In this series Rob Conery shows you Rails 3 and the core concepts involved. The focus of this series is a bit more practical than theoretical - with the goal of showing you not only Rails, but many of the tools to help you get your site up and running quickly and effectively.

Rob Conery walks you through Sinatra, the lightweight Ruby web framework. Along the way you'll get to know Vim, HAML, and MongoDB as Rob rebuilds the MVC Music Store completely with Sinatra. "Understanding Rack" is bundled with this production and is Episode 2.

In this single-episode screencast I dive into the Ruby Meta Framework: Rack. If you do any Ruby web programming, an understanding of Rack and what it does is critical. It is the connective magic behind Ruby web frameworks such as Rails, Merb, and Sinatra.

In this production Rob delivers more than 3 hours of content focused on getting you and your company up and running on Mercurial. Topics include the basics: adding, committing, cloning, and push/pull. More advanced topics include working the console commands for improved speed, setting up the built in Hg web server behind IIS with authentication, and importing from Subversion.

In this series I build out the same blog engine that I created with ASP.NET MVC in our other series, Building My Own Blog. The idea with this series is a thought experiment - building two o the same application with different framework trying to use "best practices" in both cases.

In this production I set up a Linux server with Apache and Passenger, a module which allows Apache to process Ruby on Rails applications. This is an introductory series meant for folks unfamiliar with Linux, Apache, and Rails
