Goliath has been in production at PostRank for well over a year, serving a sustained rate of 500+ requests/s for months at a time (no memory leaks, no restarts). Internally, we use it to interface with MySQL, MongoDB, Cassandra, as well as many other local and remote web-services. Goliath supports HTTP keep-alive, request pipelining, and can be used to build real-time, streaming API’s – all features we use to optimize our infrastructure.

Learning a programming language can be hard and time consuming. You normally have to go through a bunch of tutorials, ask questions, read books… Ruby is no exception: there are plenty of resources out there about it, but it is often hard to find what you’re looking for. So, as a weekend project, I decided to create a Ruby Compendium, a short book about the Ruby Ecosystem.

CRUD through HTTP is a good step forward to using resources and becoming RESTful, another step further is to make use of hypermedia aware resources and Restfulie allows you to do it in Java and Ruby.
WHY RESTFULIE?
Easy → writing hypermedia aware resource based clients and serversSmall → it’s not a bloated solution with a huge list of APIsHATEOAS → clients you are unaware of will not bother if you evolve

Trying to hire Ruby developers in Chicago is hard right now. Really hard. Like, I think every single one of them is happily engaged in their work. This is great for Chicago Ruby developers. This is frustrating for people trying to ramp-up their teams with local Ruby talent. How did we get here? How do we get out of this problem?
We got here because there are so many successful Ruby-friendly businesses that have grown quickly in the last year. Groupon is a Rails app and they have grown faster than anyone, ever. Braintree, 37 Signals, and Enova are growing. DRW hired David Chelimsky, Jay Fields, Dave Astels, Dean Wampler, and many other great developers who know Ruby. Over a year ago, Obtiva started relocating Ruby developers from other midwestern states, and Obtiva is now relocating Ruby developers from Australia and Canada.

Paste Ruby code or a URL to get Ruby syntax explained.
Explain Ruby will not be able to explain what the code in question does, i.e. the original author’s intent, but it will help newcomers to Ruby to learn how to read code by teaching them programming constructs of the Ruby programming language.
