Check out Raimond Simanovskis's updated Rails ActiveRecord adapter for Ruby and JRuby with Oracle DB: Oracle enhanced adapter 1.4.0 and Readme Driven Development. I love the "Readme Driven Development" approach. It's close to my favorite model which is "install Driven Development".

Check out the Oracle Magazine Editors' Choice Awards 2009.

Raimonds was at the Oracle OpenWorld Conference last week. He seemed to be everywhere: I bumped into him numerous times and got to see one of his talks. He was always thinking of an interesting problem or great technical challenge to solve.

Congratulations Raimonds!

Ruby on Rails at OOW

When talking to Raimonds Simanovskis the other week, I convinced him to sign up to give an OpenWorld Unconference session. Raimonds is the maintainer of the enhanced Oracle Adapter for Rails so this session should be excellent.

His talk "Using Ruby on Rails with legacy Oracle database" is on Thursday at 10pm, Moscone West 3rd Floor.

All unconference sessions are listed at http://wiki.oracle.com/page/Oracle+OpenWorld+Unconference. There are still slots open.

Other Rails activity at OpenWorld includes an interesting session on Rails and Oracle Mix at 1pm Monday (Marriott Salon 14/15), and a Hands on Lab at 2:30pm Tuesday (Marriott Golden Gate B1).

From a town that I recall spending some glorious, long summer evenings in (ok, actually just one evening - it was cloudy the other nights), Barry Keenan has a brief how-to on configuring Rails, Mongrel (a Ruby web server), and Pen (a load balancer) on Windows: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3.

And Renaud Gaudin has a blog in French covering, among other things, Rails and Oracle. His RoR tag is here.
