Rails 3 API and Hadoop, Map Reduce, and Pig to be Presented

We’re extremely excited to announce two of the newest additions to our ever growing speaker list for Aloha on Rails. This conference is shaping up to be a true testament of the breadth and aloha of the Rails community.

Yehuda Katz, core committer and spearheading the Merb/Rails merger, will teach us the principles of the Rails 3 API. He will show us how to read and understand the Rails source code so we can customize the framework just the way we want. The public API for Rails 3 is a major development, and will help stabilize the plugin and extension ecosystem.

This Week in Edge Rails

April 18, 2009 – April 24, 2009

Edge Rails has been undergoing major surgery for the past week, as the core team gets ready for a Rails 3.0 alpha release at RailsConf. We saw about 50 commits to the master branch in GitHub this week. Here’s a quick overview of the recent changes.

Rails 2.3.x Changes

Before digging into the changes on the master branch, there were a few things committed to the 2-3-stable branch. If you’re running on 2.3 edge, these are ready for you; they’re also ported to the master branch already.

This Week in Edge Rails

April 4 – April 17, 2009

Just in case you missed the news: edge Rails is waking up, with Rails 3 changes starting to show up in the master branch at Github. So there’s a lot to discuss this week. If you want some more of the technical story on the Rails 3 rearchitecting to date, check out the detailed blog postings from Yehuda Katz.

Which Branch Should I Use?

One Giant Leap Forward

As of a few minutes ago, the first big bunch of Rails 3 changes were merged back to Rails master branch in github. This represents a good deal of work by Yehuda Katz, Carl Lerche, and others. I’ll have more to say on the changes later on this week, but for now, just a quick caution: if you’re in the habit of using Edge Rails, you should likely switch to the 2-3-stable branch for the time being.
