More Rails Fun: Beyond The Silly Examples
It's late in the day, my IPA that's been fermenting now for 10 days has a wonderful sour/bandaid taste (the yeast was crap evidently), and a hurricane is making it's way slowly towards us. Not really conducive to work so I thought I'd muck around with Rails a bit and make y'all a screencast that "goes beyond" the sticky sweet stuff and shows you how easy it is to extend and build out your application.

It's late in the day, my IPA that's been fermenting now for 10 days has a wonderful sour/bandaid taste (the yeast was crap evidently), and a hurricane is making it's way slowly towards us. Not really conducive to work so I thought I'd muck around with Rails a bit and make y'all a screencast that "goes beyond" the sticky sweet stuff and shows you how easy it is to extend and build out your application.
Specifically - Rails comes with a console application that will wrap your website and allow you to work with your models and controllers directly through a console. Very groovy. It also has a very cool plugin structure that allows you to go get code that other people have written and install it in your application right quick - I'll show you how to do that too.
All good stuff and a fun way to kill 20 minutes :). Hope you enjoy it and let me know if you have any questions!

Why Am I Doing This?
I find Rails inspirational. It's a treat to play with and to work in and I think everyone should learn a new language or platform every year as part of "rounding out" your experience!
