Building Backbone.js Apps With Ruby, Sinatra, MongoDB and Haml Introduction In this post we're going to explore writing Backbone.js applications with a Ruby back-end. To assist with this, we're going to use Sinatra – a DSL (domain specific language) for rapidly creating web applications in Ruby. OS X Simplified history of Unix-like operating systems.

Getting started with Heroku Getting started with Heroku This guest post is by Ben Scofield, who is Heroku’s developer advocate, responsible for listening to the tens of thousands of developers deploying their Ruby applications to the cloud. He’s spoken at many conferences around the world, and in 2010 became the co-chair for RailsConf. Introduction Heroku has been in the news a lot lately, and it’s been a popular choice for Ruby application developers for a few years.If you haven’t worked with it before, here’s your chance — it’s designed to be as painless as possible to get going, and to give a powerful, stable, and scalable platform for your code.

Quartz Composer Patches[edit] Quartz programming through Quartz Composer works by implementing and connecting patches.[4] Similar to routines in traditional programming languages, patches are base processing units. They execute and produce a result. For better performance, patch execution follows a lazy evaluation approach, meaning that patches are only executed when their output is needed. There are three types of patches: Consumers, Processors, and External Input patches that can receive and output mouse clicks, scrolls, and movements; MIDI and audio; keyboard; or other movements.

Ruby in Twenty Minutes Introduction This is a small Ruby tutorial that should take no more than 20 minutes to complete. It makes the assumption that you already have Ruby installed. (If you do not have Ruby on your computer install it before you get started.) Interactive Ruby Ruby comes with a program that will show the results of any Ruby statements you feed it. String str % arg → new_str click to toggle source Format—Uses str as a format specification, and returns the result of applying it to arg. If the format specification contains more than one substitution, then arg must be an Array or Hash containing the values to be substituted. See Kernel::sprintf for details of the format string. static VALUE rb_str_format_m(VALUE str, VALUE arg) { volatile VALUE tmp = rb_check_array_type(arg); if (!NIL_P(tmp)) { return rb_str_format(RARRAY_LENINT(tmp), RARRAY_PTR(tmp), str); } return rb_str_format(1, &arg, str); }

Rigid body tutorial Note: The display order of triangles depends on the creation order, the latest is drawn last, so it will be on the top. Control and Shift keys modify the selection behaviour when clicking with the mouse. Shift adds the current vertex to the selected vertices, while Control inverts selection. Roadmap for Learning Rails Accelerating Your Learning If you have no prior development experience, one of the worst things you can do when learning Rails is to just dive in. Some of the concepts build on each other, so jumping in would be like signing up for a calculus class before you’ve learned algebra. Sure, you could muddle through it, but most of your time would be spent trying to figure out why things aren’t working.
