Most of the ruby related music libs have come from the Portland crew but most of them deal with MIDI or generative stuff. Here's some links, but not sure that...
Fortunately, I have met few self-appointed heroic programmers over the years. However, late last year I was saddened to met another. People on truly agile...
The only thing I disagree with here is that inline comments are generally a code smell. What I mean by that is that you should comment a method, mostly so...

All - I've got a sample Swing app, a Fahrenheit <--> Celsius converter (the Hello World app of the GUI world ;)), which I've translated into JRuby. If it's...
What about showing the use of ActiveScaffold? I've integrated it into the Restful Authentication example application. It provides a lot of functionality with...

I have been on several projects that have considered it (including one of the one's Dave Medinets was on). The major reason a couple projects chose against...
