Pragmatic Rails: Write RIAs, not websites!

Anybody so far wrote about developing rich desktop-like Rails applications so I posted this comprehensive guide about Rails and web components.

Comments

Dude…we get it…you love your own framework. Great! Can we go now?

I’ll second that. Fuck off, man.

I love my own frameworkS, that’s plural!

+1

p.s. Tables are out, period.

The +1 was to the comments above, not to aptodick.

gonna hate.

i hate you man…

ok, i don’t hate you so much…

Dear apotonick, you are writing a presentation framework but your presentation sucks. Please be kind with us we would love to use Cells but your blogging style does not getting through

Dear Anonymous,

  1. Just use the frameworks, the code, the docs and tutorials are written in appropriate language.

  2. What sucks about my presentation style? Tell me.

hi nick, geht ja ganz schön rüde zu hier :-)

why you hate this guy so much ?

is the first time that i see this level of odiosity in the rails community; That is very strange, since he is offering his work,for free, which is otherwise well done.

So you anonymous bastards, go back to your sewer or show to us what makes you more than the friend here.

intelligent criticisms are welcome.

What’s going on over here? Most of the comments are very rude an inappropriate. If you don’t like apotonick’s framework or style: Tell him why. Perhaps something will change. I’m really interested in his examples and will use some of his ideas in my next project. So: Thanks Nick.

BTW: Tables are out! But only if you are using them for styling and positioning your content. If you want to display tabular data, well that’s what they are made for.

Wondering, thanks - I just wanted to display tabular data!

Not sure what is the problem – there is some framework, looks like it even can be useful in some situations. Not convincing me entirely but hey, it’s not a reason for such comments. “Be nice because Ruby is nice” is a quote I like, taken from Matz. “Fuck off” is not being nice with someone that shares his code with you guys.

Well, well, well…

if “apotonick” didn’t use such a degrading tone in his blawgh, maybe the critique against his “framework” would have been more polite?

And using homosexuality as a degrading term as “aptonick” did in his post… it’s 2010, if you people didn’t notice! srsly! that’s not OK.

didn’t we get enough with the “perform lika a pr0n star” scandal last year?

I can’t see how being sexist and/or homophobic is anywhere near “being nice”.

@nick: I know, I know. I just wanted to point that out.

@Anonymous Coward I don’t know if I’m feeding a troll, but did you read the update? Nick addressed the comment from “Just another fag”.

Hey sorry, but this is really too much. Stop calling me homophobic! This is ridiculous.

Maybe I simply chose the wrong swearword - didn’t you realize yet that I don’t speak englisch very well? I just repeat stuff I pick up from my american friends, that’s all.

The real problem here is that some people in the community are against progress and sabotage those who want to drive things like Rails to another level.

Beside that, if somebody feels offended by my language just don’t read my blog. The internet is for porn.

@nick about the blogging style:

When one wants to get into a new adventure, like using a non-rails-specific extention, like your cells and apotomo first of all it is looking for trust. It’s like ‘buying’ the ‘product’ from you and want’s to know the seller. I’ve tried years ago Cells and was fine. Since then I’m watching the news–your blog posts–about. These posts are standing out by having a very strange style. Right now I’m not sure if I want to use Cells because your blog posts about are not making me to want it.

In the rails ecosystem there are many wonders every day. You simply can’t decide where to pay attention. So the first impresssion, the blog post, the presentation matters most. Then the code.

I can’t give you advices for style, I just know it doesn’t build trust for me.

Maybe all above ‘ranters’ wanted to tell the same. Your topic is popular – that’s why got flames. Maybe your solution will be in the same way popular

People from phoenix are phoenecians.

@second-to-last Anonymous: Wow, thanks, I didn’t expect that level of “quality feedback” here. Thanks.

So what to say now? On the one hand, you have a stable gem with a serious project site, talks, and a mailing list without any faux pas at all.

On the other hand, there’s someone blogging about these projects, in a non-conventional way maybe, but still informative.

Isn’t that open-source?

Please, explain that “very strange style”, I’m curious about that. Is it the little f-words here and there, or just my bad english?

Thanks again…
