RoR

I continue my search of tutorials and information about the Ruby on Rails framework, which I am now developing an application in.

Not long after I decided to use Ruby on Rails I came across a few problems. Number on of course is there seems to be no manual. So I find myself spending along time searching the internet looking for information.

I don't know if it is just me but i picked up PHP quite easily. When ever I look at using a new language there are always some problems. I have an idea but I don't know the actual code to type. So without a manual I find it quite difficult.

That has got me thinking about PHP frameworks, more directly cakePHP. Yet something is still keeping me from giving up.

Back in my studying days I was the one playing with PHP while my class mates played with ASP.net. I like to be different. Maybe that is why I look to Ruby On Rails, as something that is abit different.

So i continue my quest to work with the Ruby on Rails framework, even though there is no manual, and not ever host can run such a thing.

It is the new "future" for the web 2.0 revolution.

Just as I was about to post this, i made a break through. One of my problems I was having was trying to work out how to make certain areas password protected.

before_filter :login_required, :except => [:index, :list, :show]

Adding that to the top of the class when using the "LoginGenerator" should force login requirements for things like "add, edit, delete".

For future reference for myself this is a link to a good RoR authentication procedure.

For those (like myself) that are creating a web 2.0 application and you can't think of a stupid sequence of letters for your company name try What Brand Are You? & Web 2.0 name generator, they should be able to help you.

Web 2.0 Update

Well I am slowly working out Ruby On Rails to the point where my "secret" application has started to be developed.

I have found only one other website that is already up and running offering what I have had in mind, but I am sure my product is going to be a lot better.

At the moment I am writing an article for the Toodyay Herald, which I hope to have published next month.

On the subject of publishing yes, the book is still being written. As you could imagine I have been quite busy the last few weeks so I haven't had a lot of time to spend on it.

Anyway back to my Article.

On Rails

At the moment I am downloading the Ruby On Rails framework. Since the development of WebFast version 2.0 where I was able to see the effects of being able to offer my clients an application that services them. I have been looking into things like Ruby On Rails and Ajax.

So on my soon on my trusty HP notebook i'll be running Ruby On Rails, and I will start traight away developing WebFast version 3.0 which I hope using the new framework will increase it's speed and functionality.

2.0 the new trend

Over the past two days I have been reading a lot about web 2.0 and I have come up with some thoughts.

It seems the future no doubt, and the new design format for a website is a big step in the other direction from what we as designers used to be doing.

Web 2.0 design is made up of lots of white space, and large font.

So now that is what I am developing for my new website.

When you think about it 2.0 is just a step further in using applications on the web. So I'm not really sure if for the general user "Web 2.0" really means anything at all.

As far as a designer goes I haven't checked the effects of selling anything under the web 2.0 banner as of yet. So i'll have to give it ago and let you all know how it turns out.

New layout

I have been working on the new layout for SnowExtreme. So all I to do is work out the blogger code and the new layout will be ready to place online.

The book is coming along fantastically. I am well into it at the moment and I might be writing a regular column in a newspaper.

There is still quite a bit of work backlogged at the moment so I am working hard at nights trying to get it all complete.

Wireless

The search for wireless broadband continues.

You would never think that living in a capital city such as Perth would create so many problems for affordable wireless broadband.

It seems other capital cities are fine, but Perth is lacking. The only one that is reasonably price are from the major telephone companies (Telstra & Optus).

In the not so distant future I need to have a broadband connection at my new house. It might mean having the usual non wireless solutions.
