HOWTO: Upgrade Spree 1.3.3 to 2.0.4

These steps were sufficient to upgrade Cult Cosmetics to Spree 2.0.4 from 1.3.3. Here are some details on our environment.

  • We only have single-variant products
  • We are not making use of stock locations (single warehouse)
  • Frontend entirely overridden w/ custom bootstrap layout
  • Braintree gateway
  • Rails 3.2.14
  • Upgraded from Ruby 1.9.3-p448 to 2.0.0-p247 in the process (no issues)
# example from the documentation
# ==============================
params = ActionController::Parameters.new({
person: {
name: 'Francesco',
age: 22,
pets: [{
name: 'Purplish',
category: 'dogs'
}]

Hurdles getting started with Ember.js

This is a brain dump of my experience trying to get something going with Ember.js. My goal was to get to know the ins and outs of the framework by completing a pretty well defined task that I had lots of domain knowledge about. In this case reproducing a simple Yammer feed. As of this time, I have not been able to complete that task. So this is a subjective rundown of the things I think make it difficult to get a handle on Ember. NOTE: My comments are addressing the Ember team and giving suggestions on what they could do to improve the situation.

App setup

The new guides have pretty good explanation of the various parts of the framework; routers, models, templates, views. But it's not clear how they all get strapped together to make something that works. There are snippets of examples all over the place like:

App.Router.map(function() {
  match('/home').to('home');
});

Am I doing it wrong?

Dear Rubyists,

I just lost a contract because of my code in a Rails project.

The specific code in question is related to a "posting a comment" feature. Here are the details:

In this project, "posting a comment" does not simply entail inserting a row into the database. It involves a procedure to yes, insert a row, but also detect its language, check for spam, send emails, and "share" it to Twitter and Facebook. I believe this algorithm should be encapsulated. I do not believe it belongs in a controller or a model. I do not believe Active Record callbacks should be used.

The "senior developer", whom is the stake holder's right hand man, said this:
