Ruby: stream-of-consciousness
G'day:
OK, so I'm fiddling around with Ruby (as per my previous post), and am typing this article as I explore.


Prior to starting this I googled "ruby IDE", and saw a lot of advice from people to just use a text editor. There are always people who claim they do all their code in notepad or vi etc, and I always figure they're just trying to sound cool. Whereas I think they just sound stupid, because whilst anyone can type code into a blank, featureless typing window (and we've all had to do emergency hacks on prod servers using vi or notepad, so it's good to not have to rely on code assist, etc), it's not exactly the most professionally productive way of going about one's business.

It seems like the general opinion is to use the plug-in for NetBeans, or a plug-in for Aptana. The plug-in for NetBeans has been discontinued (although someone's blogged how to install it anyway... I might need to look at that later on), so I have installed Aptana as a plug-in to Eclipse, adjacent to my ColdFusion Builder plug-in. This seems to have had the effect of slowing down Eclipse even more, and interfering with my Eclipse config, so this has not impressed me one bit.

One of the Aptana pages I landed on suggested install Ruby via RubyInstaller, which I duly have done, and that all seems to work, which is cool.

I dunno how to do all the IDE-y stuff yet, but I can create a Hello World file and run it from the command line.

Very simple version:

# helloWorld.rb
puts "Hello World"

OO version:

# helloWorldOO.rb
class HelloWorld
   def initialize(name)
      @name = name.capitalize
   end
   def sayHi
      puts "Hello #{@name}!"
   end
end

hello = HelloWorld.new("World")
hello.sayHi

And at the command line:


Cool. I'll not try to explain what's going on with that code, as I have no idea. But it's pretty self-explanatory at this level.

Another thing I noticed is that Ruby has a CLI, which one can run using irb:


NB: I am also not vouching for any "best practices" here... I'm just telling you what I'm messing around with.

---

On the Code School website, I've started the reallyreally beginner "class", which has got me typing stuff into a web-based command interpreter. I'm currently keying in stuff like "4+4" and "Adam" and stuff. Type an expression in, and Ruby evaluates it. I can do the same in my irb window, eg:


Ruby seems to be one of these languages in which everything is an object, so the tutorial has had me do this sort of thing:

"Zachary".reverse
(yields "yrahcaZ")

"Zachary".length
(yields 7)

Note how method calls don't need parentheses.

I can also do this, which is neat:

"Zachary" * 5
(yields "ZacharyZacharyZacharyZacharyZachary")

So if one multiplies a string, one gets the string that many times. I tried this:

"Zachary" + 2

And got this:


Yeah... fair enough ;-)

Continuing with the tutorial, they demonstrate the inverse of me trying to add 2 to a string, by calling reverse on a number (which errors), and then showing how to convert the number to a string, and then it's all good:


Hmmmm... method names with underscores in them. I don't like that much. Oh well.

The tutorial observes there's a few conversion methods:

• to_s - to string
• to_i - to integer
• to_a - to array

Oh... I didn't even know which version of Ruby I was running (OK, I should have guessed from the install path: C:\apps\Ruby200-x64), so googled a way to find out. And found this page. One can do stuff like this:


So v2.0.0 it is.

The tutorial continues to explain arrays, and the syntax is familiar:

["tahi", "rua", "toru", "wha"]

And one can call methods directly on the literal array:


["tahi", "rua", "toru", "wha"].length

(yields 4).

Variable assignment is the same as in CFML:

numbers = ["tahi", "rua", "toru", "wha"]

And they observe arrays have a sort method:

numbers.sort

(yields ["rua", "toru", "tahi", "wha"])

There's two different approaches to sorting available. the sort method sorts the input array, returning a new array. the sort! (with the !) sorts the array itself, returning it. EG:


Notice how sort doesn't change numbers, but sort! does.

One interesting thing I have noticed. all this code is coming pretty naturally. With the PHP stuff I've been doing recently, I've needed to refer to the docs constantly to remind me what I'm supposed to type in. With this Ruby stuff, it's so "obvious" that it's sticking first time. That say... it's not like I'm doing anything complicated yet.

The next step of the tutorial is a bit gimmicky, but I'll demonstrate it anyhow. Typing this all in line by line in the CLI is a bit messy, so I'll use a file for this. Here we take the first verse of NZ's national anthem, and switch it around, line by line:

# gdnz.rb
anthem = "
E Ihowā Atua,
O ngā iwi mātou rā
Āta whakarangona;
Me aroha noa
Kia hua ko te pai;
Kia tau tō atawhai;
Manaakitia mai
Aotearoa
"
puts anthem

puts "\n"

lines = anthem.lines
reversedLines = lines.to_a.reverse
reversedAnthem = reversedLines.join

puts reversedAnthem

This outputs (the first one is the correct version, the second is the reversed version):

E Ihowa Atua,
O nga iwi matou ra
Ata whakarangona;
Me aroha noa
Kia hua ko te pai;
Kia tau to atawhai;
Manaakitia mai
Aotearoa

Aotearoa
Manaakitia mai
Kia tau to atawhai;
Kia hua ko te pai;
Me aroha noa
Ata whakarangona;
O nga iwi matou ra
E Ihowa Atua,

Of course one could do all this in one statement:

# gdnz2.rb
puts "
E Ihowā Atua,
O ngā iwi mātou rā
Āta whakarangona;
Me aroha noa
Kia hua ko te pai;
Kia tau tō atawhai;
Manaakitia mai
Aotearoa
"
.lines
.to_a
.reverse
.join

Interestingly, I've made a point of spreading all this over multiple lines, and Ruby works out what I mean no problems. That's quite neat.

There's a coupla new methods in there, the doc links for which are as follows:

• lines
• join

On the summary page there's an observation that methods can have punctuation in their names (eg: sort!)... that's good clarification: I thought the ! was a modifier, but it's actually part of the method name. Another example given is the include? method, which is quite cool as it works like this:

anthem.include? "Aotearoa"

Which returns true, as anthem does indeed include "Aotearoa".

---

We're still on the first tutorial, but there's a shift in content so I'll break there.

Next we're looking at hashes, which seem roughly analogous to structs in CFML (so far, anyhow...), and we quickly get into symbols too. The tutorial got me to create a collection of books (the first was its suggestion, the others mine):

# books.rb
books = {}
books["Gravity's Rainbow"]    = :splendid
books["London Fields"]        = :splendid
books["The Da Vinci Code"]    = :abysmal
books["Once Were Warriors"]   = :quite_good
puts books
puts books.length

(I've not read Gravity's Rainbow, but I found The Crying of Lot 49 a bit self-indulgent, and have no reason to think GR is any different. The others are my own personal opinion).

This outputs:

{"Gravity's Rainbow"=>:splendid, "London Fields"=>:splendid, "The Da Vinci Code"=>:abysmal, "Once Were Warriors"=>:quite_good}
4

It's nice that Ruby works out that if I tell it to output a hash, it realises it needs to convert it to a string first (which it knows how to do), and does so. Rather than how in CF we'd just get an error. It shouldn't be too much to ask to expect CF to know to JSONify or (given its veneration) WDDXify a struct and then just output it, rather than being unhelpful:

Complex object types cannot be converted to simple values.

Thanks, CF.

Anyway, whilst hashes seem analogous to structs, there's no equivalent to symbols in CFML. I got what symbols were, but the docs for them weren't very descriptive (in a helpful way), so I googled about and came up with two pages which described them well:

• 13 Ways of Looking at a Ruby Symbol
• The Difference Between Ruby Symbols and Strings

So basically they're just a constant label which can be reused in situations like the above: where one wants to use the same value or token repeatedly. Things to note from those pages above are that symbols compare very quickly compared to strings: with two strings, one needs to compare each character; with a symbol, each side of the comparison either is or is not the same token. Also as tokens don't get garbage collected (ever), they can cause memory leaks if used injudiciously. I would say one would need to go mental with them to cause a problem though.

A quick digression:

• Ruby is case-sensitive. This has been tripping me up when writing the tutorial code;
• Quotes seems to be interchangeable. The tutorial is using single quotes - which I happen to detest for strings (chars: yes; strings: no. I blame C) - so I've been using double-quotes. They seem to work fine.

Oh bloody hell. The tutorial just got me to type this:

 books.valu­es.each {|rat­e| ratin­gs[rate] += 1}

Err... OK.

What that seems to do (having cheated and looked at the result) is for each of the values in the books hash, increment the key of that value's name in the ratings hash by one. But let me show the code I've typed in to show you what I mean.

# books2.rb
books = {}
books["Gravity's Rainbow"]    = :splendid
books["London Fields"]        = :splendid
books["The Da Vinci Code"]    = :abysmal
books["Once Were Warriors"]    = :quite_good
puts books
puts "\n"

ratings = Hash.new(0)
books.values.each {|rate| ratings[rate] += 1}
puts ratings

And the output is this:
{"Gravity's Rainbow"=>:splendid, "London Fields"=>:splendid, "The Da Vinci Code"=>:abysmal, "Once Were Warriors"=>:quite_good}

{:splendid=>2, :abysmal=>1, :quite_good=>1}

Note how it's tallied up the counts for each symbol in the books hash.

Right, so checking the docs, new can take an argument that acts as a default for any preciously unspecified hash entry, which is why when we increment ratings[rate] we don't get an error that it doesn't yet exist. That's neat!

And each does indeed call the following block for each element in the hash. each can pass either the value or the key and the value (if applicable) into the block, as the given name. In the given example we're just iterating over each value, which is a simple value itself, so we only give the anonymous block the value. However we could have been doing this:

books.each {
    |title,rating|
    puts "Title: " + title + "; rating: " + rating.to_s 
}

Wherein we're iterating over each book, and each book has a title (key in this case), and rating (value), so we pass both into the anonymous block. Note how I have to convert the rating to a string before I can concatenate it to the rest of the string, because rating is a symbol, not a string. The output for this is:

Title: Gravity's Rainbow; rating: splendid
Title: London Fields; rating: splendid
Title: The Da Vinci Code; rating: abysmal
Title: Once Were Warriors; rating: quite_good

So that line of code with all the braces and the pipes and stuff looked a bit scary initially, but once one stops to look at it an analyse it slightly, it's all straight forward.

Ooh... the next example of a block is a good 'un:

5.times { print "Odelay!" }

Obviously this prints out "Odelay!Odelay!Odelay!Odelay!Odelay!". But it's quite cool how the combination of  5 being an object, and  having iterative methods like times with anonymous blocks works, innit?

There's another shift in topic now, it looks like we're going to investigate file ops next...

---

The tutorial has demonstrated two different directory-reading methods:

# dir.rb
(Dir.entries ".").each{
    |fileName|
    puts fileName
}
puts "\n"

Dir["d*.rb"].each{
    |fileName|
    puts fileName
}

The output is this (it's of the directory I'm saving the sample files for this article in):

.
..
array.rb
arraySorting.rb
books.rb
books2.rb
books3.rb
books4.rb
dir.rb
gdnz.rb
gdnz2.rb
helloWorld.rb
helloWorldOO.rb

dir.rb

Here we use two different methods of the Dir class. entries returns an array of each file in the specified directory. And the [] method uses a pattern to match files in the current directory.

And do you know what? Ruby has just died a bit for me. The [] method is shorthand for the... the... the bloody glob method. And if you've been following along my forays into PHP, you know my opinion of the idea of calling a method "glob". Grumble.

By default when using Dir the directory is the current directory (ie: that the file was executed from). For example if I was to consider just this code:

# dir2.rb
Dir["*"].each{
    |fileName|
    puts fileName
}

I'm running this as follows:

C:\src\ruby\misc>ruby dir2.rb

So I get a listing of what's in C:\src\ruby\misc\

If I was to CD up a level and re-run it (I have the ruby/bin dir in my PATH, so can run it from anywhere), I'd get a listing of C:\src\ruby\. The default dir is predicated on where ruby was run from.

I can change the current dir as follows:

# dir3.rb
Dir.chdir "C:/apps/Ruby200-x64"
Dir["*"].each{
    |fileName|
    puts fileName
}

And this lists the contents of my Ruby install dir instead.

One other thing to note here is if we go back to look at dir.rb again:

(Dir.entries ".").each{

Notice I've got the parentheses around the first bit. Initially I tried to simply do this:

Dir.entries ".".each{

But that didn't work because it was trying to do each on ".", which of course is a) not likely to work as "." is a string and it doesn't have an each method; b) not what I meant anyhow. So the parentheses are just to force the correct order of operations. Sorting this out was another example of Ruby being fairly intuitive. I didn't have to look up what went wrong, I just kinda knew the parentheses would sort things out.

Carrying on with the tutorial it takes me through some file ops, and touches on date functions. There was nothing not completely obvious here, so I'll not go into detail (it copies a file, appends to a file, gets the file's timestamp: boring). But the relevant classes are File and Time. One good thing about the docs is that the URLs are pretty hackable. I wanted to get the docs for the File class, and was currently sitting on the docs for the Dir class (http://ruby-doc.org/core-2.0/Dir.html), and as I've been traversing through the docs, I know to simply change the class name, eg: http://ruby-doc.org/core-2.0/File.html and http://ruby-doc.org/core-2.0/Time.html. This seems trivial, but try doing that with the CFML docs. Or just trying to find the Railo docs ;-)

The tutorial is also telling me it covered using do / end instead of using braces around blocks. I didn't notice this, but I'll take their word for it. Here's a summary anyhow:

# array.rb
numbers = ["tahi","rua","toru","wha"]
numbers.each {
    |value|
    puts value
}
puts "\n"
numbers.each do
    |value|
    puts value
end

These output the same thing. So what's the difference. Well from my googling about it seems that braces have a higher precedence in the order of operations, so will always be bound to what's to their immediate left. However do/end have lower precedence, so might behave different. The second comment on this blog entry explains it well. I'll replicate it here:

f g { }

is parsed as f(g { }), where the braces belong to the method g. On the other hand,

f g do end

is parsed as f(g) do end, where the braces belong to the method f.

That's fairly clear, I think. Of course one can use parentheses to avoid this ambiguity in the first place. But I think using braces is clearer anyhow.

---

Blimey this tutorial is seeming very long (I've been writing this article for 5.5hrs now!) I think if I was not typing this as I went, the tutorial would be about 30min worth of work. Maybe an hour's worth. Oh well... it's certainly going into my head better this way.

Anyway, now we're looking at defining functions. Just looking at the tutorial example, the general form seems to be:

def function_name([arg [,arg[...]])
    # expressions
    lastExpression
end

eg:

def greet(name)
    "G'day " + name
end

puts greet "Zachary"

Note that there's no return statement, simply the value of the last expression is what the calling code receives from the function. Oh: every statement in Ruby is treated like an expression, so returns a value... I shoulda mentioned that earlier, sorry!

The tutorial also contrives a situation to use the require method to basically include some code one of the examples uses.

Next we're looking at classes, and - as we've seen above, once creates an object instance with the new method (it's a method of the Class class), just like we would in CFML.

Creating a class is bloody easy. Check out this basic example:

# PersonClass.rb
class Person
    attr_accessor :firstName, :lastName, :dob
end

kid = Person.new

kid.firstName = "Zachary"
kid.lastName = "Cameron Lynch"
kid.dob = Time.new(2011, 3, 24)

puts kid.dob

This outputs Z's birth date:  2011-03-24 00:00:00 +0000

There's no real surprises here... the attr_accessor method defines the properties of the class. Once defined, one can use implicit getter / setter notation on the object instance

I've been doing all this stuff in a file and then running it, but remember I've got the CLI open as well? I can just copy and paste that code into the CLI, and it all just runs fine, line by line


That is really cool. How useful it is? Hmmm... I've been using Windows too long for me to really get a buzz out of command-line hacking like some people do, but it's good to know it's there if one needs it. And I'm sure people will pipe up with a good use case. I suppose I still do a bunch of stuff with MySQL via the command line, so it's the same sort of thing. I'm just more familiar with MySQL than I am with Ruby (albeit I'm so rusty with MySQL, there's probably not much in it any more!).

The next step in the tutorial is adding a constructor method to the class, eg:

# PersonClass2.rb
class Person
    attr_accessor :firstName, :lastName, :dob
    
    def initialize (firstName, lastName, dob)
        @firstName, @lastname = firstName, lastName
        @dob = dob
    end
    
end

kid = Person.new "Zachary", "Cameron Lynch", Time.new(2011, 3, 24)

puts kid.dob

initialize is the equivalent of init() in CFML. Also note the @varName syntax for instance variables. And the slightly weird way one can assign multiple values to multiple variables at the same time.

---

And that's it. The last few pages of the tutorial went back over some array methods, but they weren't anything noteworthy.

I actually feel I know a bit about Ruby now. And I've only completed one of the seven tutorials on it they have. I'm absolutely fried after this... not the tutorial itself, but the seven hours I've been writing this blog article. Still: it filled up the afternoon. And you have something to read.

I'm gonna do the other tutorials too, and I'll write up my findings as I go.

Interestingly... I think I now know more about Ruby than I do about PHP. And which one of these am I supposed to be learning? Oops.

In closing: Ruby looks like quite a good language. I have only a superficial knowledge of it, but I found myself going "hey cool!" quite a bit as I worked through the tutorial and messing around with the sample code here. And having read each page of the tutorial or the docs, I found it very easy to write the code almost intuitively. I don't even get that feeling writing CFML even now, after a dozen years. I know better what to do in CFML, but until I've rote-learned something, it's not exactly intuitive. Which is odd for a language that claims it's dead easy to get up to speed with development in. It's interesting having a new perspective on this sort of thing.

Right... I deserve a beer. I'm going up the road to have one.

Ruby via codeschool.com
G'day:
Cheers to Ray Camden for putting me on to this, but Code School are offering free online training all weekend, thanks to some outfit called New Relic sponsoring it. Yay for Code School & new Relic!

I was planning on doing some summery stuff like going into the forest and getting a decent dose of greenitude and vitamin D, but it's bloody freezing (10degC @ midday, about a week from the start of "summer"!) so I'm staying indoors and am gonna work my way through the Ruby courses they offer. If I find anything interesting - which I presume I will - I'll write it up.

However I had better also dose up on various forms of caffeine first, as I've already sat at this blimin' computer for 4h today, and my attention span is waning.

Wish me luck (not with the Ruby, but with not freezing to death en route to the station for a coffee ;-).

212 untriaged ColdFusion 10 bugs
G'day:
I saw this on Twitter last night, and - predictably - it f***ed me right off.

From: James Moberg @gamesover
To: @Adobe @coldfusion
I want to upgrade to #ColdFusion 10, but not if issues exist & aren't even being actively reviewed. Need help?

From: Adobe ColdFusion @coldfusion
To: @gamesover @Adobe
Can you provide the bug numbers if you have already logged them? We will review the same.

From: James Moberg @gamesover
To: @coldfusion @Adobe
Use search feature ow.ly/lmysL Type=Bugs Only, Product=#ColdFusion, Version=10, State=Open, Status=Unverified

From: Sean Corfield @seancorfield
To: @gamesover
CC: @dacCfml @Adobeis that right? 212 unverified bugs reported against @coldfusion 10? 

To which the response was (initiated by me, followed-up by others):

From: @dacccfml
To: @seancorfield @gamesover @coldfusion @Adobe
Yep, that's what I see as well. 212 publicly visible bugs in an enterprise (priced) product that the vendor hasn't even bothered to triage. That's very disrespectful of their clients

From: Jason Brookins @twinsploitation
To: @dacCfml
Trying to get to Railo as quickly as possible; this just adds impetus.

From: Adam Cameron @dacCfml
To: @twinsploitation @coldfusion @Adobe
Indeed. Do you know what though, it's not that there's a lot of bugs - everything has bugs - it's just that they can't even be arsed checking to see if there are any significant problem being raised. Or respecting their clients enough to bother suggesting they give the slightest shit.

From: am2605 @am2605
To: @dacCfml
this makes me sad more than angry. I wish we could all chip in and buy it off them and give the poor thing a good home

Please note: the 212 figure Sean cites is not "bug and feature requests", it's just "bugs". And it's not all bugs. It's just the ones that are a) open; b) haven't even been looked-at by Adobe. And just for ColdFusion 10.

I know I said it in the Twitter exchange, but to re-iterate: it's just completely unacceptable that the Adobe ColdFusion Team have such a shitty attitude towards their clients. Their paying clients. Clients who pay thousands and thousands of dollars / pounds for their product. And who have clearly been caught out by these bugs, so they are affecting people in a real world way, and enough so that they take the time to raise said bugs with their vendor, Adobe. This is borderline professional negligence on the part of Adobe (actually I'm not sure which side of the that particular border it's on!).

I hasten to add I do not blame the bulk of the Adobe ColdFusion Team for this. The developers won't be at fault here because they will just be doing what they're told. And clearly they've been told to ignore the bugbase. However I do firmly blame whoever is the decision-maker in that process.

I've been part of assessing the upgrade of a pretty bloody big ColdFusion install from CF9 to CF10 recently. I hasten to add I'm not one of the decision-makers in this and I will not express the opinions of the decision-makers here (I don't know their opinion, for one thing), but I will say that the upgrade involves licensing costs measured in the tens of thousands of pounds (many tens of thousands of pounds). If it was entirely my decision as to the direction to take, the fact that Adobe have 212 untriaged bugs sitting in their public bugbase would weigh heavily on me: why would I be wanting to give Adobe all that money for... nothing. For apathy. For client neglect.

To repeat what I touch on about, I actually don't have much of a problem with the number of bugs in total. Everything has bugs. And there's a good chance a lot of those 212 bugs will be minor, or so trivial as to not even warrant the time taken to raise them, or not actually bugs but people misunderstanding something. However a lot will be genuine bugs, and some might be serious bugs. But we wouldn't know, would we? Because no-one's bothered to look at them.

This paints a very poor picture of Adobe's focus on ColdFusion. Yet another one.

And let's not forget we're only talking ColdFusion 10 bugs here. What about the other metrics:

Version	Unverified		Verified		Notes
	Bugs	Features	Bugs	Features
8.0	1	0	1	1	(incl 1 "fixed" but still "to test")
8.0.1	11	2	1	1	-
9.0	21	0	7	3	(incl 4 "fixed" but still "to test")
9.0.1	110	10	35	4	(incl 10 "fixed" but still "to test")
10.0	212	79	192	32	(incl 15 "fixed" but still "to test")

So it's not like there's a policy of them to simply ignore everything, or they're just not updating the bugbase. They do look at stuff. They've verified almost as many bugs as they've ignored in CF10. So they really honestly actually haven't bothered to took at those 212 James / Sean singled out.

It's also worth pointing out that the CF Team have fixed really a lot of issues too.  There's 515 open issues for CF10, but 362 closed ones. For 9.0.1 it's better reading: 398 closed to 159 open. 9.0: 1550 closed; only 31 open. CF8.x: 1082 closed vs 18 open. So they do plug through the work. But that doesn't excuse not at least triaging all the stuff that people have taken the time to raise with them, at least as a professional courtesy.

If you want to know what 212 untriaged ColdFusion bugs looks like... here they all are:

ColdFusion Muse posted that CF Webtools is hiring again. Check it out! CFWebtools is location in Omaha, NE, but we have a large number of remote employees and contractors. If you are interested,read the job posting at the link above and contact us. A couple highlights: Frequently Asked Questions Do you allow telecommuting? Yes all our development positions are full-time remote positions. What sort of dev environment can I expect? We are en eclipse shop and rely on SVN, Jenkins, and an agile like approach to development. Having said that, as an outsource development company we frequently integrate with external teams. That means you can't always predict everything about the approach for the project you are working on. What Industries are you working in? We have sites we develop and maintain in the Financial sector (stocks, options, commodities, retirement planning and management etc.), Insurance, Medical, Pharmaceutical, retail sales, real estate, etc. We have a very broad client list. Will I get to meet the Muse? Yes of course... you'll be sick of me inside of two weeks. Do you use frameworks? Yes - all of them all the way back to Fusebox 2. We work on new projects in common frameworks like FW/1 or DI/1, but we also support a host of legacy applications done on custom frameworks or with no framework at all. I've been with CF Webtools since December of 2010 and it's a good place to work. (Fri, 24 May 2013 15:17:17 GMT) [view article in new window] Using MariaDB with Mango Blog In one of my previous posts I went over connecting ColdFusion to MariaDB. This was my first hands on with MariaDB. Once I had things talking I went to test using MariaDB as the database to connect with Mango Blog. Initially, when switching, I was able to view the main pages - posts and the other content. I could log in to the admin as well; but upon trying to create a post or edit content, I would get a ColdFusion error regarding invalid MySQL syntax. Looking back on how I set up MariaDB to CF, I had used the "other" option when adding a data source in the CF Admin. Since Mango Blog's setup allows for using MSSQL and MySQL, there was most likely a hang-up in identifying what DBMS was actually being used. I'm not entirely sure as I have not pursued this error fully. The solution that works actually came in part to a comment made on the above referenced post. Since MariaDB is a fork of MySQL, when setting up a MariaDB data source in the CF Admin, you don't have to go the "other" route. Instead you can simply use the "MySQL 4/5" option and, in the "Server" field, specify the URL and port to MariaDB. This will hook things up more or less the same as using the "other" option but the key difference here is that the underlying reference to the DBMS will still come off as MySQL from CF. When connected in this way you can easily choose that data source as a MySQL database to use with Mango Blog; but it will in fact be using the MariaDB database. So far in my tests everything runs and functions as expected. Obviously there is the possibility for this to fail in the future as features / inner-workings of MariaDB shift from MySQL. Of course this was more experimental than anything. Cheers. (Fri, 24 May 2013 14:11:57 GMT) [view article in new window] PhoneGap Online/Offline Tip A few months ago I wrote a blog post that talked about "robust" PhoneGap applications. Basically it was a look at the types of things you should consider to make your PhoneGap application more of an app and less of a wrapped web page.One of the main topics of that blog post was about handling connection status. PhoneGap gives you access to the type of connection the device has as well as events that let you respond to online and offline states. These are important features that (most likely) every single PhoneGap app should be using. I want to point out though a small issue with the code I shared. It isn't broke, but how I did things could be done slightly different. Consider this code block: I want you to notice two things. I've got event listeners for my connection status. Then I have an immediate check. My thinking was, "I want to know when things change in the future but I also need to know what's going on right now." However, it turns out that this isn't actually necessary. If you add event listeners for the online/offline events in the main body load event (not the PhoneGap device ready), then the appropriate event will be fired automatically. If you read the docs for the events (http://docs.phonegap.com/en/2.7.0/cordova_events_events.md.html#online) closely you will see that they demonstrate using the body load event. What may not be clear from the docs though is that even though your connection may not change, the event really is fired for you. Here is an example that I've slightly modified from the docs. Using this way of handling the events, I would not need a check in onDeviceReady. Thanks go to fellow Adobian Shazron for pointing this out. So... do you have to use this way of handling it? To be honest, I prefer my way. It is a bit more coding, but I'd rather not have onload event with logic and a ondeviceready. My way just "feels" better to me, but I reserve the right to change my mind in the next five minutes. ;) (Fri, 24 May 2013 10:30:49 GMT) [view article in new window] On Working Remotely (Telecommuting) I've been wanting to share my tips for being productive while working from home full time for a while now, but never got around to writing them all out. As luck would have it, I ran across an article that covers almost everything... I've had the good fortune to spend the last year-plus working at CounterMarch, which is to say working from home. We don't have an office to which I could commute if I wanted to -- but that's ok, because I don't. I've also been fortunate enough to have a few jobs that allowed me occasional telecommuting privileges in the past, but there's something substantially different about doing it full time. Because of all of this working from home, I feel like I've gotten pretty good at it. Most days I'm very pleased with my productivity, and on days when I'm not I can usually trace it back to a particular client issue (in which case I'm billing them, so their roadblocks become their loss) or service issue (in which case I go on the war path). On the rare day that I feel like it was something environmental or my own lack of motivation or energy that caused my productivity drop, I also feel like the good days outnumber the bad ones by a significant margin, and write it off to the law of averages. There are a lot of fairly-obvious productivity tips for working from home full time that this article covers, so start with that. Good, now that you've read that article, let me expand on it a little bit here and there... Workspace The missing element here is that your workspace needs to be desirable. The more uncomfortable and gloomy your workspace is, the more you'll dread work and the more you'll want to get out of there. If, instead, your workspace has the best stereo in the house (if you're into music) or if you invest in a super high-end chair (seriously, buy me this chair!), and your desk is functional and inviting, and the room is well lit, then you'll find you would rather sit in your office than on the couch. All of the above said, one of the best perks about working from home is that when the weather is right you can take your work out onto the back porch and soak up some Vitamin D (and if the boss is amenable, perhaps a tasty adult beverage)! Why not work outside when the timing is right? And speaking of leaving your office... assuming you're geographically close(ish) to some or all of your team, get together every once in a while. Steve and I originally planned to meet once a month at a central location (the Whole Foods in Plymouth Meeting is tremendous for this!), but for whatever reason we're both usually too busy to make it happen that frequently. It usually works out to more like every 2-3 months. However, after every one of those get-togethers I feel recharged and ready to take on new problems. It's nice to be reminded you're not alone. I also like to take one or two days between Whole Foods meetups to work from my favorite greasy-spoon diner or hole-in-the-wall bar (or both!). You can't beat cheap scrapple and free wifi, and the change of pace of getting out of the house is like a reset button if you feel a rutt settling in. Communication Steve and I are often both so busy that we barely type 10 messages back and forth throughout the day -- and chat/IM is our primary mode of communication. We do use email a bit more than is recommended in the article, but my rule of thumb is: If I need an answer sooner rather than later: IM/chat is appropriate (I expect a response within 10-15 minutes and usually get one within 30s to 5 minutes) If I know Steve is busy with a client or even if I just know I won't need the answer for at least 6 hours: email is better. The subtext is: If this was truly important, I would have IMed you, so just get to it when you can. That said, sometimes the stars align and we both sit in a Google+ Hangout literally all day. It's kind of the greatest thing ever. We can water-cooler chat while we work for a bit, and then we settle into a comfortable silence punctuated by occasional F-bombs directed at semicolons or service providers. Got a question? Just ask it out loud. The all-day hangout thing isn't for everyone, and even for us it's something we manage probably once every week or two. Love thy job The last thing I have to add is that when you love your job, it's not hard to be productive. I think I looked at reddit twice today, and one of those times was on my phone while I ate my lunch. The rest of the day I just grabbed the top card from the to-do column in Trello for my project, did the thing, and moved it to the column to the right. Cultivate a career that makes all of the hardships worthwhile. Here's an excerpt from the offer letter I got from CounterMarch: ... And it has been true. I see myself growing and getting smarter with every project. I feel lucky to have reached this point in my career in my early 30s, and I will have been even luckier if I can ride this wave until I retire. When you've got a boss that prioritizes interesting work over lucrative work, that understands the benefits of peace & quiet, and that wants nothing more than for you both to enjoy your work so much that you want to continue doing it... how can you not be productive? If you don't have those things, keep looking. Don't quit your job until you've got something better lined up, but never settle. And if you can't find that dream job, perhaps it's time to become that boss.
