In which I introduce you to the LOTD¹.
I was reading through trouble tickets at work today, and found one that was virtually incomprehensible to me. (Yay! Learning curve!) The resolution of the ticket, was, and I quote:
‘gem install money’
Uh, WTF?
So a-googling I goed. Went. (Whatever.) Turns out that ‘money’ is a ‘gem’² for Ruby, a server technology, which runs on Rails (a full-stack framework for developing database-backed web applications).
In other words, I need to read much of rubyonrails.org.
That site in turn led me to sites using Ruby on Rails, and I ended up at 43things, and then 43places, and then OMFGWTFBBQ!! HOW DID I EVER LIVE WITHOUT THIS the ever-so-fan-fucking-tastic allconsuming, where I can track my voracious reading and even stick it in my sidebar. Finally, I ended up at the creators’ blog(s), which I blogrolled.
Oh, and there’s also listofbests.com (yes, I’ve read 42% of the Nebula List – I’m such a geek! – without even trying) which also rocks my socks.
So I still don’t really know shit about Ruby on Rails, really, but I think I love the people who love it. I’d better go read some more.
