Original Post: InfoQ Ruby Community Unlaunched
Feed Title: Obie On Rails (Has It Been 9 Years Already?)
Feed URL: http://jroller.com/obie/feed/entries/rss
Feed Description: Obie Fernandez talks about life as a technologist, mostly as ramblings about software development and consulting. Nowadays it's pretty much all about Ruby and Ruby on Rails.
InfoQ was "unlaunched" last week, (meaning we're still doing some final bug-fixing), but you should still check it out and see all the good stuff we have so far. Exclusive video interviews with DHH, David Black and other well-known Rubyists, as well as presentations such as Charles and Tom demo'ing JRuby at JavaOne last week are coming soon.
I'm serving as the Ruby community editor, so contact me via email if you're interested in contributing news or articles. BTW, the founder of InfoQ.com, Floyd Marinescu, is famous for starting
theserverside.com, one of the world's most popular technical websites. He's a big fan of Ruby and Rails and we're proud of working together to be the first site to give Ruby top-billing along with Java, .NET and other topics such as Agile and SOA.
For your convenience, here is a list of all content and news on InfoQ about Ruby to date...
Ruby
makes it easy to craft Domain-Specific-Languages with Ruby syntax. This
article is a story about the benefits derived from implementing a Ruby
DSL for a PLANET ARGON development project.
Ruby
on Rails is in many ways a system in itself. But in many, many other
ways, Rails exposes, explores, and exploits its connections to Ruby,
rather than hiding or disguising them. David A. Black, author of the
book Ruby for Rails from Manning, shares his thoughts on whether or not
Rails developers should take the time to master Ruby.
Earlier
this week, Mauricio Fernandez released version 0.4 of Rcov, his tool
for simple code coverage analysis in Ruby. Rcov is fast, feature-packed
and progressing rapidly.
A
couple of shiny new Rails-powered websites were announced in the last
couple of days. Invitika is described as SMS + mobile blogging + event
planning + LBS + photos. Thebeststuffintheworld.com is a comprehensive
database of, well, the best stuff in the world, just as implied by the
name.
RailsDay
2006 is a 24 hour competition scheduled to be held in mid-June, right
before RailsConf. During the contest, teams of Ruby on Rails developers
from around the world will compete for valuable prizes to see who can
author the best Rails application in just a day.
Well-known
Rails programmer Zed Shaw was interviewed by O'Reilly. Zed talked about
Ruby on Rails and his work on an up-and-coming new HTTP server named
Mongrel that is winning accolades all over the community.
The
latest version of JRuby will be presented to JavaOne attendees this
week. Included in the demonstrations is a working Rails application and
an ActiveRecord adapter backed by JDBC.
ICI,
a stainless steel truck accessory business in Canada, today announced a
900USD bounty to the first person to deliver ODBTP support for Rails.
ODBTP (Open Database Transport Protocol) is a TCP/IP protocol ideal for
connecting Linux-based programs to ODBC data sources on Windows servers.
