omg me please - or how we got ourselves another ruby guru (0)

January 29th, 2008 · by Heri · hacking

ruby redditJames Golick has setup a “reddit” for ruby-related news and articles. It follows reddit’s last week announcement that they will allow its members to create sub-reddits centered around “niche” communities. In practice, this means ruby.reddit.com will stay focused and on-topic, contrary to the main reddit page or other social news websites, such as digg.com, which inevitably begins to feature jokes, news specifically crafted for digg, and sensationalist items, in order to cater to its mass audience.

I’ve comed to the page and it’s already filled with news, blog posts and announcements. No doubt it will turn into a main reference for developers who use Ruby and Ruby gems, beginners and pros alike, from all over the world.

It’s a great initiative, and this comes after James was quoted in the latest Rails Envy podcast, for his ingenuous tips for Ruby on Rails programmers. In the last week, I have also seen him starting zookeeper, a project management software, which leads me to think we now have another Ruby guru. I know he also made plugins (attribute_fu and resourcecontroller) for the Rails framework, although I tend to use other alternatives like make_resourceful. This also shows how strong and innovative the Ruby and Rails community is in Montreal.
