Introduction to ActiveResource

December 18th, 2006 at 11:45 am (Rails)

Rick Olsen, a member of the Rails core team has a good writeup on working with ActiveResource. It seems that Beast is taking advantage of ARes to provide a RESTful API while keeping all the heavy lifting transparent to the user of the resource.

The documentation on ActiveResource is really scarce at the moment and posts like Rick’s are hugely useful to Rails developers who are looking to leverage ARes in their applications. Speaking on which, I would be refactoring an internal app used within my agency for ARes soon. I just have to implement the remaining user stories and take it to 1.0 first.

More on that as I get deeper into development.

Datacenter in a container

From Tim Bray, Sun’s Project Blackbox is a fully virtualized datacenter housed in a shipping container.

Makes people think again about the term “Mobile Storage”, doesn’t it?
