April Fool's Day 2008 |
April 1, 2008
This year's internet-based April Fool's jokes were a complete let-down. Google did something with time-based emails. *yawn* Digg made symbols appear instead of numbers when you would digg an article. Wowhead.com turned their page white instead of black and worst of all World of Warcraft has been down since lunchtime when I first tried it. What a depressing day. I can't even find any politicians being had or anything.

Book Recommendation:
Agile Web Development with Rails is the defacto-standard for learning the Ruby on Rails web framework. Now in its second edition, this book provides knowledge of the latest and greatest development techniques to aid in advanced web-based application development. It enables developers to create full-featured, sophisticated applications using less code and less effort. This book contains sample applications using database migrations, Ajax, REST interfaces, and illustrates many new Rails features. There are new chapters on active support, active record, and action controller (including the new resources-based routing). The web 2.0 and deployment chapters appear to have been completely rewritten to reflect the latest thinking. You can learn which environments are best for your style application, and see how Capistrano makes managing your site really simple. For learning Ruby on Rails, this book is simply the best available. |
