Controller Testing in Active Scaffold

I just started my adventure with rails a few nights ago. Figured that Active Scaffold based controllers do something that is different from the default controllers generated by the scaffold generator.

GNUnify 07 — an amazing event

GNUnify 07 at Symbiosis was a great event.

Sriram and me spoke on eclipse plug-in development on behalf of The Pune Eclipse Developers’ Group

The talk by A. Sundararajan from Sun on opensourcing the Java implementation (OpenJDK) from Sun was very interesting.

Moinak Ghosh from Sun gave a demo on some of the advanced features of OpenSolaris.

Also got an opportunity to meet Narayan Raman and Vivek Prahlad who’d developed Sahi and frankenstein.

Having found some time off from my regular work, I’ve decided to play catchup with Ruby, more specifically the Ruby-on-rails stack.

I’ve downloaded ruby 1.8.5, and ruby gems, the package manager.

  • the documentation, and the way it is organized
  • some good ruby enthusiasts (read: bloggers)
  • frameworks available, I found out there’s a RubyForge
  • help wanted” on open-source ruby projects
