Encapsulation in JavaScript

JavaScript does not allow you to define a method as public or private. This is a limitation users need to get around to, because in real life you don’t want to expose all methods as public method.

Here is a simple implementation of the case where you want to verify input code.

Double Shot #559

I’m putting in way too many late nights these days.

My Tools of the Trade – 2009

I originally posted this list in mid-2008, and it seems about time for an update. So, here are the tools I tap most often these days in building web sites and doing my other work:

Hardware

For the most part, I haven’t upgraded hardware in the past year. The desktop box is starting to feel its age, and I’d like to treat myself to an upgrade, but I can’t quite justify the cost yet.

Open File Fast updated for JEdit 4.3pre17

This is update for all you JEdit users who updated your beloved JEdit to 4.3pre17, did plugins update and found that OFF is not working anymore.

Newest JEdit offers update of ProjectViewer plugin to version 2.9.1 which is quite not compatible with 2.7.x line. There were some changes in the PV API which broke OFF. I’ve updated OFF to work with new ProjectViewer and now you can use it again. This is only compatibility relase, no new features.

What I’ve Earned and Learned From Writing A Popular(ish) Ruby Book

begruby-edition-2-cover.gif A few days ago I received the latest in a long line of royalty statements for my book, Beginning Ruby (as published by Apress).

Attempted peace

I’ve been toying around with the idea for a small website lately, but never actually got around to do it. In an attempt to clear out my personal to do list I finally motivated myself to start yesterday, and I have to say the following combination of tools is not only insanely efficient, but also really fun to work with:

Switching to Gemcutter

So GitHub dropped gem support. No problem – Gemcutter, the drop-in replacement, is simple to use. (And now my gems get canonical names!) I’ve pushed my Rails gems (ActiveUrl, Subdomain Routes and Paged Scopes) to the new host, and updated the README installation instructions.
