Re: MixAmp Pro Firmware Update: Xbox One Chat Adaptor Support

Kevin Faustino — Sat, 22 Mar 2014 10:35:19 -0000

I updated the firmware on the MixAmp Pro and tried out the mic on Upload Studio. The thing is now picking up radio signals for some reason and mixing into my voice. I couldn't believe it. The previous firmware was better than this.

If you have a solid foundation with MVC, and understand Ruby, you can dive right in. Otherwise, we recommend reading Rails Tutorial by Michael Hartl

We are covering the asset pipeline. Something like requirejs is outside the scope of the book. Personally, I haven't had a need to use requirejs for any of my projects, including some big Ember ones.

The API chapter will be covering building how to build APIs that are compatible with something like Ember.js. We will also be covering CORS, but haven't decided what chapter to put that section in. It will be either in the Ajax or API chapter.

The API chapter will be covering Active Model Serializers in depth, including discussing jsonapi.org. We will be using generic examples, but they will be based on Ember.js work I've done in the past.

The book update has a summary of release notes. The last release was the finished Helpers chapter.

Haml is just an abstraction of HTML, and can be easily followed if you do know eRuby . As for view examples, there are only a handful, and most of the book examples are just Ruby.

Tom, beta books aren't for everyone, but I personally love getting chapters and updates as soon as they are available. I'll let you know when the final is out.

Sorry about the late reply, but thanks for the suggestion.

The physical copies of the book will be sold separately once we finish the book up.

Hi Bob. We are using Haml for markup related examples. This time around, we are going to add a section in the appendix to go into more detail about it.

It will be published late this year.

Hi Guillermo, we'd like to get an update out very soon.

Hey Fabio, TR4W is currently a beta book which we are currently updating. The asset pipeline chapter should be included in the next update. Russian-Doll caching will be covered when we rework the entire caching chapter. As for Live streaming, it was covered in a section 4.8, titled Streaming.

What you are seeing are action pack logs showing a request was made. I'll remove the line about queit_assets in the post.

Re: Benchmarking and Load Testing with Siege

That is a pretty specific test. I personally don't know how you could achieve this with Siege.

No problem Ken and thanks for creating & maintaining the gem.

Re: Using Sidekiq to send emails asynchronously

Kevin Faustino — Wed, 06 Feb 2013 13:47:53 -0000

Your absolutely right. The inline helpers don't create the jobs array. Good catch.

Re: ActiveRecord::SessionStore Gem Extraction [Rails 4 Countdown to 2013]

Rails 4 uses an encrypted cookie store for sessions by default.

It was the gem they prototyped the feature with. You can use it by pointing to the repository in your Gemfile. However don't expect it to be supported.

Re: What's new in Active Record [Rails 4 Countdown to 2013]

Kevin Faustino — Sun, 27 Jan 2013 13:53:16 -0000

Great catch! Your absolutely correct. The multiple field dynamic finder is gone, not the single field one. Thanks for letting me know.

Re: What's new in Active Record [Rails 4 Countdown to 2013]

Kevin Faustino — Sun, 27 Jan 2013 13:42:13 -0000

Hey Brendon, the dynamic find_by_attribute finders are still deprecated. The pull request you are referring to is updating examples in the source. When we wrote this article, we did mention the find_by and find_by! methods which replace the dynamic finders.

Re: Generate Controller-Wide ETags [Rails 4 Countdown to 2013]

Kevin Faustino — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 13:24:23 -0000

Yes you can use it in the ApplicationController, however you cannot use it in a before_filter. The etag methods will be executed after all before filters are run.

No problem. I love 750words.com. It's like gamification for your writing.

Re: How to decrease coupling in your controllers & views with decent_exposure for better maintainability

You are able to use whatever you like by passing a block. The methods do not even have to be Active Record models. Here is an example of using a Draper decorator:

expose(:article) { Article.first.decorate }
