You're taking your first steps into Ruby

The Well Grounded Rubyist

A good introduction to programming in general. Easy on newer programmers.

The future is here: Classless object-oriented programming in JavaScript.

Douglas Crockford, author of JavaScript: The Good parts, recently gave a talk called The Better Parts, where he demonstrates how he creates objects in JavaScript nowadays. He doesn't call his approach anything, but I will refer to it as Crockford Classless.

Crockford Classless is completely free of class, new, this, prototype and even Crockfords own invention Object.create.

I think it's really, really sleek, and this is what it looks like:

The CouchDB Plugin System

This document describes a possible future CouchDB Plugin system.

This is a work in progress, all the feedback is welcome. Please simplify and rewrite this as you see fit.

Once this is a solid description of what we want to build, we cna start building it.

	<html>
	<head>
	<title>WebSocket demo</title>
	</head>
	<body>

	<div>
	<form>
	<label for="numberfield">Number</label>
	<input type="text" id="numberfield" placeholder="12"/><br />

	A list of features that we want to see in CouchDB. Needs to be voted on so that it can become a priority queue.

	User Facing Features
	====================

	1. Conflicts are the rule, not the exception

	All previous versions of CouchDB hide conflicts by default (selecting
	an arbitrary but consistent winning revision). Expert users can find
	and resolve conflicts.
