SFRuby Hack Nights

The San Francisco Ruby Meetup Group is hosting a hack night tonight. See the website for details.

Named scopes and includes

A pivot noted that, after an association was loaded via :include, application of a named scope to the association will result in a new query.

The moral- sometimes an :include is less efficient than loading the association separately. Mind your logs.

WADL

A pivot remarked on the existence of WADL, a sort-of SOAP-less version of WSDL, where you can describe a REST API in XML for machine consumption.

It’s 100% less SOAPy, but still just as <tag>gy.
