What is Rails Envy?

Rails Envy is more than just a blog about Ruby and Rails. We're a company that develops web apps as well as offer speaking & training. We also have a podcast and create funny videos.

Episode 030. Steven Bristol steps in for Jason this week for this information packed episode. Last week some of our stories got screwed up by the microphone we were using, so this week we're back with extra ruby flavor.

The Rails Envy podcast is sponsored this week by Sun Microsystems, bringing you a complete open source develop-to-deploy environment for Ruby and Ruby on Rails. Learn more at Sun's Ruby Development Center at developers.sun.com/ruby Sun's Ruby Development Center

Episode 029. Adam Keys joins us this week because he was in town filming some new videos with us. As always, a big thanks to Chu Yeow, for the edge Rails updates and thank you to our sponsor Sun.

A note about the audio. The audio this week is horrible because of a certain new microphone which we bought that will remain nameless that we will be returning. We'll announce the two poll results next week since the audio got completely distorted for a few stories including the poll. We'll also try and make the episode extra long to compensate. We're sorry!

Thanks to those of you who came out for my Web 2.0 Expo Talk in SF. You can download my slides here . If you want to share the talk with other people and see another demo of RSpec, I did a video presentation last year entitled How I learned to love testing which covers a lot of the same topics but is an entirely different talk.

I didn’t include my source, but to learn more about RSpec, go read the RSpec Home Page
