Hey all, I have a question for the hivemind. I want to know if anyone's used a Decorator Pattern in Ruby in any honest-to-God production code. We have a...
IMO, the decorator pattern is not appropriate for this problem and that is why it is not working out well. It is intended to dynamically add new functionality...
Anthony, And that may well be the case. The full use case is roughly the same as any configurator. The particular options you have available are: 1) Pick a...
So in Rails there's something called OrderedHash, is everyone familiar with this? Actually, it's only in Rails if you're running Ruby 1.8 series - if you're...
