In this talk, the speaker will outline some options you have for testing your AJAX-powered Ruby on Rails application from both the client and server sides. The speaker will show examples illustrating how to test your RJS calls from the server-side with the use of some Rails plugins, and how to test the same calls in the client-side using with Selenium, a tool that allows you to write automated web application UI tests using any mainstream JavaScript-enabled browser.]]></description></item><item><title>Paul Levy of Ruby On Gears</title><guid isPermaLink="true">http://ruby.sys-con.com/read/418885.htm</guid><link>http://ruby.sys-con.com/read/418885.htm</link><pubDate>Tue, 21 Aug 2007 09:00:00 EST</pubDate><comments>http://ruby.sys-con.com/read/418885_f.htm</comments><description><![CDATA[SOA Conference 2007 East]]></description></item><item><title>Microsoft Distributes Pre-Alpha Code of IronRuby for Silverlight</title><guid isPermaLink="true">http://ruby.sys-con.com/read/408454.htm</guid><link>http://ruby.sys-con.com/read/408454.htm</link><pubDate>Sat, 28 Jul 2007 08:45:00 EST</pubDate><comments>http://ruby.sys-con.com/read/408454_f.htm</comments><description><![CDATA[Microsoft has sent out pre-alpha code of IronRuby, its version of the Ruby language that will let developers write .NET programs in, well, Ruby and suggestively IE and the Safari browser programs using the soon-to-be Adobe Flash-like Silverlight 1.1.

In this presentation, Alex Bunardzic will argue that Ruby on Rails might be the most optimal API for programming the web. He bases his convictions on the fact that Rails is built upon the Resource-Oriented Architecture (ROA) which has REST as its underpinning. Not only has that architecture emerged as a publicly vetted standard, it's also notable for its radical simplicity (introducing the unbelievably simple inventory of only four verbs!) Compared to the astronomically complex inventory of countless verbs that Service=Oriented Architecture (SOA) demands, ROA is proving to be much easier to program, especially when using Rails.]]></description></item><item><title>Ruby on Rails Won&apos;t Make It in 2007 and Forget About AJAX</title><guid isPermaLink="true">http://ruby.sys-con.com/read/315210.htm</guid><link>http://ruby.sys-con.com/read/315210.htm</link><pubDate>Thu, 08 Feb 2007 08:15:00 EST</pubDate><comments>http://ruby.sys-con.com/read/315210_f.htm</comments><description><![CDATA[Open sourcing Java won't matter - it's a non-event.
