Clay Shirky / April 26, 2008

transcription of a speech [Clay Shirky] gave at the Web 2.0 in 2008, emphasis by @jm3
I was recently reminded of some reading I did in college, way back in the last century, by a British historian arguing that the critical technology, for the early phase of the industrial revolution, was gin.
The transformation from rural to urban life was so sudden, and so wrenching, that the only thing society could do to manage was to drink itself into a stupor for a generation. The stories from that era are amazing-- there were gin pushcarts working their way through the streets of London.
And it wasn't until society woke up from that collective bender that we actually started to get the institutional structures that we associate with the industrial revolution today. Things like public libraries and museums, increasingly broad education for children, elected leaders--a lot of th

                Creating nested resources in ruby on rails 3 and updating scaffolding links and redirection
              
          
    In this article, I'll walk through a basic Rails (3.2.x) setup for creating a nested resource for two models. Nested resources work well when you want to build out URL structure between two related models, and still maintain a RESTful convention. This code assumes you are running RVM to manage Ruby/Gem versions, and Git for version control.
Creating a new Rails project

$ mkdir family # create rvm gemset 
$ echo "rvm use --create ruby-1.9.2@family" > family/.rvmrc 
$ cd family # install rails 
$ gem install rails # create new rails project 
$ rails new . # version control

Definitions


Location - The location of the application. Usually just a URL, but the location can contain multiple pieces of information that can be used by an app

pathname - The "file/directory" portion of the URL, like invoices/123
search - The stuff after ? in a URL like /assignments?showGrades=1.
query - A parsed version of search, usually an object but not a standard browser feature.
hash - The # portion of the URL. This is not available to servers in request.url so its client only. By default it means which part of the page the user should be scrolled to, but developers use it for various things.
state - Object associated with a location. Think of it like a hidden URL query. It's state you want to keep with a specific location, but you don't want it to be visible in the URL.
