[ANN] Reminder: Inaugural ShRUG (Sheffield Ruby User Group) tonight

ashley.mo...@patchspace.co.uk (Ashley Moran) — Mon, 12 Dec 2009 15:17:46 UT

Hi all

Don't forget that ShRUG is kicking off tonight, at 6.30pm. On the agenda is, among other things, what value can ShRUG offer to the local developer community, and how can we achieve it?

And beer. There will be beer. No Ruby experience is necessary to join in with the drinking =)

Cheers

protect_from_forgery is screwing my JSON web service up

biot...@gmail.com (doug livesey) — Fri, 12 Dec 2009 23:56:40 UT

Hi -- does anyone know how to get the request_from_forgery method to ignore
JSON calls, like it does for XML?
Cheers,
Doug.

How are people serving static files in their Rails apps?

biot...@gmail.com (doug livesey) — Mon, 12 Dec 2009 10:43:12 UT

I have some static JSON files that I want to get served up in a hurry.
Eventually, I'll have them be generated & cache them once a day, but I need
to get the service up there in a hurry, so am going to just create the files
& have them served up.
Should I call something like:
render( :file => "/path/to/file.json", :layout => false, :status => :ok )

10th Dec meeting

w...@willj.net (Will Jessop) — Wed, 12 Dec 2009 11:30:34 UT

The sneaky buggers at Geekup have gone and organised their Christmas do on the 10th, the same evening as this months NWRUG. There's some cross-over between NWRUG and Geekup groups so before I go ahead and organise the NWRUG meeting for the 10th clashing with the Geekup meeting I wanted to get a feel for the number of people who actually care :)

Graphic/Web Artists

alexbarlo...@me.com (Alex Barlow) — Tue, 12 Dec 2009 17:50:59 UT

Hi guys

Im looking at some new projects which may entail a lot of work and more importantly need to look amazing.

Can you recommend any amazing front end guys you've worked with?

Thanxs, Alex

Speccing views & controllers in Sinatra

biot...@gmail.com (doug livesey) — Tue, 12 Dec 2009 14:59:57 UT

Hi -- I know there's a couple of Sinatra devs around on the list, so thought
I'd ask -- how do you spec your views & controller actions?
There are examples all over the place for speccing the whole stack with
RSpec, but I'm already doing that with cucumber, and want to spec out the
parts with stubbed & mocked values, like I do in Rails.

Re: [GeekUp] Fly The Coop has a new home

This is a reply to geekup, copied to nwrug-members where it may be more relevant.

Hi Paul

I'm really interested in this idea. Just experiencing the process would be exciting.

The Coding Kwoon session I did at NWRUG got lot of people talking about doing a longer session, perhaps at a BarCamp. Would the FTC venue be suitable for a day/afternoon-long Coding Kwoon? Needs a projector and a load of chairs.

Tokyo Cabinet/Table

alexbarlo...@me.com (Alex Barlow) — Sat, 11 Nov 2009 22:39:43 UT

Well, im impressed.

I have 10 large datafile ( plus 4gb of data each) that I play about with, its the grace note list of artists, releases etc..

My old simple script was ruby, active record and mysql, to import 8 and a half million rows.

This used to take around 24 minutes, and eat my processor and ram for fun.
