The Linux Journal (LJ) makes its Ruby predictions for 2008: http://www.linuxjournal.com/node/1005977 The same LJ writer, Pat Eyler, made his _2007_ predictions...
The only prediction that is not forward looking is the Rails training on DVD. My prediction is that there will be more screencasts and online training. It is...
Merb is a great project- it's being developed actively by a number of smart rubyists, and growing at a tremendous pace. Compared to rails, merb is already 2-4x...
Did you guys see this rant from Zed Shaw http://www.zedshaw.com/rants/rails_is_a_ghetto.html. I knew he was pretty blunt but here he goes all out against...
I read/skimmed this yesterday. It makes me feel bad for him. Like most people I love using Mongrel, but it only takes you a few seconds to realize that Zed...
In spite of all his attacks against others in the ruby/rails community, the person who comes off the worst in his post is Zed himself. Not only is he his own...
David Naffis will be giving a talk on Adding Media to your Rails Application at the January DCRUG on 1/17/08. Additional details to follow. *Date & Time ...
I am co-organizing an event at the end of the month that will be a great place for web (Ruby on Rails, etc.) developers and development teams to connect. Some...
It appears ActiveRecord has more flexible than Hibernate when accessing objects with relationships. For example, supposed I have a one-to-many relationship....
I don't have much experience with Hibernate, but your understanding of ActiveRecord seems correct. With your example you will have the following options for...
You can accomplish the same thing in hibernate. Map the object, then write extra getter/setter methods for the id. These are going to be a little more ...
... write ... I tried that and the runtime complained that there were two references to the same thing. There were two setters and getters; one was the getter...
Hi Tom - Here is an example of one way you can make it work using hibernate: @Entity public Book { @Id private String id; @Column(name = "PUBLISHER_ID") ...
Thanks Matt - that did it. I didn't want to talk too much about Hibernate in a Ruby forum without putting in context - comparing the differences with...
Today's DCRUG has been cancelled due to inclement weather - Dave Naffis' talk will be rescheduled for sometime in late February. The next DCRUG will be...
... for the past week+ about this month's RUG but have not had much luck. Until I hear otherwise, I'm going to assume that Xandy is (hopefully well and)...
Here's what I know: Xandy is hella busy lately. I'm not far behind him. He's alive and doing well, and will eventually catch up on all of this email. FGM's...
I can help with the hosting if you need it. I usually attend all of the NovaRUG meetings anyway, so hosting it is no big deal. If someone besides Xandy wants...
I would be willing to present on Web Application Security, specifically with Rails. Christopher Williams Iterative Designs LLC http://www.iterativedesigns.com ...
Yes, at FGM (12021 Sunset Hill Dr., Reston). I will cross post the annoucement in a week or so (put it on DC Tech Events Weekly, etc.). Russ is a member of...
I would be interested in that topic, and can commit to being here to 'FGM-host' it. Xandy has the room scheduled for Feb 20th (6:00 to 9 PM). So, if you want...
I asked him, and unfortunately Russ only has promotional copies, that he is not allowed to sell. Regardless, we will have two copies at least to give away...
If FGM is a problem, Blue Collar Objects could host NOVARUG meetings. Our headquarters building is close to the junction of 50 and 66. Not Tysons or Reston,...
Anyone have a reasonably professional video recorder available for recording the next NovaRUG/JUG meeting? Russ and I are interesting in trying to create an...
