RailsDB

Quite possibly one of the most interesting things I've ever built. I'm using, and in some places reversing, ActiveRecord from the Ruby on Rails web framework to provide generic access to popular open source databases such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite.

It's still under heavy development and is only slightly useful at this time. Don't take it too seriously but please do have a look.

Rubyonrails Phone Words

See if your phone number spells anything interesting.

RJS TicTacToe

Curious to test the limitations of RJS Templates, I created a tictactoe game. It's quite easy to beat the computer opponent, but the RJS templates work great.

RJS Templates Howto

I gave a short presentation at work recently describing how to use RJS Templates. The presentation recording (~15 minutes) is also available for download.

Pastebin

I wrote a simple Rails Pastebin app for use with irc.

Book Recommendation:

C: The Complete Reference gives you full details on C99, the New ANSI/ISO Standard for C. You'll get in-depth coverage of the C language and function libraries as well as all the newest C features, including restricted pointers, inline functions, variable-length arrays, and complex math. This jam-packed resource includes hundreds of examples and sample applications. Overall, this is one of my favorite books.
