O’Reilly Media book: Heroku Cedar – Web Application Architecture with the Process Model
Heroku Cedar:
This book will show you how to build a scalable and reliable high-traffic web application using Heroku Cedar as a platform. Originally available only for Ruby (on Rails), but now extended for many more languages, Heroku Cedar is a very interesting choice. The application we’ll build is a ping service, but with characteristics that meet the requirements of modern web apps: cheap (many checks), high frequency, low latency, and trending. With this application we’ll show you how to architect, build (using existing and custom add-ons), and operate a full-blown, high traffic web application. We’ll use different technological components, such as a good dashboard, efficient scheduling processes, and scalable data processing. -

“the right tool for your job”
I thought, I should cross-post / sort of “retweet” this article “the right tool for your job” from the rails to the perl world. Of course, the words are different, and also the tools, but the professional researcher attitude is the same, I think. Maybe someone picks the article up and translates it into the perl world.
I particularly like, what he says in the end:Use what works
Use the best tool for the job, don’t be afraid to look outside your main language or to push outside your comfort levels. Don’t hesitate to make a switch to another plugin or gem if the one you are using doesn’t seem to fit your needs. Most of all, just take some time to really examine what you are using – it can go a long way.According to my experience you can’t share this attitude with most employers or clients, but as a professional researcher software developer I fully agree. -
Ruby User Group Berlin / 2010-07-01 “meetup” / a brief report
- Jan Berkel talked to us about Ruby on Google App Engine
(link added at 2010-07-02-14-42),
- and Benjamin Krause talked to us about Unobtrusive Google Analytics Event Tracking.
Of course both presentations were given with quite some compentence and professionality, but the Google App thing excited me personally far more.
Here are
I am rather keen to see Jan‘s slides and his code getting announced on the Google Group.
Well, ruby apps run in a Google App environment through jruby, which in turn runs on a JVM. Jan told us of two different working approaches. Rails does run in theory in that environment, but it takes way too long to start. Instead Sintra seems to be the ruby framework of choice wrt the Google App Engine.I might err there …, sorry, rephrase:
maybe that question is heretic, but simply put: what’s the status of perl on the Google App Engine?
Looks like nothing moved after 2009-07-01 with perl-appengine, right?
I personally would love to see a perl app say “hello world!” on the Google App Engine.RUG-B’s mailing list lives on Google Groups.

some *-berlin.de domains
All of a sudden today I thought I should register a couple of domains.
Here they are:Quite a good start — even e-mail addresses are set up!
If you want to have any such e-mail address — talk to me! -
reading RailsSpace (the book)
from ch. 1 (introduction):
Ruby comes out of the Perl tradition,
and Yukihito “Matz” Matsumoto, the creator of Ruby,
calls it “a better Perl than Perl”.
In our experience, most programmers with exposure to both languages agree.
We’d add that, for web programming, embedded Ruby (ERb) is a better PHP than PHP.
Actually although I (Jochen Hayek) was never terribly unsatisfied with PERL
(although I started a Python/IMAP project during my best PERL times,
because Python then quite intrigued me,
just as Ruby intrigues me now),
I also like Ruby better than PERL.
But one of PERL’s big advantages is CPAN.
I hope, Ruby’s repositories can compare to that.
So far I am not quite convinced of that,
but I am still quite willing to go for Ruby and Rails now.
It can’t be such a big mistake.
