Custom Programming, Framework, Ruby on Rails, Web Articles for Dummies
Within the last few years Ruby on Rails (RoR or just simply Rails) has gained great popularity in the way people develop web applications. It offers web developers to make an architecturally clean web application at a relatively faster time, compared to many existing technologies known. By clean architecture, I mean an application that you could painlessly maintain, change, and extend to meet the objectives of why it’s built, even perhaps by someone who initially didn’t develop it..
..
And thus enters Ruby on Rails. Rails is developed to meet these requirements, it is expected to help developers build a flexible, scalable, and easy-to-maintain web application in a rapid way. Rails achieves this because it follows certain software design principles, which are:
- MVC: Models - Views - Controllers
- Conventions over Configurations
- DRY: Don’t Repeat Yourself

About Rails session stores
Sessions allow you to store objects in memory between requests. This is useful for objects that are not yet ready to be persisted, such as a Signup object constructed in a multi-paged process, or objects that don’t change much and are needed all the time, such as a User object for a system that requires login..
Rails has several different methods of storing the session data. They are:
- PStore (default in Rails 1.x)
- ..
Switching from one type of session store to another
For various reasons, you may find yourself wanting to switch the type of session store you are using. It seems simple enough, just update config.action_controller.session_store in your environment, redeploy and you’re done! Right? Well, there’s a problem ..

In recent weeks, I started seeing several posts about using NetBeans for RoR development, and in particular, this post persuaded me to download it and try it. I just started using the NetBeans Ruby IDE this week, and I may be just about ready to convert for good.
NetBeans, UI seems to be pretty logically organized, and its various panels somehow seem better integrated than similar panels (or “views”) in Eclipse. Compared with the functionality of RadRails, NetBeans Ruby/RoR features seem to be more mature, more robust, better organized and easier to use..

Custom Programming, Database, Framework, Ruby on Rails
Joe points out the following from this interview with Twitter’s Alex Payne:
The problem is that more instances of Rails (running as part of a Mongrel cluster, in our case) means more requests to your database. At this point in time there’s no facility in Rails to talk to more than one database at a time.
..
In my case, ActiveRecord provided exactly the right level of functionality. I can have multiple database connections established and write code to manage when each should be used. Control of which connection is used is managed at the model level. Connections cascade up inheritance chains and I can specify that one model use the connection specified on another model using a simple delegate statement:
class A < ActiveRecord::Base
end
class B < ActiveRecord::Base
class << self
delegate :connection, :to => A
end
end

As I suggested in an earlier post, I’d like to discuss the choices that we as software developers have when it comes to implementing applications. These choices can be as fundamental as your programming language, your choice of tools, such as your IDE, or the libraries you use, such as your ORM or AJAX choice..
..
They are not new, and they will continue to flourish every so often. Most recently, the theater of combat is Ruby on Rails (RoR) vs. Django and usually close on its heals: Ruby vs. Python.

I haven’t used much of the new “Rails”type development kits yet. However, if I have to choose amongst them, I would be choosing Trails. The main problem with Grails (and Rails) is you are adding a new language to the mix. If all you have are highly skilled developers and not planning to do Global Resourcing then that’s all cool..
..
So why Trails? Trails, although it is still in its infancy, is better geared for application development with a larger team and multiple roles (i.e., web developer, application developer) and can more easily leverage existing skills of Java developers. Here are the things that Trails has it going for:..

Internationalization in
-> Django (a python web framework)
-> Ruby-On-Rails
-> Struts
Django and RoR have very similar solutions to internationalization. Both rely on the GNU gettext tool, which serves messages from the according localised .mo-files. While a developer write his code, all he has to do to enable the localization of the application is to use the gettext-method (resp their python or ruby-equivalent).
..
Struts follows a different approach, which is somewhat similar to how it is solved in twoday:
