3 Ruby On Rails Tutorials

If you've been thinking of learning more about Ruby on Rails, here are three
excellent tutorials to get you started. Ruby on Rails ha been characterized as a
possible historic tipping point in development environments. This is a productive
new way to develop web applications. These tutorial articles step through the
development of a web application using Rails. Ruby is a pure object-oriented
programming language with a super clean syntax that makes programming
elegant and fun. Rails is an open source Ruby framework for developing database-
backed web applications. Its been stated that you can develop a web application
at least ten times faster with Rails than you could with a typical Java framework.

Really Getting Started in Rails
This Ruby on Rails tutorial goes a little deeper and explains some of the details
left out of the above two tutorials, such as some of the syntax and why things are
done they way they are.

Developing PHP the Ajax Way, Part 1: Getting Started

Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax), has become the most popular new
Web development technology. This is the first of a new two-part "Developing PHP
the Ajax way" series (2nd part is not posted yet). In this Ajax tutorial and coding
demonstation, you'll develop an online Web photo album application using PHP
and the Simple Ajax Toolkit (Sajax). It starts be coding a simple photo album app
using the usual method of PHP programming, to which Sajax is then applied and
used to create it into an active Web application.

Here are some more resources from IBM with which you can learn more about
how to use PHP, Ajax, and related web development technologies:

q PHP can be installed with built-in GD support. GD can be used, for
example, to generate photo thumbnails. For more information, read the
developerWorks article "Create graphics the smart way with PHP."
q Read the five-part "Mastering Ajax" series on developerWorks for a
comprehensive overview of Ajax.
q Start with the "Considering Ajax" series to learn what developers need to
know before using Ajax techniques when creating a Web site.
q If you aren't familiar with Ajax or Sajax, read "Using Ajax with PHP and
Sajax."
q Be sure to check out "Reading and writing the XML DOM with PHP."


Best 27 Eclipse Tutorials by IBM

Eclipse is an open source platform-independent software framework that is
focused on providing an extensible development platform and application
frameworks for building software. It delivers 'rich-client applications', as opposed to
'thin client' browser-based applications. So far this framework has typically been
used to develop IDEs (Integrated Development Environments), such as the Java
IDE called Java Development Toolkit (JDT) and compiler that comes as part of
Eclipse

After researching all of the Eclipse tutorials on IBM's website, I have compiled
what I believe are the best 27 Eclipse Tutorials on their site. Here they are with
linked titles and descriptions.

Digging Deep into Python Internals

Python, the open source scripting language, has grown tremendously popular in
the last five years. Python boasts a sophisticated object model that wise
developers can exploit in ways that Java, C++, and C# developers can only dream
of. These two tutorial articles describe and teach the internals of coding in Python
using some of its advances and cutting-edge features.

Dig Deep into Python Internals - Part 1

This tutorial article is the first in a two-part series that digs deep to explore the
fascinating new-style Python object model, which was introduced in Python 2.2
and improved in 2.3 and 2.4. The object model and type system are very dynamic
and allow quite a few interesting tricks. This tutorial describes the object, model,
and type system; explores various entities; explains the life cycle of an object; and
introduces some of the ways to modify and customize almost everything you
thought immutable at runtime.

Dig Deep into Python Internals - Part 2

In this tutorial article the author, Gigi Sayfan, contrasts meta-classes with


decorators, explores the Python execution model and explains how to examine
stack frames at runtime. Finally, he demonstrates how to augment the Python
language itself using these techniques. A private access-checking feature that can
be enforced at runtime is introduced to accomplish this.
