We’re participating once again on Codebits this year with the help of Bauke Schildt on the design.
We’ve decided to try something diferent and create a proof-of-concept remake of the MBNet platform to show how it can be improved and adapted for todays time.
BaseApp Orange v3

Time has been scarce but I managed to save a little to update BaseApp Orange.
BaseApp Orange is a fork from BaseApp in attempt to make it a more suitable backoffice and structure for my own projects but it might have something you like. It’s like I made a base for a cake and you take care of the filling. :P
Anyway, here’s the main changes:
- app was updated to Rails 2.3.4
- added New Relic Gem
- added inherited_resources plugin which enabled me to reduce a lot of code in the REST admin controllers
- cleaned up and improved admin theme and code
- improved admin generator according to inherited_resources. After creating your model run script/generate adminator model_name
- added iPhone style Checkboxes to admin theme. thanks to Thomas Reynolds.
- replaced FckEditor with TinyMCE. There should be a speed increase.
The code for the project can be found at BaseApp Orange Github page.

Tomorrow there’s a Ruby and Ruby on Rails meetup in Lisbon.

If you want to take public transportation, you can take the 732, 727, 720 728 buses that stop nearby (you have to walk a bit but it’s good for you) or the leave at the Marques de Pombal subway station.

Ruby nos Aliados

On this weekend I went to Porto to participate on the Ruby @ Aliados event. The goal was to bring the Ruby comunity together to network, trade advices, present projects and share knowledge.
The event was brought together in a very Barcamp-like style, informal but valuable, I guess. There’s some key points to be improved for next time but I think a very valuable step was put forward to atempt to bring people on the comunity together.
There was presentations on BDD, Cucumber, Performance on Rails (by me), Capistrano, lot’s of discussion on topics like IDE’s, deployment, testing and some interesting projects were also presented (like escolinhas.pt).
Looking forward for next time. :)
