DataMapper Oracle Adapter for Ruby
Raimonds (@rsim) recently posted his initial version of an Oracle adapter for DataMapper.
DataMapper maps Ruby objects to relational database objects, so if you’re a Rails or JRuby developer, you can use Raimonds’ adapter to get into your Oracle databases.
Raimonds previously created an Oracle adapter for ActiveRecord, another Ruby-relational database mapping tool that he used to [...]
What’s New in Connect 4.0?
As I mentioned last week, we’ve released the 4.0 version of Connect, which includes a boat-load of new stuff.
Our main goals for this release were:
Put the focus on people, not on objects.
Make it dead simple to share anything.
Aggregate information by supporting multiple sources.
Provide intelligent filtering for easy viewing.
Consolidate output of the information we aggregate.
Give groups [...]
I Guess We’re a Product Team After All
Well, our big redesign of Connect, version 4.0, is finally live. Anthony and Rich are knocking out some final issues, but we cut over earlier this afternoon.
Luckily, it’s the weekend. So, our users aren’t using right now.
Unluckily, it’s the weekend, and everyone on the team has plans.
Next week, I’ll fill you in on the new [...]
Mix Listed on Ruby on Rails.org
Over the weekend, David Heinemeier Hansson, affectionately know as DHH, creator of Rails, made updates to rubyonrails.org.
One change was the addition of Oracle Mix to the list of production apps running Rails. Check out the list; you’ll probably recognize several of the apps there, and about the middle of the page, below the fold, you’ll [...]
Ruby on Rails and BEA AquaLogic
About 40 minutes ago, Chris Bucchere posted a OpenWorld session proposal on Mix. His session is called “Building Web 2.0 Social Applications in Ruby on Rails using BEA AquaLogic Interaction.” The session will also cover optimizing your application for the iPhone (or iPod Touch). Anyone who is interested in Ruby on Rails [...]
JRuby Meetup!
For those of you who are live in the Bay Area (East Bay in particular), I’ll be speaking at the East Bay Ruby Meetup next Tuesday. Here’s the talk abstract:
JRuby is fast becoming a solid (and possibly preferred choice) for deploying Rails apps. Rich Manalang from Oracle will talk about how he and a small [...]
Mix Gets a Plug at Google
Ola Bini of ThoughtWorks, who worked with Rich on the initial development of Mix last Fall, gave a tech talk at Google last week on “JRuby: The power of Java and Ruby“. He mentions Mix at about minute 61 and talks briefly about the project, built on the “red stack”, i.e. JRuby running on Oracle [...]
JRuby on Rails: Oracle SSO Integration
Laurent reminded me that I promised a write up of how we accomplished the Oracle SSO integration for Mix. So, I’ve created an Oracle Wiki page that has details on how it works. If you have any experience with Oracle SSO and Rails (or is working on a project that requires this), please add your [...]
Mix President’s Day Release: JRuby 1.1RC2 and a bunch of other stuff!
Since U.S. based Oracle employees don’t get President’s Day off, Anthony and I decided to deploy some new changes while everyone is off enjoying their day off. Actually, that’s not true, we deployed the new Mix changes early Sunday morning. What should have taken 10 minutes lasted 2 hours — it was a big release.
We [...]
Mix So Far
We just got site analytics installed on Mix. It would have been nice to see the traffic patterns the week of OpenWorld. Sometimes duh stuff like that takes longer than anticipated, but oh well.
We’re about three weeks in, give or take a holiday, so I figured I’d check out the ideas and share some thoughts.
Most [...]

Mix, JRuby on Rails, Small Teams, Agile, and it’s Effects on the World
A week after going live with Oracle Mix, we’ve gotten a considerable amount of buzz and interest from every aspect of Mix. Most everyone we’ve talked with are really happy to see Oracle becoming more transparent. Mix is a huge part of that. There are a lot of tool heads out there [...]
Let’s Mix
Hi all. Remember me? I used to blog here until of course Paul and Jake buried me with a crazy project that seemed impossible. Anyway, now that it’s out, I can talk about what I’ve been working on since all the fun we had with Connect this Summer.
So, far the buzz on [...]
JRuby on Rails Application on an Oracle AppServer
Finally, something to blog about! Progress is being made. More to come later…
