"Rails Upgrade Handbook" released

I know rails much and with pros and cons I still use it for quite every my project (honestly I use also Sinatra but just for really small projects). Rails3 is coming (it’s at Beta stage) and with the new main version many changes will be necessary. I’m curious about new possibilities but I don’t want to browse many blogs looking for “what is changed in that?!?”.

I found on a blog (I don’t remember which one) this “Rails Upgrade Handbook”, it looks like the answer I was looking for! :)

In the next days I’ll buy it and I’ll review it, wait to buy it, I’ll tell you if it’s worth!

@font-face

A nice reading about @font-face .. everytime I think about it (and html5 <video> tag) I can’t understand why some people can’t find a good solution together. To support @font-face you have to prepare 4 different font format (to support different browsers) and the same thing with video about <video> tag … it’s so stupid!

Support for Sinatra, Rack, and Metals now available - New Relic

Great news! Now you can use New Relic to check how your sinatra app works!

I used new relic with rails and I found it a great tool to have valuable information about your app!

I haven’t a running sinatra app that can be interesting to test with new relic but I’m happy for this news!

(I wasn’t paid by new relicto write this post, I really like this tool :) )
