Although there's nothing preventing you from linking to Google's mapping JavaScript API and referencing the library directly from your views, jumping between Ruby/Rails syntax and JavaScript can quickly become a tedious affair. The YM4R/GM plugin remedies this issue nicely, abstracting the API calls through Ruby's familiar object-oriented syntax.

Last time there was an another great article about Smalltalk called Back to the future for Smalltalk. Looks like a smalltalk back to the game :) It’s maybe the same history like a Ruby, today Ruby is really popular because DHH created Rails. But in Smalltalk we have Seaside which is also outstanding. Im generally a Ruby programmer, now im working with Squeak. I just wanna try how productive could I be with Seaside.Rails 10x more productive, Scala 2x. Really?

Highlights from the Ruby community.Getting ActiveScaffold 1.1.1 to Work With Rails 2.1.0
When I wrote about a Rails development container I kinda left off with “it all worked and everyone’s happy!” This post goes into a bit of detail about how I upgraded Rails (and ActiveScaffold) to use the newer versions. It’s not that this all that tough or clever but there’s not a lot of information on it.Web Scalability Practices: Bumper Sticker on Rails

By default, Rails comes packed with the Prototype javascript library and the effects library, Scriptaculous. While this is all well and good sometimes you want a change. I personally prefer jQuery to prototype. I don’t have any beef with prototype, infact I used it for about a year before even getting into rails, but I just prefer the jQuery syntax and selectors.Not going dark
Rubyforge is now hosting an “initial pre-release of a preview of an alpha of an undocumented proof-of-concept” of the rewrite gem. Rewrite restricts things like andand or try to your code and your code alone. Sure, if you introduce a bug in your code, you may break things that directly depend on your code. But if you introduce “try” using rewrite instead of modifying Object, you will not reach out across your project and break something entirely unrelated that happens to have defined its own version of try in a completely different way.How Ruby on Rails and REST go together
Rails 2.0, the latest version of the framework for the Ruby language, is made for doing REST applications, says Mike Clark, author of the newly released "Advanced Rails Recipes: 84 New Ways to Build Stunning Rails Apps".About Metaprogramming speed
In conclusion, metaprogramming can be as fast as no metaprogramming but that won't help your code readability and maintainability, so make sure to only use this great trick when needed!10 must-have Rails plugins
I was talking to Tim the other day about auditing Rails projects, and how we see a lot of Rails projects that reinvent the wheel instead of using plugins. The obvious follow-up question, of course, is "What plugins (or gems) should we be using?" Below I list ten plugins that we use regularly, and a brief reason why you might want to, too.Cache it all
I recently redid my personal web site, at welton.it. Wanting to be quick about it, and make the look and feel a bit more uniform than it has been in the past, I hacked together some pages in Rails. Despite this being sort of a "killing a fly with a bazooka" situation, I've been doing lots with Rails, so it was quick to use. Here's the thing, though: Rails is definitely overkill, as the site is basically static. I don't need to calculate anything or fetch stuff from a database - I just wanted a reasonably good template system, and I am quite comfortable with Rails these days.jRails: Ruby on Rails with the Prototype guts ripped out
Luckily, I discovered jRails, which replaces the Prototype parts of Rails with a custom fork of jQuery, jQuery FX and jQuery UI. With jRails installed, all of the familiar Rails helpers function as usual: form_remote_for, observe_form and link_to_remote. But under the hood, they're running on jQuery instead of Prototype, which makes it much easier to integrate your custom, client-side jQuery-style JavaScript with the auto-generated stuff Rails spits out.Strangling Strategies
I'm the author of the article. I just find useful to see what kind of interest the argument have and possibly reply to questions and have some interesting discussions.Installing Passenger "AND" Ruby Enterprise Edition
