Today I ran a quick twitter poll asking: "What is the state of the art
in Ruby SOAP clients".

Savon (http://savonrb.com/) was by far the big winner with 29
recommendations.

Surprisingly Soap4r actually got 6 votes, but most were accompanied by
comments like "the last time I used SOAP". It was also the only entry
that got negative votes (3) with comments like "soap4r is broken and
crap by the way".

Installing a Gem on Heroku from a Private GitHub Repo

Sometimes you want to use a gem on Heroku that is in a private repository on GitHub.

Using git over http you can authenticate to GitHub using basic authentication. However, we don't want to embed usernames and passwords in Gemfiles. Instead, we can use authentication tokens.

1. Get an OAuth Token from GitHub

First you will need to get an OAuth Token from GitHub using your own username and "note"

In August 2007 a hacker found a way to expose the PHP source code on facebook.com. He retrieved two files and then emailed them to me, and I wrote about the issue:

http://techcrunch.com/2007/08/11/facebook-source-code-leaked/

It became a big deal:

http://www.techmeme.com/070812/p1#a070812p1

The two files are index.php (the homepage) and search.php (the search page)

#
# this module encapsulate the interface expected by DelayedJob, and Resque -
# if you use it your app will not need to change if you change background
# processing systems.  it also centralizes and makes easy to test all
# potential background jobs independently of your preferred system.
#
# all jobs are stored in the db, but a queueing system, like resque, is used
# to run them in the background.  this way the job class can support a rich
# query interface and persistence regardless of the background processing
# system used.
