Feed Description: Adam Green's Ruby development site
The code worked on the RubyRiver Linux server without any changes, which says a lot about the ease of using a local Windows development system. I'm not suggesting for a minute that anyone switch to Windows for local development. My point is that if you are already working in Windows, you don't have to put Linux on your local computer to create web apps in Ruby. I want to spend a day or so cleaning up the code before I publish all of it on the RubyRiver site. I also want to make a few changes, like finding better ways to select out just the Ruby posts. The category tag isn't a clear standard in RSS, but I can make better use of it anyway. I also need to learn more about REXML, which I use to parse the RSS. Our code is in conflict over things like non-XML entities. We both keep trying to strip them out, which results in our stepping on each other. Next week I want to start working on a tutorial based on the RubyRiver code, which was the reason for writing it in the first place. I also need to add a submission page for new feeds, and a simple FAQ.
