  • Ruby on Rails
    • Putting Flickr on Rails

    Ruby on Rails is not just for playing with your local database, it's for taking on the web. So in 5 minutes, we create a web-based search engine for Flickr using their public API with all the fades and glamour of Ajax. How's that for a low-tech alternative to something fancy like Flash.
    Evolving your database schema without a sweat

    Before you know it, you'll have data that you care about in your application. Which makes adding, removing, or changing the schema an error-prone, time-consuming, and frustrating process. That is, unless you're using Ruby on Rails. In 20 minutes, you'll learn all about how database migrations can make your schema as flexible as your code with no fear of data loss.
    Creating a weblog in 15 minutes

    In 15 minutes, we go from scratch to complete weblog engine: with comments and an administrative interface. But since the actual application only took 58 lines to complete, we also have time left over to do unit testing, examine the logs, and play around with the domain model.
