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

Creating More Using Less Effort with Ruby on Rails by Michael Slater

Getting Started with Ruby on Rails by Dan Benjamin

P.S. Flatsourcing have been working with RubyOnRails since 2005. We are among the first! And it’s the CTO of Flatsourcing, Timur Vafin who initially recommended RubyOnRails as additional and potentially main programming tool for Flatsourcing! A lot of skeptics including me didn’t fully understood the potential and future behind it! I do now for sure already since 2005! Also A List Apart does now too since 2008! Thanks, Timur!
