Getting started:

• Get a free account.
• You book your time on accounts. So setup tasks (accounts)

The general structure is client.project.task. The client might be IBM, the project might be XRT and the task might be design. Then you can add t asks like IBM.XRT.testing, which would mean a testing task.

This client.project.task structure has the advantage that it makes it easier to run more complex reports on the data. How much data we do for client X? How much did we do on project Y?

Here we create the client BMW with project RoR and task design. If the client already exists, only the project and the task are created. If the client and the project exist, only the task gets created.

You can add tasks only to existing client.project.task combinations, but by entering IBM.XRT.testing, you automatically create the client IBM, the project XRT and the task testing if they did not exist before.

Starting/Stopping task

Enough! Some people got work todo! OK, it’s as simple as a cd-player. Press the start and stop button.

Task not running

Task running

This client.project.task structure has the advantage that it makes it easier to run more complex reports on the data. How much data we do for client X? How much did we do on project Y?

Install: gem install switchtower

SwitchTower 1.0 fixes several bugs and adds many new features.

 >Luckily, Selenium has a feature that is horribly documented: waitForValue,
 >which you can use in the test case directly, and waitForCondition,
 >callable in a JavaScript-based extension. Using a combination of these,
 >you can make your Ajax call and wait for any condition that should happen,
 >such as the DOM changing or values updating.

Bring your laptop along, and with guidance you will quickly enjoy the experience of super-productive web application development. Only 20 places are available, so book early to avoid disappointment.

Globalize implements three basic types of translation:

• Dates, currencies, etc: language dependant, but also (often) country/locale dependant. This feature provides convenient methods for relevant data types.
• Content in the database, for specific fields in specific tables: once the translates method is added to the relevant model, the fields indicated with that method call gain the ability to have translated content sitting in the database. An operator (possibly the developer) will need to add these translated texts.
• Arbitrary strings: any string that you would like, with added flexiblity for including parameters (for example: one in the singular form of a phrase and an actual number for the plural form)

Using these three mechanisms, all user-facing content ought to be translatable.

Nice intro.

Note: Make sure you work with the latest rails version

Action Profiler allows you to profile a single Rails action to determine what to optimize. You can use the Production Log Analyzer and action_grep to determine which actions you should profile and what arguments to use.

Information on the Production Log Analyzer can be found at:

rails-analyzer.rubyforge.org/pl_analyze

Action Profiler REQUIRES Ruby 1.8.3, even if you just use Ruby’s builtin profiler.

Action Profiler can use three profilers, Ruby’s builtin profiler class, Shugo Maeda’s Prof or Ryan Davis’ ZenProfile.

Shugo Maeda’s Prof: raa.ruby-lang.org/project/ruby-prof

Ryan Davis’ ZenProfile: rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=712&release_id=2476

Gem Installation

 gem install action_profiler

RiskJobs is a German Headhunting website for the Risk Management domain. Applicants can fill out their profiles (tree structures) and companies can search: e.g. we need an operational risk expert with 3 years of experience that also knows X, Y and Z.

This adds one more app, the ever growing RealWorldUsage wiki page.
