The Ruby on Rails community has an interesting motto: Show, don’t tell. It is really worth to follow this idea, especially for tutorials or application pages. I usually look for links as Screenshots, Screencast or Demo on such pages — firstly you would like to see what a photo gallery looks like and then you will read instructions how to install it or how to change the background colour…

One of the mentioned presentations is a screencast. (Shortly: A record of everything what happened on your desktop (or its part) — window changes, keystrokes and mouse movements.)

How to create a screencast on Linux? There are applications such as xvidcap, vnc2swf, Istanbul and recordMyDesktop.

(There is more where this came from … )

With a great pleasure I read about a Ruby On Rails conference in Ostrava, Czech Republic on 22 – 23 June. Time permitted, I would like to be there. Well, at last something is happening, although we still do not have meetings of Ruby on Rails fans in every bigger city :)

S potešením som sa dozvedel o Ruby On Rails konferencii v Ostrave, ktorá sa koná 22 a 23 júna. Dúfam, že sa mi podarí nájsť si čas a zájdem tam. Konečne sa niečo deje, hoc máme ešte stále ďaleko od zrazov RubyOnRails-istov v každom väčšom meste :)

P.S.
Keď tak premýšlam, bol by záujem o niečo také v Bratislave?
