Oracle Database is a product with a distinguished past and a bright future. It boasts innovative, state-of-the-art features as well as a history that predates many modern technologies. Applications have come and gone, but the data of organizations has liv
I’m sad to say that I have to recommend people not use lighttpd anymore. The author hasn’t updated the mod_proxy plugin and isn’t providing too much support for the bugs it has. If you’re running lighttpd and you constantly see 500 errors that are
A former student asked me a few days ago how I learned Ruby on Rails. The answer was that I simply read alot of great tutorials. So in the spirit of sharing, here are the 12 tutorials that I found most useful:
I get a lot of emails about packing and distributing Rails applications with Tar2RubyScript and RubyScript2Exe. It obviously wasn't easy to come up with the steps that have to be taken to transform a Rails application into a standalone application. Since
When looking at my own Rails code and that of the community as a whole, I often see places where certain Rails techniques could have been used, but weren't. As much for my own memory as yours, I thought I'd list down some Rails tricks and tips that can ma

There's a lot of buzz around the Ruby on Rails framework at the moment. Something that doesn't get a lot of attention is it's scalability solution: FastCGI. Partly because it doesn't seem very exciting on first glance and partly because it's so fundamenta
Lets imagine that you have a list view of some data which takes a long time to generate, one second or so to suck the data from the database. This is unreasonable for a site of any proportion, and you certainly don’t want to re-run query every time some
O intuito do treinamento é desenvolver uma aplicação web completa, que va desde o banco de dados até o uso de AJAX em toda sua camada de visualização. O foco do curso é o pragmatismo, sendo que os conceitos da linguagem estarão em um segundo plano
"Each pattern describes a problem which occurs over and over again in our environment, and then describes the core of the solution to that problem, in such a way that you can use this solution a million times over, without ever doing it the same way twice
This surprises even me, but I’m not sure what is the best way to provide multiple templates, sidebars, etc. (i.e. typical layout/templating stuff) before I read this. Formerly I exclusively use partials, now I know there’s another way, the content_for
On Wednesday in Frankfurt at the PHP International Conference I gave a fairly general talk on issues in Web frameworks. I had fun making a graph comparing Java, PHP, and Rails, and you might enjoy it too. [Update: Theserverside.com has a grossly inaccurat

Charles Nutter gives an update on his JRuby work in a recent blog post. He notes the ability to run JRuby as an applet, and points to ways of executing a Rails application inside the Glassfish application server.
Muito provavelmente este código não está otimizado ao máximo. Se alguém vir pontos que podem ser otimizados, por favor, me avisem! Outra coisa: ele ainda não foi homologado junto ao banco, mas esta é a parte mais fácil. Se você tiver que utilizar

Most web applications have many more model objects exposed on the backend, or admin side, than they do on the front. Coding interfaces for all those models is redundant and a waste of resources when all you need is CRUD functionality that’s smart enough
Behold, behold, Rails 2.0 is almost here. But before we can slap on the final stamp, we’re going to pass through a couple of trial release phases. The first is this preview release, which allows you to sample the goodies in their almost finished state.
