I love Cucumber, but I hate writing step definitions. They are ugly, awkward to write and very, very boring: Most step defintions merely create objects for a scenario to chew on.
Pretty print your Ruby objects with style -- in full color and with proper indentation
Rack middleware for rate-limiting incoming HTTP requests.
Here you will find pointers to manuals, tutorials and references that will come in handy when you feel like coding in Ruby.
ShamRack mounts a Rack app locally, just for your tests. It goes one further: it “mounts” it using Net::HTTP such that requests to the Rack app never hit any network.
As far as I know, the only plugin out there that handles this (semantic issue) correctly is Makandra’s Aegis. And they are GERMAN. It functionally works about the same as well. So props to them for that.
Asset Fingerprint Plugin for Ruby on Rails - allows you to use md5 or timestamps in query string or in asset filenames as suggested by Google Page Speed
Where there was once a consistent API to manipulate and hook into the lifecycle of a persistent object, plugins must now perform very careful checks whether an object supports more advanced traits like transactions, observers or dirty attribute tracking.

The FUSE project allows you to create filesystems in userspace - which means you can create a filesystem without having to get your hands dirty and modify your kernel source. This is insanely cool, and can be used for many purposes. Here we're going to look at using the Ruby bindings to create a simple filesystem.
Here is a set of additive color model conversion algorithms that I found published on Wikipedia and have implemented in JavaScript.
Dokan Ruby is a Ruby extension library to write a file system for Windows. This extension also has compatible API with FuseFS (Ruby extension for FUSE). You can write a file system only in 25 lines.
We're excited to announce PDFKit, an open source library that makes working with wkhtmltopdf a snap.
We recently decided our CI server needed an overhaul. I really enjoyed Integrity as a build server, but after trying out Hudson it’s hard to say I want to go back. Hudson has several huge advantages.
Provides an irb session to an existing ruby process.
The basics of Isolate, a tool for replacing Bundler in gem management.
A thorough introduction to web development with Ruby on Rails
Clockwork is a cron replacement. It runs as a lightweight, long-running Ruby process which sits alongside your web processes (Mongrel/Thin) and your worker processes (DJ/Resque/Minion/Stalker) to schedule recurring work at particular times or dates. For example, refreshing feeds on an hourly basis, or send reminder emails on a nightly basis, or generating invoices once a month on the 1st.
Test spies are a form of test double that preserves the normal four-phase unit
What do we expect from the custom finder? We expect that it should find assets A, B, C and should not find assets D, E, F. And sometimes the order is important: it should find A, B C with exact order.
