I’ve promised a few things to students, so I’m going to keep a “todo” list here and cross things off. So far . . .

  1. Assignment 2: Provide a more detailed paragraph on what happens when a tick happens. Done; check it out.
  2. Provide screencast to go with “testing” screencast script. I think the script should help a lot, but seeing it happen is, of course, what I promised in the first place.
  3. Screencast on rdoc.
  4. Provide lecture chunk towards end of Rails section on projects in the Ruby/Rails ecosystem: JRuby, Rubinus, Merb, Sinatra, etc.
  5. How to have association return values in a default order.
  6. Avoiding SQL injection.
  7. Limiting what AR returns (i.e., selecting only certain columns).

    I'd like to understand what Rake is and does. (Maybe this is already scheduled for a later lecture and assignment.)

    The rake documentation should help you understand what it is. One place to learn more is: http://rubyrake.org/tutorial/index.html

    Wikipedia also has a simple entry about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rake_%28software%29

    In general, it will probably help to read up about "make" as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Make_%28software%29

    Sorry I didn't reply to this earlier -- I received no e-mails from anyone who wanted to use the forum software, so we're not using it.
