Life is grand

It has just been announced that RubyCentral and O’Reilly Media will be producing next years RailsConf Europe and it will be in Berlin. 3 day event, 1 day of workshops and 2 days of talks.

And now for Why.

We start with a love poem for Ruby. It’s erotic, passionate, beautiful and… red. Like a ruby. And foxes.

Splat (*) in Ruby is not only eye grabbing but useful. e.g. array.push *IO.read ‘list.txt’ and then a put will break on newline. Splat (*) seems to be an array tool. [*0] => [0].

Seems this talk is about useful tricks in Ruby. I think. Bit of an interesting talker, from philosophy to code and around to romance in a single sentence.

Some sandboxing tips. With lightning, sans foxes. His library seems to be a way for a module to interact with two separate Rails apps. It launches mongrel with your module and puts the loaded apps into sandboxes that you can access.

And that was Why.
