Hey everybody!

Let me show you what we have in our github account for prototyping Rails applications.

Here is skeleton for Rails 3 based applications filled with:

• Basic auth: Devise app/models/user.rb
• Navigation: SimpleNavigation config/navigations
• DRY controllers: Inherited Resources
• Form builder: Formtastic config/initializers/formtastic.rb
• List builder: Tabletastic config/initializers/tabletastic.rb
• Default styles for Formtastic: Flutie
• Application config: Configatron config/config.yml
• JS Framework: Jquery-rails
• Tests: RSpec, Shoulda, RR, Cucumber, Factory Girl, Autotest
• Code metrics: rails_best_practices and rcov

We know there are a lot of other templates like Suspenders and brand new Prologue .

But we want concentrate on scaffolding and that’s is why we have a little bit customized templates for scaffold views, controllers and cucumber features.

If you intrested, please checkout Rails3 Base github repo , feel free to fork, send pull requests.

Thanks,
Timur

New Orleans is home to many exciting happenings in the world of Ruby on Rails this week as RubyConf comes to New Orleans for the first time.  We’re excited to be hosting events at Launch Pad and sponsoring events through Flatsourcing.  I wanted to take a minute to share everything that is going on this week.

• RoR Training Fundraiser - 11/10 9am-4pm - Jumpstart Lab is hosting an all-day training session at Launch Pad on Wed.  This class is an excellent TDD/Rails3 primer.  I’m personally looking forward to taking this class and challenging Anton to a code-off next time I’m in Kazan. All proceeds from the class are going to a Teach For America classroom. Sign up here.
• RubyConf - 11/11-13 - RubyConf will be held at the Hilton Riverside and features three days of fantastic content.
• RubyHappy Happy Hour - 11/11 5-7pm - Join us at the IP building for happy hour in the IP building and at Capdeville hosted by iSeatz, Audiosocket, Flatsourcing & Launch Pad. Sign up here.
• Ruby Bayou Meetup - 11/11 7pm - Following the happy hour, take part in New Orleans’ own Ruby Bayou monthly meeting at Launch Pad. Register now.

I’m excited to be supporting these through Flatsourcing & Launch Pad, and most of all, I’m excited to take the class on Wednesday and start rocking the rails myself

We love to receive feedback on the flatsourcing web-site and also on the small open-source projects available publicly in our fs github account. Here was the feedback that have received recently through one of the social networks:

Oleg,

I’ve checked your website (as I do once in a while) - nice interface for exams project.
And just a minor suggestion - it might be better to write ‘Ruby on Rails’
instead of ‘RubyonRails’ on your site - looks like 37signals do that, and they should know. Also you have XHTML as your specialty before RoR - not good…

Cheers,

Michael
