Vérifier que le partitionnement convient

Avant de se lancer, rien de tel que revoir le partitionnement, car après, c'est un peu plus dur.

Code School Screencasting Framework

Screencasting Framework

The following document is a written account of the Code School screencasting framework. It should be used as a reference of the accompanying screencast on the topic.

Why you should care about screencasting?

You're probably aren't going to take the time to read this document if you're not interested, but there are a lot of nice side effects caused by learning how to create quality screencasts.

  1. Communicating more effectively - At Envy Labs we produce screencasts for our clients all the time. Whether it's demoing a new feature or for a presentation for an invester, they're often much more effective and pleasent than a phone call or screen sharing.

Legacy Databases

Legacy Databases

Not every application starts from scratch, sometime you have to deal with a legacy database. Walking the Rails golden path makes life easy, and there's a perception that stepping off that path is incredibly painful.

It's not true. If your database is well designed and but doesn't follow the Rails naming conventions, it's easy to make them play nicely together. However, if your database structure is crap to begin with, then there's only so much Rails can do for you. ActiveRecord is a mapper between the database and objects, but it's not a DBA-in-a-Box.

Theory

In a green-field app, ActiveRecord and the Database fit right together:

Validations

Data integrity is an underrated part of proper application architecture. Many of the bugs in production systems are triggered by missing or malformed user data. If a user can possibly screw it up or screw with it, they will. Validations in the model can help!

On Syntax

Before we begin, let's talk about syntax. There are two primary syntaxes for writing validations in Rails 3:

validates_presence_of :price

Controller Filters

Controller Filters

The Rails REST implementation dictates the default seven actions for your controllers, but frequently we want to share functionality across multiple actions or even across controllers. Controller filters are the easiest way to do that.

Before, After, and Around

There are three types of filters implemented in Rails:

  • a before_filter runs before the controller action
  • an after_filter runs after the controller action
