This is huge news – one of my favorite books on Ruby style, updated by two of my favorite Ruby writers.

Reblog via Russ Olsen

I’m thrilled to announce that @baweaver and I have just kicked off work on a second edition of Eloquent Ruby, to be published by our friends at @pragprog .

The idea is to keep the basic structure of the book the same while updating it to Ruby as it is used today.

While we are all excited, let me repeat
something that Brandon and I tell each other every day: This is a big project and we want to do it right. So while the second edition is on its way, it is going to take time, time measured in months.

But Eloquent Ruby, Second Edition is on its way.

“So with music, it was only natural for me to try every single genre I could think of, just to get it out of my system... I wanted to make sure to tap into everything to find out what makes sense for me. I’ve never been so dedicated to myself—I’m used to being out there, not inside and talking to me. I needed to find me, then decide what I wanted to tell the world.”

Happy Birthday Bridgetown!

Five years ago today, a project was born to create a new kind of web framework—certainly one unlike any previously seen in the #Ruby community.

(And yes, we're still working on getting v2.0 final out the door—soon, #WebDev friends, soon!)

Hey fellow developers!

If you've ever accidentally caused a security incident, or been part of a team that did, I'd like to hear about it (privately if you want).

I have a few of my own, I'm not just hoping to laugh at others.

I'm writing a presentation about how security incidents come about, from a dev and product perspective. For our learning, but mostly for security people who are flummoxed as to why we would do the things we do.

Package Manager for Markdown

I'm working on a project that is intended to encourage folk to make markdown text files which can be bundled together in different bundles of text files using a package manager.

Question for coders; Which package manager would you suggest I use?

Main criterias (in order) are:

1. Easy for someone with basic command line skills to edit the file and update version numbers and add additional packages.

2. All being equal, more commonly and easy to setup is preferred.

hey Rails folk, I need some help:

I have a hierarchical tree structure stored as an ltree in Postgres, (ex: a.b.c.d). I would like to be able to take that path, substitute the dots for slashes, and use that as a route (ex: //localhost/a/b/c/d).

My seemingly naïve approach was to make a helper to take the dot path and convert it to slashes, then add the path param to resources with a constraint. That sorta worked… but it URL-encoded the slashes.

Is there a way to not do that?
