Resources for “Ruby on Rails”
August 24th, 2005 by Reuven M. Lerner in
Ruby on Rails is an open-source project hosted at www.rubyonrails.com. This site not only hosts a great de al of code but also much documentation, demos (including movies) and mailing lists for Rails enthusiasts.
Download the latest copy of Gems from RubyForge, at rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126.
As of this writing, there is no printed book about Rails. However, the Pragmatic Programmers have released a beta version of the book they intend to publish in late summer 2005 in PDF form. The latest information about both the book and its current status are available at http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com.
O'Reilly's “OnLamp” site has published several articles about Ruby on Rails. One good introductory article is at www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/01/20/rails.html?page=1.
The Ruby home page is at www.ruby-lang.org. This page has many links to other sites, including tutorials and documentation, for the Ruby language.
If you are interested in a printed reference, the book Programming Ruby: The Pragmatic Programmers' Guide, written by Dave Thomas and published by the Pragmatic Programmers, is an excellent starting point.
The WEBrick home page is at www.webrick.org. A nice tutorial on WEBrick, including how to write servlets, is available at rubyurl.com/N3dPn.

There's nuttin like a Cool Project to give you some relief from the summer heat, so get out your parka cuz we got a bunch of em. First up is the BUG, not a bug, The BUG. It's got a GPS, camera and more, in a hand-sized package that's user programmable. The BUG does everything. It's both a floor wax and a dessert topping. Get one now. Need a software version of a Swiss Army knife? Take a look at Billix, and don't leave home without it. Then, chew on this one, an X server on a Gumstix device driving an E-Ink display. Need more storage? How about 16 Terabytes? Can do.
And, of course, we have the usual cast of characters: Marcel, Reuven, Dave, Kyle, Doc, plus the new kid on the block Shawn Powers. But it doesn't stop there: build a MythTV box on a budget, build your own GIS system, set up the tools to monitor your enterprise and more. Finally, remember The War of the Worlds? Now you can play too.
