Send to Kindle Programming the Web with Ruby Registrations are now open for RubyLearning’s “Pay if you like”, online course on “Programming the Web with Ruby“. The first batch had over 2000 participants. Web-based applications offer many advantages, such as instant access, automatic upgrades, and opportunities for collaboration on a massive scale. However, creating Web applications requires different approaches than traditional applications and involves the integration of numerous technologies. The course topics would hopefully help those that have some knowledge of Ruby programming to get started with web programming (this does not cover Ruby on Rails). Who’s It For? Anyone with some knowledge of Ruby programming. Dates The course starts on Saturday, 29th June 2013 and runs for 2 weeks. Is the course really free? A lot of effort and time goes into building such a course and we would really love that you pay at least US$ 15 for the course. Since this is a “Pay if you Like” course, you are under no obligation to pay and hence the course would be free for you. For those who contribute US$ 15, we shall email them a copy of the book (.pdf) “Programming the Web with Ruby” – the course is based on this book. How do I register and pay the course fees? First, create an account on the site and then pay the fees of US$ 15 by clicking on the PayPal button After payment of the fees please send us your name to satish [at] rubylearning [dot] org so that we can send you the eBook, which normally takes place within 48 hours. If you want to take the course for free, please just create an account and send us your name (as mentioned above).

The Phraseology Project was originally setup by Drew Melton as a way for him to hone his typography skills. The idea is that people submit words or phrases and Drew, or a guest contributor, creates a typographic treatment of the submissions.

Geo data can be stored either as an array such as [ 55.5, 42.3 ] or embedded documents such as { lng : 55.5 , lat : 42.3 }. For the embedded document, do the property names have to be "lat" and "lng"? Also, there is talk of a "legacy coordinate pair", which I do not understand. Is that a separate format from either of these?

If you download the complete Android SDK as of 14th May 2013 and later, Google has changed the structure of the SDK such that... [Read More]

I'm starting to learn Django and have been reading through the djangobook.com. I am able to get the code running when I come to Chapter 6: The Django Admin Site, but it looks nothing like the well-formed and well-styled screenshots in the documentation.
