Building WebSocket server in Ruby

https://blog.imanel.org/building-websocket-server-in-ruby

Imanels blog is writing on the Svbtle. December 5, 2010. Building WebSocket server in Ruby. About building WebSocket server inspired me to write another one, but this time about both server and client in Ruby. Currently we have couple of great implementations of WebSocket in Ruby - em-websocket. To name a few. And looking at each one of them I can see two things - they all are great, and they all are alone. What I mean? That’s why I built LibWebSocket. Usr/bin/env ruby require rubygems require eventmachi...

Testing Juggernaut using Cucumber and Selenium

https://blog.imanel.org/testing-juggernaut-using-cucumber-and-selenium

Imanels blog is writing on the Svbtle. January 24, 2010. Testing Juggernaut using Cucumber and Selenium. During tests development you usually use well-known and tested solutions like RSpec. They let you develop in a fast and convinient way. Unfortunately there are times when you need to get you hands dirty. If your application use only javascript then Celerity. May help. But as soon as you incorporate Flash or Java into your application things get much harder. For such situations the Selenium. The second...

CSS3 in every browser with SASS and PIE

https://blog.imanel.org/css3-in-every-browser-with-sass-and-pie

Imanels blog is writing on the Svbtle. June 18, 2010. CSS3 in every browser with SASS and PIE. Round me { -moz-border-radius: 1em; -webkit-border-radius: 1em; border-radius: 1em; }. And this isn’t “uniformity”, but hopefully that for some time only one of them will be needed. At the moment we need to put the whole set every time. And we often forget - as the example GitHub. Who sometimes remember and sometimes not to use “border-radius.”. Fortunately, if you use the help such as SASS. There remains the p...

Web standards in mobile browsers

https://blog.imanel.org/web-standards-in-mobile-browsers

Imanels blog is writing on the Svbtle. June 28, 2010. Web standards in mobile browsers. For the past few weeks I focused on developing Socky. There is also no support for @font-face or Web Workers. Maybe we see in the near future? I was surprised by the lack of SVG support - I understand that this is a very processor aggravating technology, but lack of it is very arduous. All tests were performed using a Modernizr. And some of them tested manually (audio, video, WebSockets and geolocation).

Moving forward with WebSockets

https://blog.imanel.org/moving-forward-with-websockets

Imanels blog is writing on the Svbtle. December 20, 2012. Moving forward with WebSockets. Two years ago I created LibWebSocket. Gem designed to abstract complicated WebSocket API and make it easy to use. During this time a lot things happened - several big gems started using LibWebSocket (like Selenium-Webdriver and Pusher), and it was downloaded nearly 1,5 million times. A lot changed in WebSocket world itself - couple drafts passed, specification was standardized. My next step is to start making pull r...

Accents in Sphinx

https://blog.imanel.org/accents-in-sphinx

Imanels blog is writing on the Svbtle. January 14, 2010. When writing web applications you need to use full-text search from time to time. Sphinx. And now everything should work great - the only drawback is that the Sphinx ignores accents and converts them into ASCII characters. But that’s a low price in exchange for functionality that Sphinx gives to you. Building WebSocket server in Ruby. Subscribe to Imanels blog. Don’t worry; we hate spam with a passion.
