Rails for Designers

Posted by jpb Wed, 22 Mar 2006 12:54:00 GMT

Kevin Clark posted a nice Rails overview for designers here. It’s a nice (and brief) intro about how things work in Rails that’s useful reading for anyone beginning to use Rails, not just designers.

And since 1.1 is just around the corner, it’s a good time to start reading up.

Enkoder - Rails plugin to encode emails and other data as javascript so it can't be scraped.

Posted by jpb Thu, 16 Mar 2006 18:48:00 GMT

Dan Benjamin announced Enkoder on his Hivelogic blog.

Enkoder translates email addresses into javascript, so humans can use them but scumbag scammers can’t scrape them off of your pages for their databases. Read more details at Dan’s blog.

Thanks Dan!

Neat Textmate helper

Posted by jpb Sat, 11 Mar 2006 13:28:00 GMT

There’s a neat little Rails application at http://keyref.octopod.info/ that you can paste TextMate’s shortcut list into (command-option-control-k from an edit window) and it’ll let you pick a group of bundles and then email you a PDF cheatsheet.

I keep wanting to switch to TextMate, but my fingers still want to use vi.
