So many little changes

Posted: 6 weeks ago (2010-07-21 02:07:44 UTC )

Lots more updates to the Rails 3 Refactor It tutorial pages and github repo. More little tweaks to the blog here and there.

I'm definitely feeling the happy burnout right now, but lots of good stuff is getting done. Some of it's at work, but interesting stuff is going on.

An update to CheapToad should be (finally) happening soon. They added versioning to the notices URL, which is nice. They changed to XML format on the data, which is okay. They switched to using a real gem (finally!). So, y'know, go them, overall.

Tutorial ready

Part One of the Refactor It Rails 3 tutorial and part two of the same are ready for reading. Have a look!

New Rails 3 tutorial started

I'm starting a tutorial on writing the Refactor It app in Rails 3. Not coincidentally, I've added a "pages" section to this blog to more easily code up Rails views with little to no controller logic backing them up, but access to Rails plugins and helpers (like Harsh, the syntax formatter I'm using).

Passenger was easy to install...

Cool. Now I just need to configure the app properly to send email.

Refactor It has reached MVP status

The new simple project I've been working on, tentatively called "Refactor It", is now a Minimum Viable Product. You can find the code on GitHub. It should shortly be available as Refactor It on refactor.angelbob.com, as soon as I switch to Passenger -- Mongrel doesn't fully play nice with Rails 2.3.8. I may get it its own domain, depending how I feel about it.

There's plenty of polish that hasn't happened, especially visually. Still, it's among the prettiest version 0.1 products I've produced.

Work continues apace...

Refactor It (or whatever it gets called when it's releasable) isn't quite a Minimum Viable Product yet, but it's headed that way at high speed.

Basic AJAX voting stuff works now, for instance.

Still need to add a lot of user and authentication stuff. I probably just won't allow voting unless you're logged in for the first draft.
