Io gets Ruby-style string interpolation
This is nice for people who come to Io from Ruby: Io, the language, now has…
a C implementation of interpolate (by trevor with help from jer)
Just to give people a heads-up on this point. There is a slight
change in behaviour. Instead of using #io{...} to interpolate your
code, you now use #{...}. As well, instead of [...]
CakePHP: grab only the data you need
When dealing with an abstraction that outputs dynamic SQL “behind your back”, it’s often easy to forget that some of the queries are… too greedy and grab unneeded data. Here is how to ask for less data, using CakePHP.
Today, I listed only name and id fields of a Model, and to restrict the findAll() to [...]
Copenhagen.rb meeting notes
Update: photos by Pelle.
Syndication with AtomPub, APP and GData… and Rails
Olle Jonsson “explores” some things you would want to do with Atom… and how Rails enables you to do it.
Update: My somewhat confused slides now available (PDF).
DHH on ActiveResource
…and then I got lucky, and David was able to give us “how to do all this [...]

Calling an XML-RPC method (PHP, Ruby)
Calling web services. Great fun when it works. Thanks to XML-RPC’s simplicity, it’s quite easy to cobble together a working client. Here is me using the Technorati “ping” service, which tells them about the Copenhagen Ruby Brigade’s weblog being updated. And then, prints the result.
My PHP take on this looks klutzy. But the request gets [...]
List of local geek communities (work-in-progress)
I talked with a local PHP developer today, who’d seen my blog, and we talked some CakePHP, frameworks, servers, the general state of scripting languages, and so forth. And then we came to the subject of local communities, where developers meet up and talk shop.
And, as a Copenhagener, I don’t know very much about that. [...]
