[ANN] The "Ruby Best Practices" Collaborative Blog

Gregory Brown

4/14/2009 1:15:00 PM

Hi folks,

This is a one-time announcement about yet another blog project of mine...

=3D=3D What =3D=3D

A couple weeks ago I put out a call for volunteers to run a
collaborative blog with me focused on best practices in Ruby. It is
now live at:

http://blog.rubybestprac...

=3D=3D Who =3D=3D

For starters, I went with an 8 person core group, which aside from
myself includes:

James Britt, Kirk Haines, Robert Klemme, Jeremy McAnally, Sean
O=92Halpin, Magnus Holm and Lakshan Perera

=3D=3D Why =3D=3D

You can read more about the details of the blog and each of these folks at:

http://blog.rubybestprac...about/

But the general idea is that we want to provide great content that
helps folks get better at Ruby while still keeping the focus on real
world problems. We also want to have a lot of fun, too!

Please enjoy the new blog, and get involved in the conversations that
crop up as we continue to write new content. We will also begin
accepting articles from casual contributors, so keep an eye out for an
announcement about how that will work.

This is already shaping up to be a must-read, with only two real
content posts so far. I really hope the trend continues.

My only complaint is the lack of a <title> tag on the home page. I
had to make up a title when I bookmarked it.

For those of us who read via RSS, it would be great if you either
published the entire article to the news stream OR put a "more..."
link into the summary so it is obvious there is more text.

Well, the summaries are completely independent from the text, so it
should be pretty obvious over time. I thought about full text
streams, but I don't trust the content to display properly that way.

There are literally *stacks* of other technical blogs that display their
contents correctly via feeds. What problem do you foresee?

I would prefer to read the full text via RSS if possible.

Great work otherwise!

Yes, agreed. If the full text isn't in the RSS feed I typically won't
bother reading it.

I read many technical blogs with rich formatting and it's preserved just
fine in my RSS reader.

Nice blog, especially the Blocks for Robustness post which uses one of
my questions and gives me another good method of handling that problem.
