• Acts_As_Ferret Tutorial - How to set up high-performance text searching in your Rails applications.


• RESTful Rails Development - Tutorial available in German or English; Paypal donation requested if you find it useful. (via Ruby Inside)


• Ruby Implementations Shootout: Ruby vs Yarv vs JRuby vs Gardens Point Ruby .NET vs Rubinius vs Cardinal - Despite the careful methodology and the poster's cautions, I'm sure there will be plenty of unwarranted conclusions drawn from this study, but I'm linking to it anyhow. Just try to keep in mind the difference between "platform X is slow" and "a particular group's project on top of platform X in its early days is slow."
