Mr. Davidson saying that “FastCGI is weak sauce” and HTTP is were it’s at. Damn right. I am glad to see the Rails community is coming realizing the power of HTTP.
I am not going to be able to attend RailsConf this year. That means I have one RailsConf ticket I would like to sell at face value ($400 US). I also have a conference rate ($100/night) hotel reservation for June 22-26 at the Wyndham O’Hare that I will transfer to whomever buys the ticket. If [...]

I am always interested in how RESTful behaviors are implemented, regardless of the language and environment used so I went and had a little peek at [...]

Each track at the conference costs a different amount and attendees can sign up for more than one track. We already have an accounting infrastructure that has a concept of a “product”, which [...]
Charlie has released his take on a RestController for Rails. That is very sweet. It is great to see more work on RESTful Rails. It seems to me that each attempt gets closer to an approach I could believe in and be proud of. And, I get a warm fuzzy feeling any time I see [...]
This month’s DeRailed meeting is this Wednesday, March 15. The agenda looks very interesting, including a session about the differences in RoR 1.1. I missed the inaugural meeting last month but think I am going to be able to make it to this one.
My very first Rails app went live today. The project had a very tight deadline and we managed to go live only three days late which, in my book, is on time. Interestingly, this is the very first application that I have deployed live on the Internet. Prior to this all my web application experience [...]
