Since the bar is already at $495, it means that we just have $5 to go to reach the target of $1,000. On behalf of the Pragmatic Bookshelf, they'll be doubling any contribution made by the community! Dave Thomas from the Pragmatic Programmers just informed me that him and Andy are getting behind the community fund raiser for the visual identity for Rails. Thanks for sharing, James!Īugust 27, 23:59 | Comments (3) Pragmatic Programmers sponsor Rails identity! James started out on Rails without knowing Ruby (like many others) and has been completely taken by the combination of Ruby on Rails in such a short period of time. I've completely converted my newest project to Rails and am nearing a beta version. (28 Aug) I've been working with Rails for 10 days now, and there is no looking back. I've reimplemented a bunch of my latest project in Rails, and all I can say is that it's so tight, clean, and beautiful that I must use it for all my web development. (19 Aug) The more I look the more I appreciate all the thought and design that has gone into Rails. Despite his initial problems with full-fledged debugging screens and the pluralization rules, he's now completely sold after ten days of development: (18 Aug) Now that the installation is over, I can get down to the business of evaulating if Rails is going to be my new web appiclation framework. James Prudente has been blogging his learning curve with Rails. It's likely that a smaller crop of testers will be picked from this pool before the official beta unveiling, so there's a bone for you.Īugust 29, 12:21 | Comments (14) Following a Rails developer from day 1 Have you signed up for the one-time notification yet? You should. I can't wait until MacroMates decides its time for release, so everyone can partake in the goodness that is TextMate. BBEdit unchallenged reign of high prices and debatable feature set is coming to an end. With TextMate still aiming for a beta release in September, it certainly looks like the beginning of a new era for Mac editors. If ever there was an application that was begging for a complete overhaul, BBEdit is it. On the other hand, I was looking for a revolution. and Justin French chimes in with his disappointment that the 8th release wasn't an overhaul: It’s a predictable and welcome evolution. But on the horizon is TextMate, which actually looks like it might be a bit good. and Carline has even less flattery to spare: For me, I'm sticking with Vim for now. Especially with TextMate around the corner. idoChron writes: I like it, but I’m not sure if I $50 upgrade like it. So why do people continue to pay through the nose for BBEdit? It makes no sense! Sure, it's quite a nice editor, but it's worth ~$30 tops! How can the $180 price tag possibly be justified?Īnd of course, it doesn't get easier to continue to charge 4-6 times the prize of a regular shareware package, when strong competition is mounting in the horizon. Apparently, a "new version" has been released, but the "new features" seem so. Chris Carline writes: BBEdit's popularity continues to remain a mystery to me. August 31, 11:34 | Comments (21) BBEdit 8 released, bloggers long for TextMateīare Bones have released the 8th edition of BBEdit, but the reception has certainly not been the all fuzzy, warm, and welcome that the company might have wished for.
