Random Ruby Newsletter #26

Author of telegraph version Dmitry Evgenevich

Hello, guys! This issue is a bit late because I have so much work to do these days. Which is good because of money and a bit bad because of lack of free time :)

Anyway, here is a new issue of Random Ruby and I hope you’ll like it!

Articles

Ruby on Rails Code Audits: 8 Steps to Review Your App - How to audit your (or not) Rails application. Could be useful when you are joining to the team with some code already written.

Learn every language - A language is just a tool, remember that. Here’s how you can be fluent in every single programming language. Not an easy way tho.

Running feature specs with Capybara and Chrome headless - A new shiny thing in Rails applications testing is Chrome headless. They say it’s faster than other options.

Creating a Heroku-like Deployment Solution with Docker - If you want to deploy as easy as to Heroku but also have a taste for Docker. Good introduction, but I personally prefer Dokku for Heroku-like deployment experience.

Preventing security issues in Ruby on Rails (based on OWASP cheatsheet) - Another list of things you’d better avoid and/or prevent in Rails apps development.

Turbolinks' lifecycle explained - Detailed explanation on what’s going on when you’re requesting a page with Turbolinks.

Stuff

piperator - Ever used Elixir’s pipe operator? Here’s an implementation in for Ruby. Weird thing, tbh.

carrierwave-attachmentscanner - It’s all about security. 

Will help you to scan uploads for free (10 000 uploads per month) or on paid basis.

Minio - It’s like S3 but in your own cloud. API is the same.

pgloader - Load your data into PG DB really fast. Neat thing.

real-world-sinatra - Some real world examples of applications written with Sinatra usage.

rails5-spec-converter - A tool to upgrade Rails 4-style specs to Rails 5-style.

In short

Found an interesting image with a roadmap on developer’s progression, clickable.
