Composition Of Responsibility vs Interface Implementation
http://lostechies.com/derickbailey/2012/01/03/composition-of-responsibility-vs-interface-implementation/
ActiveRecord might truly be a horrible beast with far too many concerns in one given place. I haven’t dug into that source code very much. From what I remember of it, it’s huge and difficult for me to understand (but then, it does a metric-ton-squared of meta-programming, so I guess I’m not surprised that it’s hard for me to understand).

Ruby on Rails, Demo Application (1) Creating the Application

I wrote a post series about my experience at the past Ruby Fun Day at Buenos Aires, in Spanish:

Mi Día en el Ruby Fun Day with @bendycode

Now, I want to write my learning steps following the chapter 2 of Michael Hartl book Ruby on Rails 3 Tutorial: Learn from Example.

I installed Ruby on my Windows box, using http://rubyinstaller.org/ (more options at http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/). In Windows, you should install DevKit (a minimalist GNU for windows (mingw)). See Ruby Installer page for link download. The instructions to install it are at http://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Development-Kit. (some details in Spanish).

Then, I executed the command (at any command prompt)

gem install rails

that installs Ruby on Rails, a web framework for Ruby. Go to a working directory (in my case c:\Git), and execute

rails

Output:

Then I executed

rails new RailsDemoApp

with output:

Change to the new directory:

cd RailsDemoApp

Now, you have a folder tree like:

Ruby manages gems (package to install and use). Rails itself is a gem. And Rails application have a GemFile that list the gems our new application will use. Just in case we have a new gem to install, execute:

bundle install

Bundle is the new package installer used in Ruby on Rails 3. It reads the GemFile and installs (in Ruby gem directory, in our machine, it’s not per application) the needed gems. Then, you can execute:

bundle show

I configured the current directory (Git\RailsDemoApp) to be a Git repo:

git init
git add .
git commit –m “Initial Commit”

I added a new repository in my GitHub Account using https://github.com/repositories/new:

The new repo: https://github.com/ajlopez/RailsDemoApp

I added and pushed to the remote repo:

git remote add origin git@github.com:ajlopez/RailsDemoApp.git
git push origin master

You can launch the initial server with

rails server

or its shortcut

rails s

See the result at http://localhost:3000

Next steps: adding a simple model (users, micropost), database, views, controllers, scaffolding, and Heroku deploy. Scaffolding (quick CRUD code generation) will be the approach to use in this series, but in a following post series I want to show (and learn the making of a Rails application, step by step, as in Hartl book.

Keep tuned!

PHP: Links, News and Resources (1)

I did a lot of programming with PHP for years. These are some of the recent links I collected:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP

PHP is a general-purpose server-side scripting language originally designed for web development to produce dynamic web pages. For this purpose, PHP code is embedded into the HTML source document and interpreted by a web server with a PHP processor module, which generates the web page document. It also has evolved to include a command-line interface capability and can be used in standalone graphical applications.^[2] PHP can be deployed on most web servers and as a standalone interpreter, on almost every operating system and platform free of charge.^[3] There is also commercial software such as RadPHP, arapid application development framework for the PHP language. A competitor to Microsoft‘sActive Server Pages (ASP) server-side script engine^[4] and similar languages, PHP is installed on more than 20 million websites and 1 million web servers.^[5]

PHP was originally created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1995. The main implementation of PHP is now produced by The PHP Group and serves as the de facto standard for PHP as there is noformal specification.^[6] PHP is free software released under the PHP License which is incompatible with the GNU General Public License (GPL) due to restrictions on the usage of the term PHP.^[7]

While PHP originally stood for "Personal Home Page", it is now said to stand for "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor", a recursive acronym.^[8]

Ruby On Rails: Links, News and Resources (1)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_on_Rails

Ruby on Rails, often shortened to Rails or RoR, is an open source web application framework for the Ruby programming language.

Ruby on Rails was extracted by David Heinemeier Hansson from his work on Basecamp, a project management tool by 37signals (now a web application company).^[9] Hansson first released Ruby on Rails as open source in July 2004, but did not share commit rights to the project until February 2005.^[10] In August 2006 the framework reached a milestone when Apple announced that it would ship Ruby on Rails with Mac OS X v10.5 “Leopard”,^[11] which was released in October 2007.

Ruby on Rails version 2.3 was released on March 15, 2009. Major new developments in Ruby on Rails include templates, engines, Rack and nested model forms. Templates enable the developer to generate a skeleton application with custom gems and configurations. Engines let one reuse application pieces complete with routes, view paths and models. The Rack web server interface and Metal allow one to write optimized pieces of code that route around ActionController.^[12]

On December 23, 2008, Merb, another web application framework was launched, and Ruby on Rails announced a commitment to work together. The Ruby on Rails team announced they would work with the Merb project to bring “the best ideas of Merb” into Ruby on Rails 3, ending the “unnecessary duplication” across both communities.^[13] Merb was merged with Rails as part of the Rails 3.0 release.^[14][15]

Why Rack should matter to .NET developers

http://www.robustsoftware.co.uk/post/2131023052/why-rack-should-matter-to-dot-net-developers

Rack is a layer of abstraction which sits between servers and frameworks. What it brings as a result is greater interoperability between HTTP server implementations and web frameworks. As the author of a HTTP server if you get your server to speak Rack you can now host applications written in several Ruby frameworks, Sinatra and Rails being two of the most well known.

Scalability: Links, News and Resources (1)

Next Post

Last Monday @federicoboerr mentioned, in a customer internal email list, the importance of considering scalability in most projects. So, I prepared this list of links about the topic (as usual, they were curated using my delicious). Enjoy!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalability

In electronics (including hardware, communication and software) scalability is the ability of a system, network, or process, to handle growing amounts of work in a graceful manner or its ability to be enlarged to accommodate that growth.^[1] For example, it can refer to the capability of a system to increase total throughput under an increased load when resources (typically hardware) are added.
