Woot, I'm published on one of the official Rails sites now: Rails Routing from the Outside In. I feel all accomplished and stuff.

  • Lockdown - Authentication/authorization plugin for Rails the operates on a "deny by default" basis.

  • Loading Seed Data - Good discussion on the ways to get static data into a Rails app without depending on brittle migrations. I swiped some of this in an app I'm working on now.

  • db_populate - Simple Rake task to load data from Ruby files into a new database. I've forked this to make it have some verbose output.

  • EcomPages - Open source Rails shopping cart.

  • Prawn's Second Release (0.2) - Looks like this pure-Ruby PDF generation library is moving right along.

  • App Store. I'm Out. - Yep, I'm glad that I decided against investing time in writing iPhone applications. Fat, dumb, and arbitrary is no way to go through life.

  • Regular Expressions Cheat Sheet - Nicely formatted but not language-specific or comprehensive.

  • Ruby QuickRef - Includes an exhaustive Ruby-specific regex section.

  • I Dropped IE6 - Site to brag about your refusal to support obsolete browsers.
