Beginning Rails testing | Everyday Rails
I admit that I was guilty for a long time of not writing any tests for my Rails applications. My application testing consisted of an unhealthy reliance on in-browser testing, with nothing automated. I blame this on coming from a very unstructured way of developing code before I discovered Rails; I also think the early Rails demonstrations (15-minute blog) and tutorials focused on rapid application
3 Rails documentation tools | Everyday Rails
If you’ve been using Reek to help in refactoring your Rails applications, you might run across warnings of Irresponsible Modules— that is, code with no comments to help explain what it does. A common knock on the Rails community is that we don’t document our code. I hate to admit it, but it’s fair. My own Rails project folders are full of uncommented methods and mysterious model attributes. If I c
3 Rails refactoring tools | Everyday Rails
Refactoring—the practice of making your working code better and more manageable through better design choices—is an important part of software development. It’s core to test-driven and behavior-driven methods, but if you’re not yet following the red-green-recycle mantra in your development, you may have yet to experience refactoring in practice. There are plenty of resources on refactoring; today
Mobile Rails applications, part 2: jQTouch with Rails 3 | Everyday Rails
Mobile Rails applications, part 2: jQTouch with Rails 3 In my last post I shared my first steps toward creating a mobile version of a Rails application. I looked at the Mobile Fu plugin, but wasn’t happy with how it played with other parts what you might want to do with a Rails application. So referring to a couple of screencasts I moved forward with hand-rolling my mobile detection code—as it tur
Mobile Rails applications, part 1: An overview | Everyday Rails
I’ve spent some time over the last week learning more about creating mobile versions of Rails applications. In the past, I’ve created mobile applications that cater to the lowest common denominator—that is, non-Webkit-based mobile browsers with limited or nonexistent support for CSS or Javascript. This time around, I want to maintain support for these older devices, but also take advantage of the
More free Ruby and Rails books | Everyday Rails
Thank you to everyone who commented on my post about free Ruby and Rails books last week. I learned there are even more good, free books available for download or reading online. Ruby on Rails (HTML, German) I admit I can’t read German, but reader David Osterreicher recommends Ruby on Rails 2 as a good, example-filled introduction to Rails. Ruby Best Practices (PDF) I don’t know how I missed this!
Understanding REST and routes | Everyday Rails
In conversations I have with folks who are working to improve their Rails chops, as well as in comments I’ve received in the short time I’ve been writing this blog, it seems that RESTful routing still causes some grief. With that in mind, I thought I’d provide a list of resources that may help anybody still scratching their heads over the contents of routes.rb, the output of rake routes, or view c
Building Rails apps faster with Nifty Generators, part 3: nifty_scaffold | Everyday Rails
Building Rails apps faster with Nifty Generators, part 3: nifty_scaffold In my last two posts, I shared how I use Ryan Bates’ Nifty Generators gem to create starter layouts for my Rails applications and add a configuration file with variables for use throughout my app. While extremely useful, nifty_layout and nifty_config probably aren’t utilities you’ll make use of day in and day out as your appl
Building Rails apps faster with Nifty Generators, part 2: nifty_config | Everyday Rails
Building Rails apps faster with Nifty Generators, part 2: nifty_config Continuing with my series on the Nifty Generators gem by Ryan Bates (see part 1 on nifty_layout), in this post I want to talk about a second feature this gem provides, called nifty_config. With nifty_config, you can quickly create a set of global variables for your application, dependent on the environment in which your Rails a
Building Rails apps faster with Nifty Generators, part 1: nifty_layout | Everyday Rails
Building Rails apps faster with Nifty Generators, part 1: nifty_layout Moving along with the steps I follow to create a new Rails application, I want to get into a little detail on some of the specific steps I outlined previously. These are the first steps in taking a Rails app beyond the default shell and making it do what you need to get done. While most of the steps I went through last week are
