DailyRails

  1. @court3nay Just saw your question about CSV. Did you look at Comma? (http://tinyurl.com/c5hcy3) I've never used it, but it looks pretty good
  2. In case you haven't heard, Passenger ♥ Nginx: http://tinyurl.com/d3l8pf
  3. Nice overview of 10 cool things in Rails 2.3 at Rail Spikes – http://tinyurl.com/ce5qdo
  4. I'm a long-time user of http://www.railsbrain.com/, but this looks nice — http://railsapi.com/ — smartly searchable Rails API.
  5. For the next month or so, you might refer to me as Not-So-DailyRails, or maybe DailyFails. I'll try to at least post a couple times a week.
  6. Sorry about the sporadic posts. I have been working on non-Rails projects for the past few weeks, and I've been a little out of touch.
  7. Rails accepted into Google Summer of Code (http://is.gd/nV0X). Ideas: http://is.gd/nV16
  8. If you've been waiting for the final release of Rails 2.3, it's out now http://is.gd/nygu Lots of great new features. sudo gem install rails
  9. Rails Boost (http://railsboost.com) generates Rails templates for you. Possibly the easiest way to get a new Rails app started.
  10. It's pretty easy to get CSV export with FasterCSV (http://tinyurl.com/2x4x47), but Comma (http://tinyurl.com/c5hcy3) looks very nice.

  15. Some good tips here: http://tinyurl.com/b7mtqt
  16. Sorry for the two missed days this week. Have a good weekend. More DailyRails on Monday.
  17. See here: http://gist.github.com/67754 (ERB) and here: http://gist.github.com/67764 (Haml) for the code.
  18. Specifically style per controller or per action by including your controller and action in your app layout as body tag CSS class attributes.
