Sorry about all the RSS goofiness. I managed to complete bork the site and had to redo a batch of things, which didn’t do the feeds any good. Not that I’ve had much luck tracking down the original issue.

  • Rails vs. Django – There’s a link here to a Django screencast that I probably should find the time to watch, though overall it confirms my suspicion that the two frameworks are largely equivalent in terms of productivity.
  • Softies on Rails Interviews: Menuism – It’s certainly nice for me to read at this point stories of people who walked away from Microsoft to do Rails development.
  • File Upload Fu – Mike Clark discusses handling image file uploads in a Rails app.
  • Lighthouse – Rails issue tracking app from the Mephisto creators, coming soon.
  • TextMate: Power Editing for the Mac – Book from Pragmatic Bookshelf, now released. If I did want to become a TextMate expert, this would probably be a good investment.
  • Capistrano 1.4.1 – A minor update to the deployment utility that goes along with Rails.
  • Our ActiveRecord book …and YOU! – There’s a book all about ActiveRecord coming. You can go make suggestions about what you’d like to see covered.

And Then There's Django

Of course, Rails isn’t the only RAD framework for Web development in town, as I was reminded by reading A Rails/Django Comparison and Constructive reasons to use Django instead of Rails . I’ll probably poke at Django a bit, but frankly, Python makes my head hurt. Well, so does Ruby, but Python makes my head hurt more.
