Hi Lori, I am the CTO at a company that currently develops WebObjects applications. We're investigating using Ruby on Rails for a couple of new projects. I was...

I think it is now sold out. One of the guys I work with had to get his ticket on Ebay ( for half what I paid!) Paul ... From: Lori Olson <loriolson@...> ...
Hi Brendan, As I said, in April the session will be highlights from the Canada on Rails conference. In May, Alex Verkovsky has volunteered to give a talk...
Crap. You are correct. Interesting that I didn't get that new posting via my RSS feed. Anyway, if anyone is still interested, EBay, or someone was posting on...
I have been learning to do test-driven development with rails. Rather than using fixtures to set up my model, I tried just writing a method that created an...
Hi Vlad! No it wouldn't be multithreaded (I assume you are suggesting the multiple test methods might be invoked at the same time). Test cases (That follow the...
Hi Aaron, It's nice to see you're here too! I don't have the code anymore, but I'll try to summarize the problem, at least to the extent that I remember what...
Looking at the code, things should work. Not knowing what is happening in your ReportingYear model object makes it difficult to know. I can only guess that the...
I've run into a problem where a method called on a model object inside of a view (.rhtml file) generates an application exception. On our current Java project,...
A *hack* for your problem might look like this: Your SomeController's helper module: module SomeHelper def safe_invoker(object, method_symbol, *args) begin ...
No. I'm suggesting that you should avoid it if possible. In your previous email, you said (of your Java application) that the DTO contains all the information...
Interesting. In the Java code I am working with for my present project, we do indeed go to the trouble of converting all domain objects into a 'dto' object...
I've considered doing something similar on the Java project I am currently working on. But I think what you are talking about is not technically a DTO, but...
... You're most probably right. We do call them DTO's here, but on the other hand we're not actually bringing over data via a remote method call, which I think...
Hi, ... If you follow the way of the framework, then your model should only propagate exceptions for unexpected or irrecoverable errors. In other words, those...

Posted an entry to my blog over the weekend about setting up Ruby and Rails to run from a keydrive (thumbdrive) on machines without Ruby installed and no admin...
Thanks to all who attended tonight's session. It was great to have all the interactive feedback! Thanks again to Alex and Thoughtworks for supplying the...

I have a feeling I'm a visible minority, but if crusers is going to turn into just another rails hype machine (yeah it's cool, but there's more to Ruby than...
But what better way to learn Ruby than to have a good framework to base your learning upon? I was learning Java at the same time I was learning how to program ...
... Not everyone here is at the learning stage (I'm not). Not everyone here is interested in webapps (I am). I don't feel my interest is about to slip...
I'd encourage more presentations on the language itself. Unfortunately (or fortunately!), Rails seems to be the catalyst that is bringing many developers to...
When learning Ruby, I'd rather see people work through Programming Ruby, _then_ check out the Rails book. I'm not a fan of learning APIs (or frameworks, for...
