Ruby Weekly

It's a lot more scattered than it used to be. Back in the day there were a lot of great bloggers like this, but now there's only a handful who regularly produce things. But amazing posts come out of all directions now. I keep track of lots of these as part of editing https://rubyweekly.com/ However, if you want specific names, look up Jason Swett, Aaron Patterson, Elieen Uchitelle, Peter Zhu, Andy Croll, Mike Perham..

http://javascriptweekly.com/ http://nodeweekly.com/ http://rubyweekly.com/ I like how they post the weekly newsletter on the website. I'm not subscribed, but I read it every week. It's a nice way to stay up to date of some technologies I use daily.

I've subscribed to some of the newsletters curated by Peter Cooper a few months ago. I find the articles to be much higher quality than the average blog post. http://rubyweekly.com/ http://javascriptweekly.com/ http://html5weekly.com/

I really like the Ruby Rogues Parley http://rubyrogues.com/parley/ and ruby weekly http://rubyweekly.com One is great just to get up to date and the other has really great discussions with all kind of people involved with Ruby in one or the other way.

If you'd like to see this sort of news in your inbox once a week, subscribe to http://rubyweekly.com/

Sloth Finder helps you encounter the most amazing weekly Ruby articles around your favorite Ruby and Rails topics for the past decade sourced from [Ruby Weekly](https://rubyweekly.com/). This tool was made because the creator, a Sloth in human form, was interested in all the greatest articles around his favorite weird Ruby niche, so he built a primitive search and looked for: ``` api, openapi, automation, rest, graphql, rpc, soap, webhook, scrap, event-driven, serializ ``` What followed was a wealth of articles full of knowledge, understanding of his niche, and potential for connecting to potential leads and partners. Instead of calling it a day, he decided to share the tool with us, the people (which basically means his 100 minute hack turned into a 20 hour project if you include all the side quests and write-ups related to it). https://slothfinder.apishop.io/ He has also open-sourced it on GitHub. Here are some reasons for you to look at the code: - You want to see how to deploy a Rails project on the cheapest [render.com](http://render.com) non-free plan running on SQLite (making it cheaper than usual). After I already embarked on render.com, I found that [someone else documented how they experimented with something similar and ran Python on SQLite on fly.io for basically free](https://github.com/irskep/cheapo_website), so this might be another solution if you are interested in hosting your hobby projects. - You want a simple Ruby scraper template to scrape simply…

Provide something useful, on a regular basis, then gradually try to sell something. It took me well over 2 years before I made money from it. It takes an extremely long time to build your subscriber base too. I am talking about month over month, you will be sending newsletter blasts to 5, 10, the 30 people, then one month 1000 people will sign up. Takes will power to push through. Just the name of the game. So, start early, and do not expect much. If you are looking for good examples, check out http://www.devopsweekly.com/ & http://rubyweekly.com/. Subscribe to them and check out the format. They are both free, and provide high quality curated content, but have "sponsored" (clearly marked) parts. This should give you some inspiration. There is pretty much zero barrier to entry. Register a domain, create a one-page static website on AWS S3/CF, which will host your signup form (and list archive for seo reasons), then use http://mailchimp.com/ to run the list. You could have it up and running in an afternoon. Finding high quality curated content is the hard part. I would suggest picking something you know tons about, or something fairly new. Take golang for example, there is tons of information churn, so you want someone in the know, to tell you about interesting things. This is the underlining principle for devopsweekly and rubyweekly. You do not even need to be an expect, just put in the time to track down interesting bits, over the last week. This can and should take many…

I would suggest Django over RoR; RoR contains more magic (but RoR seems to offer more convenience for someone experienced with RoR since it is based on convention vs configuration.) Also, I have heard that Rails changes very fastly sometimes, so you may have difficulty catching up if you are a student (but at the same time, it has a livelier community, so that might be a plus -- check out http://rubyweekly.com/ ). With Django, the core structure is simpler to understand, and you may continue working on your site after a few week's break easily. This is a little bit like the difference bt. Python and Ruby/Perl; I find Ruby/Perl more flexible (there is more than one way to do it), Python to be more strict (there is usually a single best way). To sum up, I don't think it would make a difference if you were a full time developer working on the project every day, but for a student, occasionally working on a project, Django would be easier to get accustomed to, after not working on the project for a given time. PS: I suggest you to take a look at Flask (Python) or Sinatra (Ruby) too; they might be easier to start with. Your experience with Flask would help with Django, too (or vice versa).

As featured in RubyWeekly https://rubyweekly.com/issues/687 dsu is a ruby gem that enables anyone practicing Agile methodology to record, keep track of and manage their daily standup (DSU) activities. Give it a download and a GitHub star. Lots of fun to use :) - dsu uses no network connections whatsoever. - dsu stores all of its data locally, in .json files. - dsu is a simple (but powerful) command-line tool for users who love to work within the terminal. - dsu versioning follows the semantic versioning standard (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH).

There's a long list on https://github.com/ekremkaraca/awesome-rails, the most "grown up" app might be https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq https://rubyweekly.com/ collects advanced articles, conference summaries, new tools. I prefer it over blogs or individual tutorials.

I would say you should use domain hack to make the whole name become more nature. You shouldn't have to worry too much about the name. Just pick something related to your field and add `weekly` into it. Example: https://rubyweekly.com https://cron.weekyly or my own: https://betterdev.link What I learn is that content is the most matter. Design wasn't too important in a news letter. Just keep them simple and clean, even a simple email links are all they need. As long as content is good. You should put more effort into curating content.

I like JavaScript Tips Daily newsletter (http://js2016.tips), Ruby Weekly (http://rubyweekly.com) and JavaScript Weekly (http://javascriptweekly.com)

Since Google Reader shut down, I've basically switched my behaviour to subscribing to sites via email and especially looking out for good curated weekly emails. Here are my favourites at the moment: iOS Dev Weekly : https://iosdevweekly.com/ Data Science Weekly : http://www.datascienceweekly.org/ Clojure Gazette : http://www.clojuregazette.com/ Ruby Weekly : http://rubyweekly.com/ Green Ruby : http://greenruby.org/ Founders Cabin : http://founderscabin.io/ SaaS Weekly : http://hiten.com/issues/ Also, shameless plug, I just started a weekly newsletter about Machine Learning, Data Science, Data Engineering: http://datacoder.aidanf.net/

My favorites: https://labnotes.org/ - fantastic, weekly summary on design, frontend, architecture, business, and some humor. http://rubyweekly.com/ - a roundup of announcements, new gems, talks and more http://www.evilmadscientist.com/tag/linkdump/ - monthly list of links related to science, hardware hacking, geekery http://randsinrepose.com/ - a few posts a month, great advice and thinking about tech and team management. http://consumeconsume.com/ - funny pictures of irony and shock, which always give me great material for tech presentations For RSS->email I use IFTTT

I suggest http://rubyweekly.com/ which has more content but Planet Ruby could be a nice complement.

What other development-related weekly newsletters can you recommend? Currently I'm subscribed to: Hacker NewLetter - http://www.hackernewsletter.com Status Code - http://statuscode.org/ Pycoders Weekly - http://pycoders.com/ Ruby Weekly - http://rubyweekly.com/ Python Weekly - http://www.pythonweekly.com/ JavaScript Weekly - http://javascriptweekly.com/ Coder Weekly - http://www.coderweekly.com/ HTML 5 Weekly - http://html5weekly.com/ JavaScript Weekly - http://javascriptweekly.com/ Are there other newsletters worth subscribing to?

Peter Cooper has three of them that are hard to beat: http://rubyweekly.com, http://javascriptweekly.com, and http://html5weekly.com. I'll plug mine as well: Hacker Newsletter - http://www.hackernewsletter.com, which is a product of what I said above. :)

my clickable site: http://nameego.com/ my hopeful screenshot target: http://rubyweekly.com/

Thanks for the advice. Good idea, the original aim was for a newsletter aimed at an existing community but from some mentions on Twitter it looks like other people are interested too. I can also claim very little credit for the design, that goes to peterc who writes Ruby Weekly. I spoke to him first about launching a devops variant and he very kindly said I could borrow his design from http://rubyweekly.com/.

found this post about the duberger scale model via a recent thoughtbot article on modeling[0]. [0]: https://thoughtbot.com/blog/models-that-match-reality , which i would qualify as being fairly basic and which in turn was found via https://rubyweekly.com/issues/574 .

https://goodbits.io/ basically a feed reader that allows you to setup basic html-email creation. - https://web-smith.ongoodbits.com/2017/07/19/no-230-the-top-25-dnvb-s-o… - http://rubyweekly.com/issues/358
