Wow. Time flies doesn’t it.
- GitSharp
Git for .NET. Head explodes as my two worlds collide. - The bar for success in our industry is too low – (37signals)
These days, “success” is defined as the potential to make a lot of money at some unspecified date (once we figure out the right business model of course). I agree with Jason and think it’s time we get back to listening to Grandpa’s advice – “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush!” - Hey, PAC man. Sup, subdomains !
Good article on using subdomains (particularly locally) with Rails apps. Also introduces Rack::CustomDomain – rack middleware for switching on custom domains / CNAME support for your customers. - Ruby on Rails Integration – compass
Updated documentation + screencast added to show how to integrate compass (my favorite!) and Rails. If you haven’t tried this yet, you need to. Today. - acts_without_database
A plugin for using an ActiveRecord model without a backing database. - A Wealth Of Ruby Loops And Iterators
A bunch of examples here showing different ways to iterate in Ruby. - Scott Hanselman’s 2009 Ultimate Developer and Power Users Tool List for Windows
Scott’s annual(?) tools list always has some great finds for a developer’s toolkit (particularly the .NET crowd). Very Windows-centric, but some good stuff here (web apps, etc) with crossover appeal.
