Rails 5 adds http_cache_forever to allow caching of response forever

When response does not change then we want browsers and proxies to cache it for a long time. Method http_cache_forever allows us to set response headers to tell broswers and proxies that response has not modified.

Ready to Try Ruby? An Awesome Rails Cheat Sheet

Gaslight - 03 March 2016

Last week I wrote about making a Ruby and Rails course, and some of the lessons I learned in the process. One of the biggest lessons that I learned was that Ruby and Rails is way too much for a single session. Part of that pain came from the Rails cheat sheet created for the course because it was missing a lot of key information about Rails.

Entry Level? This will help!

Hashrocket - 03 March 2016

The Ruby community is surging with new developers. Thanks to bootcamps and a drive for diversity, the community is booming and becoming better than ever. A little over a year ago I started reviewing applications at Hashrocket. While talking to new developers the same questions keep coming up:

We can now generate API only apps in Rails 5. In case of such apps, it’s better to have the error message in the format in which request was made. Having an HTML response for a JSON endpoint like http://localhost:3000/posts.json is not going to help in debugging why the exception happened.

Surrogate WebSockets Alongside Rails

Codeship - 02 March 2016

ActionCable is coming to Rails 5 and brings with it the promise of using WebSockets directly in Rails. Ruby has a notoriously bad concurrency story, and that certainly extends into the realm of WebSockets and pubsub. ActionCable may be suitable for a small number of authenticated sessions, but scaling persistent connections to thousands or tens-of-thousands […]

Use file_fixture to access test files in Rails 5

Bigbinary - 02 March 2016

This blog is part of our Rails 5 series. While writing tests sometimes we need to read files to compare the output. For example a test might want to compare the API response with pre determined data stored in a file.

Why We Use Test-Driven Development (TDD)

Quick Left - 29 February 2016

Introduction When you’re getting ready to build an application, there are many choices to be made. Will you choose to build it as cheaply as possible, then hope that things work out down the line? Or do you need something more resilient? If so, spending the time and money to build a quality application will […]

A Quick Study of the Rails Directory Structure

SitePoint - 29 February 2016

Ruby on Rails is a full fledged web framework written in Ruby. It is one of the most famous web frameworks and makes getting started with development so easy. Today I would like to explain the default files and folders generated by Rails. Let’s get started.
