Brent's Tech Ramblings: Compiling Rails project for distribution in a WAR file with JRuby
http://www.brentsowers.com/2012/01/compiling-rails-project-for.html
My blog for posts about random software and technical stuff, non-geeks stay away. Tuesday, January 17, 2012. Compiling Rails project for distribution in a WAR file with JRuby. After you have JRuby installed, simply install the gem warbler. You'll then get a command line tool, warble, to generate war files from your project. Simply run warble from your project's directory, and a war file will be produced. It's as easy as that! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Coming from a Ruby on Rails and PHP background, a lot of this was new to me, and the books typically assume you've done a lot of Java development and are used to dealing with build tools, compiling, dependencies, etc. Book which I would hi...

My blog for posts about random software and technical stuff, non-geeks stay away. Wednesday, January 4, 2012. Rails 3.1 "Could not find a JavaScript runtime" error. For a list. If you're running in Mac or Windows, you're good, there are system libraries to do it. But if you're in Linux, unless you have node.js installed, it won't work. So to get things to work you'll need to add one of the gems listed on the execjs page. If you're running the MRI Ruby, just add:. January 5, 2012 at 12:24 AM. I have made ...

Brent's Tech Ramblings: Hiring remote workers versus local

DHH recently posted a blog entry Stop whining and start hiring remote workers. Part of me believes that they are just saying this because it sells books. They have cultivated this crowd of sheep or zombies, but definitely not pirate ninjas, who will pick up whatever they put out there. Maybe fan boys is a better way to put it.
