    Well, back from inactivity ... at least I hope so. Finally Xmas holidays so I really might find the time to do something else but work for university stuff (although there is enough to do on that front as well). I guess half of my free time will be spent on playing games like "Burnout Revenge" or "Viva Pinata" for the Xbox360. But I guess I will keep the rest to do some work with Ruby On Rails.

    For the last couple of months I've been scouting a little bit around to find the web-framework that fits my needs the most. Well, I guess, something like this doesn't really exist. I've done a little bit with Django and now I've finally some useful web-project to work on again and I will use this opportunity and write the same page in Django and Ruby On Rails (and perhaps also in Symfony).

  • Ruby's website redesigned

    Finally Ruby has now also a nice website. The whole site is now in my opinion much more usable with offering links in prominent positions to guides on how to find an use 3rd-party libraries, the documentation and so on.

    The site now also uses Ruby on Rails in the backend with a CMS that has been written in the process of creating that site and that has also been open source'd. Great work :D

    For more details, check out the announcement on ruby-lang.org.

  • No explicity expiring cache in Django?

    Posted on Aug. 29, 2006 at 00:11 +0200 Tagged with , , , ,

    For the last couple of days I've been playing around a little bit with Django, a RubyOnRails like webframework written in Python. Sure, you can compare it to RoR if you want, but in my opinion it has enough unique features to set it apart from the Ruby framework. One thing I'm so far missing though from Django is some of the caching functionality from RoR.

    Django offers 3 types of caching (from what I've learned so far):

    1. Caching of a whole site
    2. Caching of single views
    3. Caching of single variables

    All nice and good, and I really like how this seems to be done, but I'm somehow missing a way, to explicitly expire a cached view. Think about following scenario: You have a weblog with posts on it, your frontpage holds a list of the latest posts in a teaser-like view which also includes the number of comments made to each post. This count at the end of the day isn't really all that important, so you simply cache the whole page for let's say 10 minutes.
