Evan Weaver has a set of MySQL configuration files that are tuned for common Rails
situations at http://blog.evanweaver.com/articles/2007/04/30/top-secret-tuned-mysqlconfigurations-
for-rails. These are drop-in replacements for the standard my.cnf configuration
file, and they are much more current than the examples provided with
MySQL.

REST, Resources, and Web Services7
There are only two hard things in Computer Science:
cache invalidation and naming things.

The architectural principles of Representational State Transfer, or REST, have been
taking the Rails world by storm. The idea behind REST has been around since Roy
Fielding first described it in his 2000 doctoral dissertation. However, the ideas have only
started to gain traction among Rails developers since David Heinemeier Hansson??™s presentation
of those ideas in 2006 and the subsequent adoption of RESTful principles
in Rails 1.2. RESTful design is a new way of thinking about network architecture
based on an observation of how the Web works.

the World Wide Web) are best organized and structured.
