Joshua Warchol's Ruby on Rails Tips

This page will hopefully develop into a useful reference for Ruby on Rails users all over the internet. Right now it's just a list of links and some advice. If you have postfix questions you should join the rubyonrails-talk list (see the main Ruby on Rails website) or come and chat in #rubyonrails on irc.freenode.net.

Guides and Documentation

Got "already initialized constant" errors when using the flickr library?
Isn't the flickr screencast nifty? Don't you wish you could follow along without getting "already initialzed constant" warnings? Well this guide suggests how to get around it.

Got "undefined method `size' for Float" errors when using AJAX?
It's probably because you passed a float to render :text => _____.
