Ruby for PHP Developers

Ein Ruby Crash Course für PHP Entwickler:

We could say PHP and Ruby (plus a framework) are the most used language in the Internet. There are many reasons, but the best one for our purpose is they are very similar in some points. So we are going to learn Ruby using those points as a support, and, trust me, if you know a little bit more about PHP than echo, it’s going to be pretty easy to learn the basis of Ruby.

HTML to PDF

pdfcrowd klingt spannend, denn man braucht ja häufiger mal eine Webseite als PDF Download, also testen.

• Create PDF from a web page or an uploaded HTML document.
• Control PDF options including page dimensions, margins, encryption, permissions, initial view, etc.
• You can upload an HTML document packed together with external images and Stylesheets.
• No third party libraries needed.
• The API is available virtually on any platform that supports HTTP.
• When security is a concern, the API can be called over HTTPS.

Learning Rails

Bei O’Reilly gibt es einen Auszug aus dem Buch Learning Rails.

Dort wird auch Heroku erwähnt:

Heroku is a completely novel approach to deploying web applications. Forget about servers; the fundamental unit is the app. Use the Heroku client gem to create and manage apps from the command line. Then deploy your code with Git, and control the running app with the remote Ruby console and rake commands.

Ach, die Rails Welt scheint auch sehr spannend zu sein.

(update)
Ich sehe gerade es gibt noch weitere Auszüge:
An Incredibly Brief Guide to Regular Expressions, A Catalog of Helper Methods und An Incredibly Brief Introduction to Relational Databases.

OpenBook: Praxiswissen Ruby on Rails

JavaScript development, testing and deployment environment

Frizione klingt nach einem coolen Projekt, aber irgendwie blicke ich das nicht. Es tut nicht was ich will Aber wahrscheinlich muss ich mir das mal in Ruhe ansehen.

Frizione is a JavaScript development, testing and

deployment environment. It comprises a library agnostic set of tools for any type of browser based JavaScript development, which coincidentally has Gears support.

Frizione provides local JSLint checking of your JavaScript code.

Frizione provides joining (concatenation) of JavaScript files to produce unique libraries.

Frizione uses the YUICompressor to reduce your JavaScript code to the bone.

Frizione provides a two stage unit testing framework, using your JavaScript code and a minimum framework to run the tests, which are stored to hard disk in JSON format. The results can then be displayed using a second unit test viewer page.
