In continuing the discussion of DCI, I've written a bit about what purpose the Context serves. It's not just a new junk drawer to use extend with objects and modules.

Built on Authlogic they provide the views and controllers that Authlogic does not provide . Great for a drop-in authentication system .

Sidekiq is my new message processor for Rails 3 apps. It aims to be Resque-compatible but much, much more efficient because it uses threads rather than multiple processes. Read the wiki or the code.

Ruby allows you to overload the arithmetic operators (as well as a few others).  This allows you define what a + b mean, even though a and b are types that you have defined.  This can lead to some very compact and expressive high-level code, as well as allowing you to implement some idiomatic Rubyisms (such as ...Read Full Post

The 'split' method isn't the only fish in the sea.  The 'partition' method is similar, but doesn't consume the split string.

The Flip-Flop operator is an odd thing.  It uses the range syntax, but doesn't produce a Range object.  Sometimes, it's true, sometimes it's false, but most of the time it's just confusion.  Should you be using it in your code?  That's up to you, but you really should know about the flip-flop operator, should you ever encounter it.

Most languages don't have any concept of a "range."  To iterate over some numbers, you either define a minimum and maximum and iterate with a typical loop, or use a combination of comparison operators.  Ruby, on the other hand, has Ranges out of the box, and they can be used in a number of intuitive ways....Read Full Post

Did you know that you can make any of your classes act like Ruby collections?  You can use any of the methods you'd typically use on collections (like Arrays and Hashes) on your classes by simply implementing the each method and including the Enumerable module.  Also, if the elements of your collection implement the spaceship () operator, your collection can even be sorted! Read more about using the enumerable module.

Java.  That single word is enough to turn many programmers away.  If you're one of those people (and even if you aren't), you should read on why you should be using JRuby.  It's perhaps not what you think it is, and certainly has its advantages.
