If you think that by hiring juniors you will save money and will get working application – you are wrong.
You will loose much more than money.
Yes they are low cost, but read the rest of the post to be not tricked. (още…)
I have recently upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 and I got this nasty rmagick gem error:
RMagick2.so: This installation of RMagick was configured with ImageMagick 6.5.5 but ImageMagick 6.5.7-8 is in use. (RuntimeError)
then found this page in mixed English/Chinees
and finally got a page in German :)
Then I decide to write this post in English and slightly modify the solution
instead of putting
RMAGICK_BYPASS_VERSION_TEST = true in the deploy.rb
I have put this in the development.rb
and all it works – this way on the production I will be forced to use real compatible library or at least check again for another solution or gem.
AUCH! This solution doesn’t work even in development I got weird core dumps :( …so here it is another try
su - git clone http://github.com/rmagick/rmagick.git cd rmagick/ ruby setup.rb ruby setup.rb install
I have just finished one method and I was not happy with the code. Then I put a comment on top of the method “Far from perfect….”.
Then I read the class – it was ugly.
here is the before
def validate
return if is_email == false
found = InternetComunicatorType.find(:first, :conditions => {
:is_email => true,
})
return unless found
if found.id != id
errors.add(:is_email, "We have already email type")
return
end
end
here is the after
def validate
if is_email
found = InternetComunicatorType.find(:first, :conditions => {
:is_email => true,
})
if found and found.id != id
errors.add(:is_email, "We have already email type")
end
end
end
The result is much far readable
When starting with mongoid I have missed a lot some demo source code.
How it works with controllers, does it plays nice with nested attributes, such things.
Here is presentation of mongo and here are some slides
I writing this post for those who start using Mongo in their rails applications. I want to share my experience. First I discovered mongoid but then i saw mongo_mapper – so I decide to go with the crowd. But! I was wrong. I there is no documentation for mongo_mapper but some blog posts arround, the examples are not aways working and you have to fight with all the code – I don’t maybe I have found some old documentation. When you dive in the code – again no documentation and not clear behaviour. Maybe it is a good solution but for me it doesn’t work. I lost 1.5 days experimenting and hoping that the things will go.
Then I give a try with mongoid. It has wonderfull documentation for starters also it seems at first glance that the code in mongoid is more readably and human friendly. It took me 2hours to port all my models to mongoid.
The guy developing mongoid seems pretty active.
last words – it is pleasure to work with mongoid – I recommend it to all.
A lot of work last weeks.
Check those
The interesting think is that two of them are on Rails (www.mebelicomfort.com, shop.djibutzo.com) , one of them is on WordPress and the last one is on some custom PHP framework.
And meanwhile we are doing a lot of refactoring on our company website psspy.se, which finally is starting to look good.
After so much work I think that I will be tired but I am ready now for 6 websites for 1 week.
