Rails steht schon länger auf der Liste von Dingen die ich lernen will daher sein hier das Posting From CodeIgniter to Ruby on Rails: A Conversion erwähnt:

Throughout this tutorial, we’ll create a simple shoutbox application in CodeIgniter, and then port it over to Ruby on Rails. We’ll be comparing the code between the two applications to see where they are similar, and where they differ. Learning Rails is much easier if you are already familiar with an MVC (Model, View, Controller) framework structure.

Aus Steve Souders neuem Buch: Even Faster Web Sites gibt es eine interessante Übersicht über Möglichkeiten JavaScripte einzubinden in seinem Blog:

There are six main techniques for downloading scripts without blocking:

• XHR Eval - Download the script via XHR and eval() the responseText.
• XHR Injection - Download the script via XHR and inject it into the page by creating a script element and setting its text property to the responseText.
• Script in Iframe - Wrap your script in an HTML page and download it as an iframe.
• Script DOM Element - Create a script element and set its src property to the script’s URL.
• Script Defer - Add the script tag’s defer attribute. This used to only work in IE, but is now in Firefox 3.1.
• document.write Script Tag - Write the HTML into the page using document.write. This only loads script without blocking in IE.

Im Blog WordPress Bits weist Leonid Mamchenkov auf die Möglichkeit hin ein eigenes wp-content/install.php File anzulegen und Kontrolle über den Installationsprozess von WordPress zu bekommen.

I’ve heard many people who want to start with “General” category, not “Uncategorized”. And if you are making lots of WordPress-based web sites, than first post, page, and comment probably don’t make much sense – you remove them right after the installation. If you are WordPress installations for corporate clients, you often want to lose the default links (as much as you love WordPress developers, links to their blogs don’t make much sense from your clients’ web sites).

wp_install_defaults() is the place to do all that. Copy it to your custom install.php . If you want to start with a clean WordPress installation – remove all lines in that function. Just delete them. So that you have only the function definition and nothing else. Otherwise, add and edit the lines accordingly. Most of the stuff you see in WordPress’ function definition are SQL statements anyway. So you can put your own ones here

Sehr, sehr cooll. Man sollte sich doch häufiger die Zeit nehmen und mal in den Sourcecode schauen.

• Nodereference Explorer | drupal.org
  The overall purpose of the Nodereference Explorer module is to provide a comfortable and user-friendly way of referencing content. Content authors should be able to link internal arbitrary nodes, e. g. content types such as pages, stories, news, images etc., to each other. Typical use-cases are for instance: * Reuse of assets, such as images, audio and video clips for display on other pages * Providing a list of links to internal pages
