Last night I attended the Winnipeg .NET user group to take part in a “Smackdown” between ASP.Net MVC and my beloved Ruby on Rails. As instructed, I brought a helmet and a bulletproof vest, but it turns out the .NET group was way more friendly than advertised! It was a lot of fun and I hope people enjoyed it.

James Chambers was a great co-presenter and I had a lot of fun comparing the frameworks with him!

So who won?

At this month’s Winnipeg .Net User Group meetup, I’ll be participating in a “smackdown” between Ruby on Rails and ASP.net MVC.

Over the last week or so, Snap Chop has been selling like hot cakes! We are currently in the top 300 paid entertainment iPhone apps according to www.iosnoops.com.

If you bought Snap Chop, thanks for your support! If you haven’t yet, what are you waiting for? Don’t you like funny stuff?

Last week I did a presentation at the Winnipeg Agile User Group on Behaviour Driven Development. There will be a video of the presentation posted soon, but for now here are the slides.

We’ve released a free, ad-supported and fully functional version of Snap Chop for Android called Snap Chop Lite. Check it out in the Android Marketplace.

Also check out a free demo at snapchop.me

Redline Software has released its premier mobile app for iPhone & Android. It’s stupid, smart, awesome, immature, and hilarious all in one.

We develop a lot of business related software, so we found it time to do something a bit less serious with the release of Snap Chop. Check it out at http://www.snapchop.me.

Snap Chop is available for your iPhone/iPad or Android device.

I’ve had quite a few moments while using Ruby when I decide to try to write something that I think should be valid Ruby without knowing if it actually is and it ends up working.

Here’s one of my latest finds using for loops…

1
2
3

  for a, b, c in [[1,2,3], [4,5,6], [7,8,9]]
    puts "#{a}, #{b}, #{c}"
  end

Results in…

1
2
3

  1, 2, 3
  4, 5, 6
  7, 8, 9

The for loop lets you can assign multiple values at the same time which is exactly what you can do with arrays with basic assignment elsewhere in Ruby code.

1

  a, b, c = [1, 2, 3]

I knew I could assign multiple values from an array like this, but had never tried it in a for loop before. Ruby ftw!

We’ve added a small new feature to Redzone. You can now create menu items that link to external pages just by specifying a url for the menu item.

Enjoy.

We’ve added a new email function to Redzone. You can now email all players for a given season. The link is accessible from the users and divisions pages.
