Double Shot #613 »

Created at: 28.12.2009 15:12, source: A Fresh Cup, tagged: Double Shot blueprints css formtastic holidays javascript mysql PostgreSQL rspec ruby

Last week of the year. This one can't end soon enough for me.

  • Blueprints 0.4.0 - Another replacement for factories and fixtures with some nice syntactic sugar.
  • Ruby 1.8.7-p248 released - Can't really tell how significant this is because reading Ruby's own changelogs is a mystery to me.
  • holidays - Gem to extend the Ruby date class to make it holiday aware. Works well, once you figure out you have to require the individual holiday support for whatever region you're interested in.
  • CoffeeScript - Rubyish language that compiles down to JavaScript.
  • RMSforms - CSS styling framework especially for forms.
  • formtastic-sass - Sass mixins to style formtastic forms. If only I liked sass.
  • MySQL and Postgres command equivalents (mysql vs psql) - Handy if you switch back and forth.
  • email-spec - Matchers and steps for testing email with RSpec and Cucumber.
  • rspec-integration - A mind meld between regular Rails integration tests and RSpec. So far I like this much better than Cucumber.
