Sortable lists with JQuery in Rails | Awesomeful

Drag 'n Drop sortable lists are a great way to provide a UI for sorting, well, lists of things. Most Rails examples out in the wild use prototype/scriptaculous and the built in Rails javascript helpers. In this walkthrough we'll provide the same functionality using JQuery instead. We will not be using the built in Rails javascript helper. Instead we'll write Unobstrusive Javascript using JQuery.

Crossing borders: Extensions in Rails

If you've spent any time at all with Rails, you've doubtless noticed the acts_as commands in ActiveRecord. Though ActiveRecord deals with persistence, you often want to add behavior to your classes beyond database storage and retrieval. For example, by using acts_as_tree, you can add tree-like behavior to a class with a parent_id attribute. By saying nothing more than acts_as_tree in your ActiveRecord model, you can dynamically add methods to manage the tree, such as methods that retrieve the parent record or child record. Over the past month, I've been able to find Rails plug-ins to handle voting, versioning, Ajax, composite keys, and all manner of features that basic Rails doesn't support.

Removing Rails validations with metaprogramming

ASCIIcasts

I really like Ryan Bates’s Railscasts, but videos aren’t the easiest thing to search through when you’re trying to search for a single tip or line of Ruby code to add to your own site. ASCIIcasts are text versions of each Railscast, each with a link to the original video. I hope you find them useful. You can keep up to date with new episodes on Twitter.
