Rails presentation and workshop at DayalBagh Educational Institute, Agra, India

India, RubyonRails, Technology, events, rails, ruby on rails posted by Akhil Bansal

Rails presentation at DEITwo weeks ago we went to DEI(DayalBagh Educational Institute) to present Ruby and Rails. We also had a whole day workshop there.
It was really a big fun. We (me and my colleagues Sur & Hemant ) enjoyed it very much. People (students of M.Sc, PGDCSA and course coordinator) were very interested in Ruby and Rails. These students had already worked on PHP/Perl. First day sur presented Ruby basics then I gave a brief introduction of Rails and MVC Architecture. This was my first ever public presentation.Rails presentation at DEI

I was feeling very nervous while starting but later I felt comfortable. Afterward we had ActiveRecord Basics by sur, me on ActionController and ActionView by Hemant. Next day in workshop we planned to get tada list done by students but due to some time constraints we could not finish tada list completely . Students were confused in starting but later on they got interest in the application. After the workshop they were amazed how easily things can be done as comparing to PHP/Perl. I should say thanks to Ritu for taking initiative for this presentation and workshop. She was also supposed to go there but she couldn’t go.

get started on Ruby on Rails in hours

books, rails, ruby on rails posted by manik

build you own ruby on rails application

Build you own Ruby on Rails web application is a book specially written for people wanting to start exploring rails. It is being pitched as the “ultimate beginners guide to Rails” by sitepoint.
So if you have been appreciating Rails from outside, get hold of this book and jump right it. Start experiencing the joy of Ruby on Rails programming in hours, if not minutes.

This book is also an exteremely useful resource for companies who want to train developers on Rails.

Thanks Jamis, for the review which made me look at this book. Now that a new rails book is coming out almost every fortnight, it’s getting difficuilt to keep track.
Also there is this gem hidden in Jamis’ review : never use a plugin you would not be able to write yourself. We have learnt it the hard way and I am sure so have many other Rails developers.

Strange behaviour of respond_to in IE

General, rails, ruby on rails posted by Ritu

In recent days i have monitored a very strange behaviour of respond_to in IE.I am sharing my experience in hope that somebody might explain it to me. As i cudnt find anything related to this from my best teacher google :(

I am using edge rails in one of my projects. some where in that i have used respond_to in following way…


def show
respond_to |format| do
format.js {render :partial=>’show’}
format.html {}
end
end

When i checked the response in firefox for html and xml both requests type, it was perfect. But when i checked html response in IE 6 creates a blunder :O.It was returning a js file with the javascript response.

But when i changed the code and placed the html call first and then checked xml call it worked fine in IE too.

def show
respond_to |format| do
format.html {}
format.js {render :partial=>’show’}
end
end

Now can somebody tell me why is this happening and anyone else faced this issue ever?

Ruby/Rails Music album

rails, ruby, ruby on rails posted by Ritu

Its melodious …its amazing and i can keep humming one or other track all the time. Really i loved it :)

Chris has the music for Ruby/Rails Community.He calls is IRB Mix .Tape and its just fantastic.

Track 4 about sandboxing is just mind blowing…

$ ruby script/console –sandbox
Loading development environment in sandbox.
Any modifications you make will be rolled back on exit.

And Track 5 about underscore operator (_) .I hadnt found yet anything in irb giving the value of last evaluated expression in Ruby. But ‘_’ does this cake thing for me. Good job Chris :D

One more small thing that i learned from one of the comment….

>> 4*4
=> 16
>> 4**4
=> 256
>> 100**100**100
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/rational.rb:543: warning: in a**b, b may be too big
=> Infinity
