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.
