Riding on Rails

I’ve decided to spend less of my free time on blogging and more on learning new things. I had planned to change this site to run on WordPress, but have decided instead to learn Ruby on Rails.

From what I can see it is (in many ways) similar to CakePHP (which I love) but with more of a command line/linux approach. Also it’s a new and interesting language to learn, so I’m sure there will be some exciting challenges along the way.

I don’t know where this new road will take me, but if its anything like CakePHP, I’m sure it will be fun. (yes, only geeks find coding fun!)

In other (u)interesting news, the FCK Editor helper I wrote has been used as part of someone else’s cake-bake-enhanced project.

To be honest I think it’s kinda cool, my first CakePHP helper and people are actually finding it worthwhile…time to write some more…

Something of a first for me. I recently started playing around with the CakePHP framework again. I have had some (little) experience with it in the past and with the launch of two CakePHP books I decided it was high time I learned how to use this awesome framework properly.

A few days later I was trying to find a way to integrate my favourite html editor into the framework itself and after a lot of googling, trial and error and a little luck I managed to find a simple, reusable way to integrate the editor into the framework. As this was very helpful to me I posted an article on the CakePHP bakery, and the chaps over there deemed it worthy enough to be published.

You can read it here . Please feel free to send me your comments.

I’m just kinda chuffed the published it.
