Administrator — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 11:03:27 +0000

Rails 2.0 and Scaffolding Step by Step. Ruby on Rails 2.0 was released by the Rails core team on Friday, December 7th. There were quite a few changes in the 2.0 release, including the way that Rails generates scaffolding code. This change will probably cause trouble for people using tutorials written for previous versions of Rails. I hope this tutorial will help readers get started with Rails 2.0 and keep the community of Rails developers growing.

What is Roxer? Roxer takes a new approach to making web pages, based on the idea that you should never have to bother with code. With Roxer anyone can make visually stunning and fully functional web pages online using only a web browser. Editing is even easier. To rearrange your content, just click and drag items where you want them. To change your text, just click and type. To move content from one page to another, just copy and paste. Best of all, you will be doing these things to your web page from your web page. It’s that easy!

Inopressa: Вокруг света. Алкоголическая одиссея в восьми похмельях

Inopressa: Вокруг света. Алкоголическая одиссея в восьми похмельях Русские пьют, потому что в их душе присутствует какая-то глубокая печаль, которую они стараются подавить. Они пьют совсем иначе, чем кто-либо другой. У них нет времени на бары, на комфорт, на механическую музыку. Они просто просыпаются, открывают бутылку и начинают. Я полюбил их, душевных и забавных, но этот демон, скрывающийся за фасадом, похоже, преследует всю страну. О, а еще нам с Питом пришлось танцевать Morris dance, на сцене, перед российской танцевальной школой, и это было очень мило.

Google Spreadsheets Adds Import Functions, Auto-Fill

Google Spreadsheets Adds Import Functions, Auto-Fill Google Spreadsheets just got a bit more powerful. There are four new cell functions to automatically import external data: importXml, importData, importHtml and googleReader.

For instance, importXML has two parameters, URL and an XPath query. Entering =importXML("http://waxy.org/links/", "//a/@href”) into a Google Spreadsheets cell and hitting return will load all links from the Waxy.org link blog in the subsequent cells. (I’m not sure if this data is automatically updated or if it’s a one-time fill, though it seems to be auto-updating.) A similar feature had been around in online spreadsheets competitor EditGrid, and so far set EditGrid apart from Spreadsheets in that regard.

Google AJAX Feed API - Developer Guide With the AJAX Feed API, you can download any public Atom or RSS feed using only JavaScript, so you can easily mash up feeds with your content and other APIs like the Google Maps API. To use the API, you need to sign up for an API key, and then follow the instructions below.

The API is new, so there may be bugs and slightly less than perfect documentation. Bear with us as we fill in the holes, and join the AJAX APIs developer forum to give feedback and discuss the API.

Ruby zone » Рекурсивный листинг директорий

Administrator — Thu, 30 Aug 2007 20:09:46 +0000

Ruby zone » Recursive directory listing В PHP или других языках чтобы получить содержимое директории и всех ее поддиректорий, нужно написать несколько строк кода, в Ruby же это займет 2 строчки:

require ‘find’
Find.find(’./’) do |f| p f end

- это напечатает содержимое текущей директории и всех ее поддиректорий.

Или даже короче, можно использовать нотацию ’**’ : p Dir[’**/*.*’]
Сколько нужно написать кода для того же на PHP или Java?
