The No Nonsense Guide To Ember.js on Rails  blog.dcxn.com
I wrote up a no non-sense, no steps skipped guide to getting a new Rails app running the latest version of Ember.js. There is already great tooling for Ember when it's part of a Rails project.

lazy_google_analytics, GA api client for the lazy
I just launched lazy_google_analytics, this gem it´s an abstraction around google-api-client gem, to make server to server api calls.

google-api-client gem is a very powerful tool to access the api resources on google. but for me it was not very straightforward, so I came around with a simple way to implement it. that's all.

...and yada yada.

Should you concerned about defaults?
Any software has configuration, bad simple configuration, just default values for abstract environment.
For. Abstract. Environment.

Myths:
- Expensive hardware = good, cheap = bad
- Trust without visualization
- I don't want to optimize what I don't know

Rails engine to serve modal image viewer!
Very excited to share this latest library! Image Viewer Rails

It's a rails engine that let's you set up a modal image viewer quickly and painlessly. Using it with forms (for data entry) is where it really shines.

The javascript library that the engine serves is tested in coffee-script, but written in Javascript. View a live demo, and docs via the link at the top of the README. Learned a lot, and had a great time putting this together. Hope you find it useful.

We are very excited to announce that Call for Proposals for EuRuKo 2013 is now open and you can send your proposals until April 23rd!

The process has been refined with feedback from the community and all the details can be found here.

So, what are you waiting for? Join the party!

Parade - Version 0.10
Parade is presentation software powered by Sinatra with slides written in Markdown. Version 0.10 brings with it better support for mobile devices and quite a few common slide formats. Parade is a fork of Scott Chacon's Showoff. The work I started was initially to address two of it's shortcomings:

* Lack of GitHub Flavored Markdown
* Static HTML and PDF generation did not inline images and styles

Along the way a number of other remarkable features were added:

* Easy support for themes and plugins
* Better presentation support for smaller form-factor devices
* More default slide formats

A Closure Is Not Always A Closure In Ruby  skorks.com
