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!

Apple article on Ruby on Rails development

Posted by jpb Tue, 28 Feb 2006 01:43:00 GMT

Apple has a quick introduction to using Ruby on Rails on OS X at http://developer.apple.com/tools/rubyonrails.html.

Covers everything from installation of the toolchain to a nice tutorial that includes using migrations to create and update the database schema.

Overall, a great article for Rails n00bs, even non-Apple using ones.
