I know some programming. I know little bit of Java, I know some C#, I know some GW Basic. I've followed those 30 minute Ruby, Python tutorials and so on. I took some computer courses in college but didn't take them very seriously at that time. After I finished school, I got an IT job but my luck (or bad luck) I ended up doing non-coding ...
All that I will do is insert records into the database. However, I would definitly like the database-independence that Ruby/ActiveRecord can offer me. What would be the reccommended choice? Using simple insert queries, and rewriting them, and also maintaining my own database class for things as batch insertions; Using the power of Act...

Ok, so I really love HAML. Particularly, I love the integration with RedCloth and BlueCloth, so I can use Markdown and Textile intermixed with my HAML. I also love Python and Django. So, I would like to use HAML with Django. Now, I already understand that there are some attempts at cloning HAML-like syntax in Python (SHPAML and other...
Is there something like JRuby but for Ruby and Python? Not that it would actually be useful to me, but just wondering. ...
For a site I've been working on, the client needs a torrent tracker for creative commons/public domain files. My initial approach was simply to write a ruby script to parse uploaded .torrent files, connect to the tracker and use simple iteration through the peers to figure out which were seeds. The problem is, that only worked with torr...
I've played around with IronRuby lately, but I would like to install the reference implementation also. Needless to say, I'm a noob when it comes to Ruby, so I have a very stupid question. On the RubyForge download page, there are three different final versions of the Ruby installer (for Windows): rubyinstaller-1.8.6-p398.exe rubyinst...
Hi I'm looking to write a multiplatorm tasks application for technical people. I want to handle as many platforms as I can (web, shell, desktop) and therefore I have decided to begin with a server/API. I want to write it in Ruby, however i think that Rails is a bit too heavy for this, even though it would do the job. Sinatra also doesn'...
This is probably very simple, but I'm quite new to ruby and active record. I've got a CSV dump of a database which I'm trying to import to a database using DataMapper. I'm having trouble understanding which type of relationships I should define in the models so that it matches what is defined CSV. Here's what data I've got from the CS...
Hi, Right now I program exclusively with Objective-C using the Cocoa frameworks to write applications for the Mac OS X and iPhone/iPad platforms. I'm fairly fluent using the Objective-C language as well as the Cocoa and Cocoa Touch frameworks. I also know just enough C to be able to understand ObjC. One of my projects requires that I ...

What is the oldest version of rubygems that still allows you to download gems from rubygems.org? ...
In environment.rb I can add the line config.load_paths += %W( #{RAILS_ROOT}/app/models/foos ) where 'foos' is a folder. This loads all files inside the foos folder. However it doesn't load any of its subdirectories. If I knew the names of all the subdirectories in the 'foos' folder, this problem would have an easy solution: %W[fold...

I don't understand the following code: ruby-1.9.1-p378 > puts "nil is false" unless nil nil is false => nil ruby-1.9.1-p378 > puts "nil isn't false" unless nil == false nil isn't false => nil In most languages (of a C-base, at least), if(!cond) and if(cond==false) evaluate the same. What's going on here to make that not the case? ...

The changes to the checked out code are temporary and will not be pushed back to github...
