Render error when upgrading from rails 1 to rails 2
Posted by Ivan Storck | Filed under rubyonrails
When upgrading an old ruby on rails 1.2 application to rails 2.2.2, I ran into a frustrating, somewhat un-google-able error, so I’m writing down the solution here.
If you get a render with invalid options error, the solution is to uninstall the textmate footnotes plugin, and use the rails-footnotes plugin instead.
Thanks to David Zohrob’s blog [...]

Ruby on Rails Code Quality Checklist – Articles – Matthew Moore
Posted by ivanoats | Filed under Bookmarks, Web Design, rubyonrails
In Matt Moore's experience, Ruby and Ruby on Rails has been one of the most difficult language/framework combinations to truly master. For someone who grew up on C, C++ & Java in the majority of their training, Ruby has hugely different (and better!) ways of OO design, and the Rails framework has a lot of opinions to be understood and remembered. As long as it's taken to master them to the level he has – and he's sure there's still a long way to go – he loves it and won't be going back.
