Facebook Podcast

by Mike ManginoJun.19.2008

It's been a hectic week around here. After moving to Philadelphia on Sunday, I participated in a Podcast with Susannah Pflazer, my editor for Developing Facebook Platform Applications with Rails. You can listen to the interview at Pragmatic Bookshelf Podcasts. On top of that, I'm also hard at work updating the facebooker library for the upcoming changes. Hopefully things will slow down shortly to give Jen and I some time to enjoy our new city!

My Recipe Featured in a Video

by Mike ManginoMay.13.2008

I was really excited to have several recipes included in Advanced Rails Recipes. It's even cooler to have one of them shown in the video. Thanks to Mike Clark for pulling together a really great reference for Rails developers.

Sorry about the lag between posts. A vacation to Hawaii interfered with my schedule :)

Building a plugin (form_for and overriding methods continued)

by Mike ManginoApr.28.2008

In my last post, we looked at why Rails doesn't use getter methods in form_for. We also came up with a relatively ugly fix. In this post, we'll clean that code up and turn it into a plugin.
