Ruby helper for parsing dates of an unknown format.
# ParseDate
#
# A helper for parsing dates of an unknown format.
#
# Takes a randomly formatted date and makes a best guess at the date, or throws and exception if
# there's no best guess. Will take international dates into account if you pass in a 'short form' date
# to help suggest a starting point for the search.
# Will also try Chronic parsing to get relative dates (yesterday, tomorrow, in 3 days, etc.)

mqtt.connect do |c|
c.publish('test/foo/bar','this is a test message #{Time.now}')

# Bustle is a pubsub system used for activity streams:

#
# Here when a person follows another (or a discussion, for instance), the observer wires
# up pubsub between them for future activity notifications. The Follow model knows nothing
# about the implementation choices for the pubsub system.

15 Questions to Ask During a Ruby Interview

Originally published in June 2008

When hiring Ruby on Rails programmers, knowing the right questions to ask during an interview was a real challenge for me at first. In 30 minutes or less, it's difficult to get a solid read on a candidate's skill set without looking at code they've previously written. And in the corporate/enterprise world, I often don't have access to their previous work.

To ensure we hired competent ruby developers at my last job, I created a list of 15 ruby questions -- a ruby measuring stick if you will -- to select the cream of the crop that walked through our doors.

What to expect

Candidates will typically give you a range of responses based on their experience and personality. So it's up to you to decide the correctness of their answer.
