Re: Teaching
I think there's nothing more fun than finding noobs and teaching them how to make awesome hacks! I know some of you guys think like I do, and I want to know which ones of you that is? I'm one of those. I've a project in mind, and it's going to take some doing. I could do it myself, but it'd be way better with a bunch of total geniuses at the helm than just silly old me. how about drawing on the wisdom of multiple silly old mes? I'm no uber-specialist, but I do have a good understanding of the difficulties people have with this stuff. With a stupid number of projects on the go, I'm not promising anything, but what's the idea? It's probably time for someone to make a new Camping screencast... So seeing as today is WhyDay and all, it seems like we should be thinking about the kids, and about teaching, and about drawing pictures of little silly people talking about silly things which somehow leads to education through nothing more than a thick coating of irrelevance. (I thought WhyDay was August 19th?) now that's one of the reasons I joined this list - I wanted to use Camping as a way of introducing students to the next step after HTML/CSS. In the end, I only ever had on who was interested. TL;DR; I want brains.

Re: A question about the ecosystem.
I had to tie into an LDAP db so I just used net/ldap and a class I wrote. I had problems getting will_paginate to work. I eventually just hacked together something else. It doesn't really amount to much more than what I was having to do with will_paginate, so it works for me. :P Dave On Tue, Aug 30, 2011 at 6:20 PM, Tim Uckun timuc...@gmail.com wrote: On Wed, Aug 31, 2011 at 1:33 AM, David Susco dsu...@gmail.com wrote: I've got five camping apps in production. They're mostly CRUDs with some basic searching/e-mailing/etc. I use a few third party libraries; haml, paper_trail, rack/csrf and redcloth being the main ones. I haven't had too much need beyond those but your mileage will vary obviously. What Camping lacks is a lot of the fluff, but that's what I like the most about it. It keeps things simple. I like the promise of simplicity too. What are you using for Authentication? Does simple_form or formtastic work with camping or do you use something else for that? I like Typus as a quick way to put up admin sites does anybody know if it works with camping? Has anybody tried whenever? I presume will paginate, chronic etc will work as long as I stick with AR (although honestly I want to try something other than AR too). ___ Camping-list mailing list Camping-list@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/camping-list -- Dave ___ Camping-list mailing list Camping-list@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/camping-list

Would you like to write some content for it Waffles? The version at http://whywentcamping.com/The-Camping-Book is a wiki - you can edit it by clicking the pencil, though you need a github account as it's a mirror of the camping/camping github wiki On 01/09/2011, at 9:21 AM, Anonymous Waffles wrote: I would personally like to see the Camping book expanded on more, but I can't wait to see some more projects for spreading Camping. -Waffles On Wed, Aug 31, 2011 at 10:02 AM, Dave Everitt dever...@innotts.co.uk wrote: Everyday is WhyDay.
