Writing Efficient Ruby Code (Digital Short Cut) This short cut focuses on a number of coding patterns which are useful when trying to get maximum speed out of performance critical sections of Ruby code. Anti-patterns, i.e. coding idioms which should be avoided in performance sensitive code sections, are also discussed and include details on how to transform such code to make it more efficient. . |
|
Troubleshooting Ruby Processes When programmers develop a Ruby application they commonly experience complex problems which require some understanding of the underlying operating system to be solved. Difficult to diagnose, these problems can make the difference between a project’s failure or success. This short cut demonstrates how to leverage system tools available on Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris, BSD or any other Unix flavor to resolve problems that are difficult to diagnose with the standard Ruby development tools. |
|
Rails Routing (Digital Short Cut) The Rails routing system has always been a key component of the framework, and with the introduction of RESTful routes in the past year, it has taken center stage. Fully programmable, the routing system governs the process of mapping request URLs to the appropriate controller action. In this short cut, you’ll learn techniques for writing custom routing rules, how to tap into the convenience and power of named routes, and the workings of the RESTful routing that’s had such an impact on Rails development. |
