There are a few options for editing a model in-place while in the Show page, i.e. without having to load a form in the Edit page. For example, see http://www.ruby-toolbox.com/categories/rails_in_place_editing.html. Has anyone had any experience using any of these options (or others) in Rails 3? Any pointers or advice? In my case, I hav...

I am now currently changed to use the Gem Devise for user authentication. But I don't know how to match the encryption! I knew that we could write a new encryptor and assign it in initializers, but the point is the encryptor accepts 4 arguments only (password, stretches, salt, pepper). But in my case, I do included the user's email and ...

Do large file uploads block an applications request/response cycle? I have an app that allows users to upload multiple large files (images in particular). These files are stored on a remote host.
