(Not so) Morning Brew #58

Another cup of fresh Rails and not so Rails brew. If you’d like to send in a link, please use this page.

Rails

• Rails, Micropayments, and Amazon FPS - I like the idea of micropayments to support “free” software. Say, 5c per download. At 10,000 downloads it’s $500 bucks for the developer.
• Using Rails, tinyMCE and Ajax.
• 5 Tips to Speed Up Your Rails App.
• Show flash messages on cached pages - interestingly enough just yesterday I replied to a topic with this very same question on Rails Forum.

Misc

• Unleashing The Potential of the Ruby Community - A great write up about developer communities.

Web Development

• MySQL Optimization - A few handy tips to optimize your queries.

Software

• e text editor hits 1.0 - TextMate alternative for the Windows platform is out of beta (via The Daily Grind 1203)
