URL Slugs in Javascript (with UTF-8 and Transliteration Support)
/**
* Create a web friendly URL slug from a string.
*
* Requires XRegExp (http://xregexp.com) with unicode add-ons for UTF-8 support.
*
* Although supported, transliteration is discouraged because
* 1) most web browsers support UTF-8 characters in URLs
* 2) transliteration causes a loss of information

Getting Started with Rack

If you're writing web applications with Ruby there comes a time when you might need something a lot simpler, or even faster, than Ruby on Rails or the Sinatra micro-framework. Enter Rack.

Rack describes itself as follows:

Rack provides a minimal interface between webservers supporting Ruby and Ruby frameworks.

Before Rack came along Ruby web frameworks all implemented their own interfaces, which made it incredibly difficult to write web servers for them, or to share code between two different frameworks. Now almost all Ruby web frameworks implement Rack, including Rails and Sinatra, meaning that these applications can now behave in a similar fashion to one another.

At it's core Rack provides a great set of tools to allow you to build the most simple web application or interface you can. Rack applications can be written in a single line of code. But we're getting ahead of ourselves a bit.
