Rails Workshop Summer '09
I’ve uploaded the movie importer code and supporting files to gist that we covered during the session.
If you want to get a better feel for some of the other CSV and XML libraries in Ruby I’d suggest modifying the movie importer code as follows:
- rewrite the CSV import code using the FasterCSV gem
- rewrite the XML import code using one of the following gems:
- LibXML (gem is called libxml-ruby)
- Nokogiri
- Hpricot

I recaptured the slides. It’s a little more stale than the class was, shorter (half an hour), and not quite as interesting without the questions and feedback from the class, but at least there’s a better explanation of what we’re up to with this project. A funny video I used in class to demonstrate the power of scaffolding can be found here. It’s worth taking a look. Notice how many typical features are NOT in the film: dialog, continuity, etc. Yet, it works. That’s what we do when we setup scaffolding: get the big picture of what we’re creating and fill in only as many gaps as we need to.
