[rails-oceania] Youtube channel with the Melbourne Ruby talks
TL;DR please subscribe to this youtube channel Hi everyone, I have put together a youtube channel called rails-oceania to upload the talks we record. I'll start by uploading the 3 talks from our last Melbourne ruby meetup. I can add other users as managers on youtube so they can also upload videos, making it not restricted to Melbourne or just myself as the uploader. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCK4pBk2s5KxDw9KxyjUlTsA please subscribe. I need some subscribers before google lets me claim a custom url for it. We should record and edit more talks as there are a few meetups being held here at Zendesk. any feedback welcome. thanks, Fabio -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby or Rails Oceania" group.

Re: [rails-oceania] Re: noob question: gem or starting point project?
Great, Thank you guys for all the answers!! now I know what to do :) I'm glad I asked... I'll do the gem having only the models and the engine, mostly for our own team. thanks again, Fabio On Wed, Jun 5, 2013 at 10:40 PM, Kym McInerney k...@holodigm.com.au wrote: Totally agree with Jon and Warren, in particular : please don't dictate to me as a consumer how I should structure my models and controllers and make as little assumptions as possible if you want to drive adoption of your service I'd gem and OS it, then you get the best of both worlds, to answer your specific question.

Re: [rails-oceania] MacBook Air for development
You guys will hate my setup, But it is by far the cheapest :) I love my iMac at home, there's nothing better. But for mobility or those moments of couch programming I bought a refurbished IBM Thinkpad for only $230 bucks from ebay. of course it runs Ubuntu... Holds 4 hours of battery, super fast even with only 3G of RAM and has THE BEST keyboard ever(seriously). Very on-a-budget! cheers, Fabio.

Unfortunately my time and budget limitations really only leave me with two off the shelf choices: - 13 MacBook Air with 4GB - 15 MacBook Pro (also 4GB but can be upgraded later) I preferred the Air because it was lighter but was worried that 4GB wouldn't be enough. It sounds like that isn't the case. Secondly, I agree about keeping this thread free from the Mac versus PC religious war. I posted here because I've never developed on a Mac and I didn't want to waste money on an Air only to discover that I really need a Pro. I know a lot of the rails community uses Mac's so it seemed like the logical thing was to ask for advice.

[rails-oceania] Postgresql as a service on Heroku. anyone using it?
Hi guys, hope you all are having a happy Friday!! is anyone using this postgresql on heroku? what can you say about speed and reliability? I'd like to hear any comments on that before I begin any kind of testing :) thanks, Fabio. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Ruby or Rails Oceania group.

Re: [rails-oceania] Re: mobile frameworks
I built an app using jquery mobile and phonegap... It is good to develop
the interface and controllers without having to run on a simulator, but
once on the phone, I thought it was really slow. A bit frustrating to be
honest. I was blown away by the rubyMotion video. I will give it a go as
soon as one of you guys in the list write a scaffold for it hehehe.
Fabio.

Has anyone out there given RubyMotion http://www.rubymotion.com/ a
whirl yet?
It's in-built testing and inspection frameworks look really cool..
Here at ProjectProject, we built a bunch of apps in
PhoneGaphttp://phonegap.com/over the past two years but have recently
migrated over to Appcelerator
Titanium http://www.appcelerator.com/ (I think Aleksey mentioned this
earlier in the thread).
Our experience has been:
PRO: Both of these JavaScript based frameworks were useful in enabling
some of less technical graphics guys to modify apps without the overhead of
learning Objective C
PRO: Titanium allows you to get up and running super-quick and has a
pretty well documented API
CON: PhoneGap can perform perceivably slower then a native app given the
WebKit overhead
CON: Phonegaps CSS and window management can be really obscure and finicky
and sometimes leads to weird 'screen placement' bugs
CON: Apparently porting a complicated Titanium app to Android required a
lot of work (aleksey?)
Right now, we are building all our new projects in Titanium but this
RubyMotion definitely looks interesting.. Thoughts?

Hello from Tokyo!
I've been living under a rock as far as Rails and the surrounding
ecosystem has progressed over the last couple of years while I
maintained a Rails 2.3 app enviously looking on as everyone played
with all the new cool toys. Well, I still have to do that next year
but may get some time to develop some smartphone mobile applications,
or at least front-ends for some Rails app... probably nothing too
taxing, maybe audio/video playback but that's about it aside from your
usual tap-process-change the UI stuff.
So, just wondering if any of you esteemed ladies and gentlemen have
used any of the mobile frameworks out there, like Titanium etc., and
can recommend any of them? Do you use HTML/CSS/Javascript
cross-platform, or do you develop two apps in plain Objective-C and
Java? Or Ruby compiled to something that runs on the phone? Or some
other setup that I've never heard of due to living under the
aforementioned rock for so long?
Some or all of these features would be nice (assuming that you use one
of the cross-platform frameworks):
* Being able to target iPhone and Android without rewriting the whole
application.
* Ruby or JavaScript-based development.
* Open Source
I guess that's about it.
Thanks!
Robert
