I've wanted to learn Ruby for some time and even started to learn a little bit. I then got distracted and for some reason went with Python. I have now however decided that even though my current project is in Python, I will also be learning Ruby and Ruby on Rails. If somebody were to ask me what version of Python to start with I'd sugge...
I believe I have put the question quite clearly and in a concise manner. Why do I ask? I am to explain Ruby on Rails framework to students and this requires me to make some analogies to the Java world (as the course is quite Java-centric). I have no hands-on experience with Ruby on Rails but I sense the Gem/Jar analogy is a valid one. ...

My feeling is that the differences between Camping and Sinatra are not very significant and that you could safely choose either one and be ok. But I want to ask the Ruby experts if this is true. Are there in fact any important differences between the Sinatra and Camping microframeworks? And how would you go about deciding which one to us...

Using ActiveRecord, I have an object, Client, that zero or more Users (i.e. via a has_many association). Client also has a 'primary_contact' attribute that can be manually set, but always has to point to one of the associated users.

Is there a way to tell cucumber not to skip other tests in a scenario when a test fail? ...
That is pretty easy with a plain hash like {:a => "a", :b => "b"} which would translate into "a=a&b=b" but what do you do with something more complex like {:a => "a", :b => ["c", "d", "e"]} which should translate in "a=a&b[0]=c&b[1]=d&b[2]=e" or even worse, with something like: {:a => "a", :b => [{:c => "c", :d => "d"},...
I'm handling file attachments in my Rails app with Attachment_fu, which provides a public_filename method to retrieve a file's URL. I'm using it on a model called Cover, so if I want to call the URL of an uploaded cover image, in a view I would do: <%= image_tag(@cover.public_filename) %> This works just fine when the user has the app...
Since Rails is already an effective Rich Internet Application framework because of the way it makes Ajax so easy, what is the argument for combining Rails with Flex and using Flex as the front end instead of HTML? A programmer friend of mine said he uses this combination because Flex is great for RIAs. My argument is that Rails is alread...

What does that mean? In the instructions for a project, it said to "freeze the Rails gems". Is that different from freezing the Rails version? What's freezing about? ...
Hi. I'm building a website for my Web Dev class, and I'm stuck on rendering HTML. I want to be able to use a simple form (Pretty much all I have right now is a scaffold for this controller, and I attempted sticking a content_type into my controller, but no progress.) to submit text and have it rendered as HTML.
