Do you know how to make Javascript work for IE5/5.5? We’d love to get some help making the new Javascript helpers as compatible as possible. So if you got the chops, please take a look at making sure that the prototype.js library and the associated helpers work on IE5/5.5. For more information, get in touch with me (nextangle) on...

Apparently, Ruby-FastCGI is one leaky pipe. It’s currently happily disposing of up to 16K per request. Not particularly helpful for the long-running processes like FastCGIs. But have no fear, Kirk Haines is near. And plugged the holes, he has. Read all about the patch and get it from Kirk’s FCGI Patch for Ruby FCGI 0.8.5 page...

Let me tell you where you’re going to be on October 14th through 16th. You’re going to be in San Diego, California. That’s right. RubyConf just opened the doors for the preregistration (which incidentally is a Rails app by David Black) and I managed to grab the entry with ID = 1 in the database. So you know I’m going to...

With the inclusion of Ajax helpers in Rails 0.11.0, we’ve addressed the most important concern holding back large scale Ajax use: Writing DHTML by hand. Manipulating the DOM by hand is a labor-intensive and error-prone process rife with frustration and cross-browser compatibility. With the Ajax support in Rails, writing manual...

O’Reilly is getting on board the Rails too. Their first book is going to be the Rails Developer Notebook, which as the name suggests is part of their Developer’s Notebooks series: The Developer’s Notebook series is for early adopters of leading-edge technologies who want to get up to speed quickly on what they can do now with...

I’m incredibly proud to announce the third Rails book in the making. The title is “Pragmatic Rails Recipes: A Guide to Elegant Web Development” and the authors should be very familiar to the Rails community: Marcel Molina (noradio) and Scott Barron (htonl). They’ve been around since the first release and are both...

The fifth international Ruby conference is happening in San Diego, California from October 14th until 16th. You have to come. I went last year and had the most wonderful three days in the company of most of the best Ruby hackers. I’m so most definitely going again this year. You have to come.

I forgot to mention that a new and much improved version of RubyGems was made available a while back. The new version makes it a lot easier to install Rails with all of the dependencies thanks to the added --include-dependencies option and you can cleanup older versions of Rails with the new cleanup command. The RubyGems team also started using...
