19, 2008. Filed under: A de Vroom, B Ray, B Smith, M Wedemeyer, R Felton, Ruby on Rails, reference, tagging | Tags: , , |

As my yesterday posting on how to do many-to-many relationships in Rails turned out to be popular, today I give an example for how to add tags to a Rails model in the same stripped down style.
Just like yesterday, as the thing that shall get tags attached we want an item model. And we want [...]

There are lots of tutorials out on Rails, and many people may need to work through them to get a grasp of Rails. but once you’re experienced in programming you might feel delayed by all the stuff the tutorial brings up but which you already know. Most of the tutorials I’ve seen so far also [...]

Are patterns meta-algorithms?

Posted on April 27, 2008. Filed under: J Weiss, Ruby on Rails, algorithms, patterns, slides | Tags: , , |

I quit programming as a hobby in about 1996. That was when finally I noticed repetitions in my programming work — situations you ran into before, but for sure not ever since you learned this particular language. Today, you most likely would call them patterns. Patterns are quite popular today, but those days I was [...]

I’m stranded in Duesseldorf at work, so instead of being home, in my bed and asleep, I’m sitting next to our frontend guru who’s still awake enough to get real work done. My next possible train goes at 4:31am, but taking it would be rather pointless — to get me awake in the morning, my [...]

building the foundations of a social network framework (part 1.5)

Posted on March 29, 2008. Filed under: Active Record, Ruby on Rails, barebone social network framework, basic user model, core social framework functionality, drafts, handle for a user, social network framework tutorial, tutorials, user management | Tags: , , |

Until now, I have figured out how that stripped-down version of a most basic social network framework shall look like — in terms of rendered HTML for the users list as well as for the database structure to be used/models’ interdependencies. The goal is to implement that most basic stripped-down version. My previous post on [...]

building the foundations of a social network framework [to be continued]

Posted on March 29, 2008. Filed under: Ruby on Rails, barebone social network framework, community building, contact list, contact list management, core social framework functionality, drafts, handle for a user, tutorials, user management, videos | Tags: , , , , , |

Since I pondered on implementing a social network for weeks, this weekend I might have some time to get something up and running. It’s plain to me that I am new to Rails, and I probably will miss several important points. (For the same reason, I don’t dare to approach to comprehend how the LovdByLess [...]

Thanks for checking back, friends. I know I should blog a new post but am unsure of what to tackle next. … Well, probably you’re eager to learn about some more barebone social networks I might have picked up somewhere in the net or some more details on the MIT-licensed Rails social net barebone LovdbyLess [...]

hosting Rails applications (final Rails links tranche, #4)

Posted on March 21, 2008. Filed under: Amazon Elastic Cloud, Codepad, EC2, Heroku, Ruby on Rails, barebone social network framework, content management system, interviews, social network | Tags: , , , , , |

The fourth and final post of my links-spreading series of Rails/Ruby, mobile social networks and telecommunications posts is about Rails productive tools, i.e. such ones not dedicated to Rails development. Mostly, it’s about Rails hosting, especially using the newborn star-to be Heroku and the underlying EC2 technology, but contains also a link to a Rails-based [...]

From draft to launch: Helpful tools in Rails development (3rd tranche of Rails links)

To get a clue of how Ruby and Rails and all a Rails project’s parts intertwine, I had a look into the files tree of a dummy Rails project, i.e. into what it looked like just after creation using rails project name, i.e. without any modification. A lot I got just by reading the inline [...]

special Rails 2.0 features OR what impressed me most about Rails (2nd tranche of Rails links)

Just after the turn of the year 2006>2007 I dove into Ruby. My original project is related to semantics, and I had to deal with large directed graphs and complex data structures. I put programming-as-a-hobby aside, about 1997, and the then most-recent language I’ve been aware of was Perl. For doing the occasional programming task, [...]
