Rails Test-flow: Shoulda, Autotest, RedGreen, with Growl Notifications
December 18, 2008
No matter what framework you're writing your tests in, it's nice to know exactly what's going on, and exactly when it's happening. Whether you're writing development code or test code, it's imperative you know that what sort of effect the code you are writing is having on your application. That is the basic reasoning behind testing.

DMD on Rails - Session 1 (Ruby/Rails/MVC Architecture)
September 30, 2008
Rails is a full-stack framework for developing database-backed web applications according to the Model-View-Control (MVC) pattern. Ruby on Rails was created by David Heinemeier Hansson, a partner at 37signals, then extended and improved by a core team of committers and hundreds of open-source contributors.
With Rails, all of the low level programming has been abstracted away, allowing you to be free to work on the higher level aspects of your web application.

Installing Lovd By Less on Windows (XP & Vista)
July 22, 2008
On doing a recent test-run of the wonderful Lovd By Less I ran into a few system dependent problems.
I downloaded a fresh batch of Lovd, and slapped it into a brand-spanking new rails app. The most important thing here is to follow the readme provided by Lovd... which works great if you're on a Mac. I found they leave a few things out for us poor saps on Windows.
