Hi all, I have spent my learning time watching two rails videos: Building Blocks of Modularity (lenght: ~30 minutes) ----------------------------- http://mwrc2009.confreaks.com/14-mar-2009-18-10-the-building-blocks-of-modu… This video describes kinds of bindings between parts of an application and how to make the bindings weak so changes in one module affect the other modules as least as possible. My rating: Nice video, worth of seeing. Usually known facts, but grouped together in an interesting context. Improving the Usability of Your RoR Applications (lenght: ~30 minutes) ------------------------------------------------ http://mwrc2009.confreaks.com/14-mar-2009-12-30-improving-the-usability-of-… I found the first half the most interesting, there are several tips how to make UI good looking and how to ensure that user feels safe and comfortable using your application. One of the examples is gmail's status message after deleting an email - it displays "undo" link in the successful message so the user can easily revert the action after a mistake. The second part displays changes in a specific application, this part was not much interesting for me. My rating: I would suggest it even for non-UI designers, at least the first part. -- Best Regards Ladislav Slezák Yast Developer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: lslezak(a)suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 960 190 00 Prague 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ruby+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ruby+help(a)opensuse.org

First post11! Just a reminder, I have just fixed a bug: http://git.opensuse.org/?p=projects/yast/web-client.git;a=commitdiff;h=6412… To illustrate how it bites, the attached program does this $ ruby snippets/throw-rescue.rb Doing it right I have rescued Ouch! Doing it wrong I have rescued Exception is not a symbol -- Martin Vidner, YaST developer http://en.opensuse.org/User:Mvidner Kuracke oddeleni v restauraci je jako fekalni oddeleni v bazenu
