As soon as I started to use it for a few hours, I noticed they took a some of their UI from Apple’s OS X and Windows. It’s the best from both OSs combined into one. Workspaces is cool. I’ve never experienced that working on Windows. I find that very useful when multitasking. I also like the way alt-tab works when switching from one item to another.

The best part of it all is developing with Ubuntu, which is the main reason I switched. I was having a hard time dealing with Windows and developing with Ruby on Rails. On Ubuntu it was extremely fast for obvious reasons. I haven’t tried developing in PHP or Java yet, but will soon.

You can also add more than number:

<a href=”sms:1234567890,1234567890″>SMS Message</a>

Nothing else. You can’t add a message along with it.

You can also see what this guy tried here and failed.

Web developers have waited for what seems like ages for this month to come along. Internet Explorer remains ahead of the rest of the competition, but since month after month it continues to lose ground to all other browsers, Firefox has now finally surpassed IE6, which is easily the most hated version of Microsoft’s browser. Firefox’s steady gain continues, Safari remains in a nonthreatening third place, Chrome is happily carving out a small niche for itself, and poor Opera can’t seem to budge from fifth place. In October, all browsers except for IE and Opera showed positive growth.

Check it out here. Of course it’s still basic and still in beta or pre-beta. Let me know what you guys think.

<% form_for :user, :url => users_path,:html => { :class => ’standard-form’ } do |f| -%>

That produces:

<form class="standard-form" method="post" action="/users">

As you can see I added a class called “standard-form” to the form tag.

Looks interesting. Planning on trying it out soon.

Basically it involves a controller and added a route to routes.rb. The first step is to create a simple controller:
class StaticController < ApplicationController
def about
end
end
I called my controller static, but you can call it whatever you want. In the views/static directory I created a simple about.html.erb file with the html:
<h1>About</h1>
<p>content here</p>
Then in the routes.rb I added the route:
map.static 'about', :controller => 'static', :action => 'about'
And that’s basically it. This is a really basic way of creating static pages in Rails. There are definitely more advanced and probably much better ways of dong this. Since I’m just a beginner this is what I did for now.

Hopefully someone else will find this as a solution when googling.
