New ArtQ Gem - Query Blockchain Contracts / Services for Art Collection (Meta) Data

Hello, building on the new ethlite gem that lets you call (read-only) blockchain contract services I put together ArtQ - a new command-line tool (and gem) that lets you query (pixel) art collections “off-blockchain” such as Moonbirds or “on-blockchain” such as The Saudis via JSON-RPC (in your termial / shell). See the artq gem page for more. It’s the early days ;-) - download for artwork layers upcoming. SOON!

sportdb gem - New Datasets for the World Cup 2022 in Qatar in Football.TXT

Hello, the World Cup 2022 kicks off today (in Qatar). Any open data or web service json api out there for the football match schedule? To get you started w/ ruby and the sportdb gem(s) I started adding new datasets for the World Cup 2022 in the (structured) Football.TXT format (e.g. /2022–qatar/cup.txt, etc.) that you can read into any SQL database (and than export to JSON, for example). Anyways, it’s the early days. If you know any ruby scripts or open data or json apis for the world cup, please tell / share.

How to create a gem in Ruby on Rails?

Developers can create some incredible applications using Ruby on Rails best gems. Using Ruby gems is a standard practice in developing web applications in Ruby on Rails. Using the gems listed here, along with other Ruby gems, it is possible to create a customized Rails app that fits the needs of any company, and allows for fast software development, to get fast time-to-market, and stay competitive. A Gem in the Ruby programming language is a software package where Ruby applications or libraries can be deployed in a uniform format. For Ruby on Rails gems, an interface is a command-line tool called a gem that can install and manage a library. A gem embeds the Ruby programming languages runtime loader, which helps to find and load installed gems from unified libraries folders. RubyGems is a package manager for Rails which includes a standard format for distributing Ruby programs and libraries (in the form of a self-contained framework known as gem), a tool to manage the installation of the gems, and a server for shipping them.

Ruby on Rails vs Django - The Back-end battle!

When it comes to developing Web applications, there are literally dozens of frameworks available for almost any programming language, but two of the best known and trusted are Django in Python and Rails in Ruby. Ruby on Rails has the best examples for building web applications, showing its dominance over a vibrant web community, while the Ruby programming language is similar to a complete solution, where applications are found across the backend, the M.L., and the web. Python-based is ranked among the best programming languages, and is known to emphasise the clarity and readability of code, while Ruby on Rails is known for attributes like flexibility and freedom, as well as for its easy-to-understand syntax. Django is among the most popular Python-based frameworks among experts in the language. Read More on RoR vs Django

rlp (Recursive Length Prefix) gem for data encoding reborn as rlp-lite (redux)

Hello, if anyone tries to request data from the ethereum (open) blockchain (service / database) with ruby sooner or later you might want to understand the magic and put together a to-the-metal “raw” json-rpc request with a recursive length prefix (RLP) encoded-data package. Good news - there’s a rlp gem with 1+ millions downloads; bad news - last update in 2016 and the (ruby) source code is officially archived / read-only). Anyways, using the “best of the both worlds”, that is, the “inline” rlp encoder/decoder from the eth gem and the rlp gem itself I put together a new rlp-lite gem. It’s the early days ;-). You are welcome to join in and try the new kid on the block. What are your (eth) options (in ruby) that you use? Please tell / share / discuss.

Yes, You Can - Write Your Own Crypto Hash Functions / Digests In Ruby - SHA3, Keccak

Hello, if anyone is crypto (blockchain) programming in ruby - sooner or later you will need a Keccak and/or SHA3 (crypto) hash function / digest class - some popular options are gems with c-extensions - so with great surprise I found this week “less popular” hidden (crypto) gems in “plain-old” ruby and zero-dependencies on c-extensions. The two options are Keccak256 by Evan Taylor and SHA3 (“Pure Ruby”) originally by Christian Neukirchen et al and “gemified” by Shannon Skipper. Thanks! Anyways, I have started to use the “hidden (crypto) gems” in the ethlite gem that lets you call (blockchain) contract (services) via JSON-RPC and all works out great so far. What are your (crypto hash or eth) options (in ruby)? Please tell / share / discuss.
