Yesterday evening, after my brother demonstrated me his good-looking Python WebWare application, I decided to write my own Web Framework in Ruby. The idea of this project is in my head for a very long time, it started to get more concrete in a thread of mine on ruby-talk of subject WebShare (;-) but then I lost it again for some time. Then...

I can’t write all Wee code on my own. So here is a list of things that needs to be done: Make session-id cookies available to both Wee::Request and Wee::PagelessRequest, controlled by an application-wide setting. Finish the implementation of pretty-URLs (this rulez!). Thanks to Joao Pedrosa who is working on this. Implement a...

I’m trying to marry my child Wee with some of Rails features, mainly REST-like, pretty URLs. But before, I have to understand the differencies in how they work. Disclaimer: This is my understanding of how Rails work. I might be wrong. Rails Rails model is very simple compared to that of Wee. The controller class and the method to invoke...

For all of you that experience slowliness with any type of application that uses sockets in Ruby (e.g. WEBrick), try this: Socket.do_not_reverse_lookup = true I’ve now enabled this by default for my Wee::WEBrickAdaptor class, which results in a huge difference in performance.

This night, I hacked up a Table and a Pager component for Wee. The Table component is 140 lines of code (including all HTML generation, nothing else except CSS styles are required), the Pager is 100 lines long. Some days ago, I wrote an OgScaffolder component. It’s damn easy to use. Just pass an Og domain class to OgScaffolder.new, and...

Ploticus is a nice tool to generate diagrams. I wrote a nice wrapper in 143 lines of Ruby code, which makes it easy to use. See yourself: require 'ploticus' pl = Ploticus.new pl.data = (0..10).map {|x| [x, x**2]} pl.area {|a| a.title = "The title of this plot" a.xrange = [0,10] a.yrange = [0,100] } pl.xaxis {|a| a.stubs = "incremental" a.label...

I hacked up a little library which I use in some small projects to automate login into web-pages, extracting data from them and similar things. Web::Unit didn’t work for my purposes, and it was easier to reinvent the wheel than to hack Web::Unit (of course I first tried to hack it…). It depends on narf-lib (>= 0.6.3), more...
