When the user clicks the "like" button it sends the record to the 'vote' table with a value of '1' and the particular ...
I have frequently run into the situation where I want to update many records at once - like GMail does with setting many messages "read" or "unread". Rails encourages this with the 'update' method on an ActiveRecord class - Comment.update(keys, values) Example - http://snippets.dzone.com/posts/show/7495 This is great functionality, bu...

Hey there, I have a decent understanding of RESTful urls and all the theory behind not nesting urls, but I'm still not quite sure how this looks in an enterprise application, like something like Amazon, StackOverflow, or Google... Google has urls like this: http://code.google.com/apis/ajax/ http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentat...

I've managed to setup authlogic, and quite nice it appears too. Is it secure enough out of the box? I haven't really configured it too much. I'm going to be using it on a school website where the headmaster basically logs in with username and password to edit notices on the website. So it needs to be secure, but it ain't a bank or an e-...
