Ruby (and Rails) Link Dump
April 30th, 2007 -- by Augie De Blieck Jr.
In case you’ve been wondering what computer language I’ve been learning this year, this link dump should provide a clue or two:
Ruby Articles:
- Five Things You Didn’t Know You Could Do with Ruby
- Top 30 Ruby on Rails Tutorials
- Rails Live CD: Live Linux CD Distro specifically for Rails
- Essential Ruby books. I’m almost afraid to admit to how many of them I own.
- Working With Rails: business using Ruby
- Real World Rails: A list of websites running Rails.
- Imagine if John K. directed a Ruby on Rails ad. Shudder.
- RLisp: Makes my head explode just looking at it.

August! [shakes fist] You are not meant to be on holiday, not doing this blog. We know you love us but go back and chill out by the beach, Ron is doing perfectly fine in your absence.
Anyhow that Ruby stuff looks really complicated. The only language I’ve done is a bit of Visual Basic (it is a language right?) in school last year, and it was pretty tedious to be honest.

Oh crap that should read, “you are meant to be on holiday”, sorry about the typo.

I think these posts were pre-programmed by Augie to appear on these dates. Which is odd, because in a situation like this… how do you know what’s live and what’s not? (Other than the fact that he won’t respond to this for a week or so.)
At any rate, I shall be investigating these links at some point, since I am intrigued by Ruby/Rails.

Phil is right — This entry, in particular, was a slow accumulation of links I had been tracking for a few weeks. I finally decided to let them loose while I was away.
I have internet access right now for the first time in about 7 or 8 days. I have a TON of catching up to do. . . But it looks like Ron kept the fort standing strong in my absence. Whatta guy!
