18/11/10
Hello everyone!
For those who follow me for a while, you should already know that I am an advocate of the community Ruby on Rails!
But too often, many or even beginner developers do not want to get into Ruby on Rails on the grounds that it seems to them too complicated, or that resource for learning are too poor ...
That is why today I want to belie these people by presenting a concept that I find just incredibly awesome!
This concept is none other than the site Rails for Zombies !
Their motto? It is very easy for them to code in rails should be fun and accessible to all, that's why they created an online platform entirely dedicated to learning Ruby on Rails!
Particularly well thought out, their platform consists of videos enhanced with slides and labs for practice!
Note that each of these slides or video in HD or are downloadable format iPad / iPhone / iPod!
Obviously I can already see the lazy who will come to me saying "yes, but you must configure a Rails environment on their machine ... etc."!
Well NO! Precisely to the site team thought of you! You make the practice directly through your browser and the platform will look after you correct! Obviously it will have passed a whole year to move to the next ...
In short, this site offers a method of learning through original and fun, you jump into application development ruby on rails!
So do not waste your time and JOIN THE HORDE! : P
Have Fun!

Mac speed installation with MacPorts
12/04/10
Hello everyone!
Some of you are certainly on Mac and although it is relatively simple to make this system in hand, you may occasionally be required to compile some applications by hand, or just install them from a terminal.
I propose today to discover a very handy tool called MacPorts !
Like the famous Aptitude package manager on Debian, MacPorts lets you perform a multitude of installation from your device with a simple command line.
For example here would look the complete installation of Ruby on Rails:
$ sudo port install ruby
$ sudo port install mysql5-server
$ sudo port install rb-rubygems
$ sudo port install rb-mysql
Pretty simple right?
The principle is simple, you simply tell it the name of the package to install, and MacPorts will take care to download, install and configure.
I let you discover without delay this open-source system!
Have Fun!
