Hello, all, I have a few Rails apps in production, running on Rails 1.2.3. I've been holding off on upgrading until they were fairly stable, but now it seems ...
Ever considered creating a branch in your SVN repository? That will afford you the ability to "sandbox" your upgrade while maintaining the branch which is on...
Michael, This isn't trivial, but it probably isn't as bad as you are fearing (as long as you have good test coverage) There are several things that will help...
David, Thank you for your advice. I really appreciate it. Happily, my test coverage is pretty good, so at least I can count on that. I can't wait to rewrite...
David et al, I will take the back slot, unless someone else is already filling or the topic too far out, and it with something along a similar vain. I'd like...
I understand the need for encouraging and bringing in new people and bring them up to speed, but, at the same time, there may be a need for a more deeper dive...
Offering regularly scheduled "Intro to Ruby" classes might be a good way to bring in new people and offer old timers a chance to teach.?? In parallel there...
