Jason is presenting some kick ass workshops on developing, deploying and financing Rails-based applications.
To quote Jason:
“The resulting workshop then is a two-day, focused, logical and complete bottom-to-top workshop where people can learn about how to staff, plan, manage, develop, stage, test, deploy, monitor, scale their Rails-based applications on an entire platform and actually do it in Solaris grid containers.”
Learn more about the workshops here and you can signup for the available workshops in Laguna Beach (August 23-24) or Frankfurt (October 25-26) here.
Pretty cool, and a great oportunity to try out some of the cool stuff the Joyent gang have been working on. And you even get a T-shirt!
And of course I should mention that this is courtesy of the fine folks at Joyent.
Could someone in the Rails developer community please create a webmail application that periodically saves what I’m writing?
I have this habit of spending a painstakingly long time writing emails and by the time I’m ready to send it, my session times out and I pretty much lose all of my eloquent and thoughtful prose. I know, I know, I should be frequently saving it as draft, but my brain doesn’t work that way and imagine I’m not alone in this. And hey, I’ve used a few webmail accounts in my day and it’s clearly an area that needs improvement.
Look, I figure with the whole Ajax and XMLHttpRequest business, this should really be a done deal.
What I’m after is the simplicity and usefulness of Basecamp, with an autosave feature that backs up what I’m writing every 2-3 minutes.
I mean come on, that shouldn’t be so hard, should it?
