The Poor Man's Feed Cacher | Ruby on Rails for Newbies [ma.gnolia] (Put together quickly (Haligan)) by MichaelBiven
RESTful app design means that the same action can generate both HTML and XML. One problem I’ve encountered is that XML in the form of an RSS or ATOM feed could be page cached, but the HTML version should not be (since it might show flash messages or be customized for authenticated users).

How has Ruby and Rails made me a better programmer: Apress/On Ruby Blogging Contest (Put together quickly (Haligan)) by michaelb
Instead of making me a better programmer, it has let me start to become one. Working as a system and network admin for some time I had always wanted to move over to the development side of things, but the time was never there for me. Several years ago I got my first look at Ruby and Rails after I used Instiki and later on Tracks to keep my notes organized on some items I was working on.
Keeping my interest for some time when I saw that there was going to be a Rails workshop not too far away I jumped at the chance. Jeff Casimir had created the “Workshop for Good” with Amy Hoy, Ezra Zygmuntowicz and himself teaching and all proceeds going to the school were he worked at as a fundraiser. This gave me the perfect chance to have time to work with Rails and have some great people to ask questions for when I got myself stuck or confused.
After that I was getting excited about programming, creating things and starting looking at ways I could turn my current position into the job I actually wanted. Employed at an engineering firm that does allot of GIS work I started looking at how using Rails with the available map APIs from both Google and Yahoo can create work more quickly than what our GIS techs would make using ArcGIS.
All of this has lead me down a path were I’m more comfortable taking greater risks with my career to do the things I want to do. Allowing me to leave my office bound position as an IT manager to work from home fulltime, have time to finish my degree, attend a few more classes / workshops and seek out the local Ruby group. This has lead me down a path were I work with some great people doings some really useful things with Ruby and Rails. I’m still mostly doing sys admin type work and I wouldn’t call myself a programmer yet, but I’m getting more chances and time to program.
If you think Ruby and Rails has made you a better programmer and want the chance to win check out Pat’s post.
