Ruby on Rails Blog Carnival - April
April 23rd, 2007 by Stanislav Bozhkov
Here it is - this month’s Blog Carnival. After lots of reading and searching the network I’ve collected a new dozen of valuable posts. As everybody knows not every single blog post on the globe deserves a read up. That’s why I’m trying to weed out those that are not so useful. So, as a result I’ve compiled this Blog Carnival. I believe that most of these posts deserve a browse. Have a nice reading!
Rails Performance
- Twitter starting to get de-Railed - Twitter starting to get de-Railed - On this post is questioned the scalability of Rails applications. This question has also been asked to David Heinemeier Hansson. Moreover there’s a small discussion on the problem of scaling Twitter. It’s worth to give this post a read.
- A “facility in Rails to talk to more than one database at a time” - Dr.Nic has writen a great plugin to enable our Rails applications to talk to more than one database. Moreover he has written a nice tutor how things work. Good work!

Ruby On Rails Blog Carnival
March 18th, 2007 by Stanislav Bozhkov
These days I searched for a blog carnival about Ruby on Rails. However I couldn’t find a good one. In fact such a carnival should be useful for a lot of people interested in this topic - web development on rails. That’s why I’ll setup one mine carnival here. I’ll try to filter the most useful posts for you. So let’s the carnival begin :).
The glory of Ruby and Rails
- PHP vs. Ruby on Rails. An evolutionary story of a Web Developer and his tools. - The story of Nathaniel S. H. Brown - an experienced PHP developer. He compares in a good manner PHP vs Ruby (Ruby on Rails) and puts some ideas that Rails along with Ruby is the “evolutionary king” of the web development niche.
- Why I moved from Ruby on Rails to Python/Django and back - Carl Mercier: “I am now at least twice as productive with Ruby on Rails than with ASP.NET”. This guy jumps into RoR world from ASP.NET, after that he tries python/django and at the end he is again happy with Ruby on Rails. It’s interesting to read his story.
- How Ruby on Rails has made me a better programmer - Casper Fabricius is a programmer who has moved from ASP to Ruby on Rails. He notices some obvious difficulties about rails and it’s documentation.
