You don’t need to install the git package, which is the package for the GNU Interactive Tools. You should only install the git-core package.

That would be true if you were given plane tickets with departure dates – in this case, only arrival and departure cities were on the tickets.

(Obviously I wasn’t clear enough in the question).

The third question..
Given a plane ticket has start and end time, just short by the start time and you’ll get a sorted list. This represent the order that you should use

Comment on The API is the Application by Ash Christopher

Ash Christopher — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 05:39:51 +0000

REST implies stateless data, so it wouldn’t really be useful for applications such as wizards. It could be used to populate data when interacting with a wizard.

Data that was entered on a previous screen would be presumably stored in the session somewhere, and that data may be passed to a REST resource which would return data to populate the page.

Hmmm… sounds like a reasonable way to do something simple, but how do you handle stateful applications. i.e. What happens now is different from what happened earlier based on a change that was made. A simple Request (What is the weather like in Waterloo, ON) and allowes for a simple response. If you need to process a stream of interactions (i.e. a Wizard) it sounds like you’d have to do something else other than REST to make that happen.

Hung,

It was a typo. ’svnserv’ is the service, not ’subserv’.

Comment on What Is This Rails Thing? by Adam

Adam — Fri, 05 Oct 2007 16:59:03 +0000

I’ve found too many limitations with Rails. As Ash has said; it’s great for quick prototyping.. but then again so is Visio if you’re just going for a visual prototype.

I’m leaning towards Flex right now as the next thing to use and have some fun with. PHP is great; Silverlight is a POS; and the Google Web Toolkit just scares me due to the upgrades constantly required and the browser dependency.

It seems really neat, and I can really see it helping get something prototyped quickly. My biggest problem now is getting familiar with the framework. When I developed in PHP I had direct control over everything, but it was also a crap-load more work to get something working.

My latest issue which I have moved to the backburner in light of other things on this project deals with uploading files. I have looked at this tutorial (http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowtoUploadFiles) , but I can’t seem to get it to go. It is a simple thing I am trying to do, and in PHP, it would have taken maybe 10 minutes to get it all working. It has taken considerably longer with Rails, but alas I am trying to learn as I go. I guess I shouldnt be too disappointed.

Also, crap, maybe I should have held out for the third edition of this book. Oh well.
