Folks! Great news! Just in time for the opening of RailsConf, the first release candidate of Rails 4.0 was managed to push out. Here are the nice guides to upgrade to Rails 4.0 http://rubysource.com/get-your-app-ready-for-rails-4/ This post is about the summary of the new features that Rails 4.0 offers, as well as the changes that may affect your current applications. Highlights in Rails 4.0: Ruby 2.0 preferred; 1.9.3+ required Strong Parameters Turbolinks Russian Doll Caching Ruby >=1.9.3 Rails 4 will only support Ruby 1.9.3+ and most compatible with Ruby 2.0. Get ready to upgrade if you have not done so to experience Rails 4. No more vendor/plugins The vendor/plugins directory has been removed in Rails 4. Instead, you should use Bundler with a path or Git dependencies. If you still have any code in vendor/plugins, you have 2 options: Move it to a gem. Most plugins should already have a gem version. If not, you can reference it from your Gemfile via the :git or :path options. Move it to lib/your_plugin and require it from an initializer on config/initializers. Threadsafe by default In new Rails applications, the threadsafe! option will be enabled by default in production mode. The way to turn it off will be by setting config.cache_classes andconfig.eager_load to false. This shouldn’t be much of a problem, unless the app (or one of its gems) is depending too much on thread safety. Strong parameters A lot of controversy was generated around the mass assignment protection. Since then, various different approaches were explored. Rails 3.2 uses attr_accessible and attr_protected on the models. Rails 4 takes a whole different point of view, making the controller responsible on what attributes are assigned to the model. An advantage of this approach...

The above title is also the topic of the speech by Stefan Nguyen, Vinova Lead Game Developer, in Casual Connect Asia 2013. As a part of Casual Connect Asia 2013, besides the Indie Showcase, representatives from hundreds of companies had come and delivered speeches which focused on different cutting edge topics in casual game space. To be honored, Stefan had a 20-minutes presentation to introduce and shares his experiences with Spine – an awesome 2D Games Animation tool which Vinova used during the development of Ultimate Arrow. Thanks to the presentation of Stefan, Vinova had a chance to invite the audiences to our booth in the Indie showcase for further discussion about Ultimate Arrow. As mentioned before in our previous post, at Casual Connect Asia 2013, we had won the “Best of Show” award with the game Ultimate Arrow. Ultimate Arrow is the 3rd 2D mobile game that Vinova developed. From Gasboy (our first 2D game) which only has 1 character with 1 animation in 15 frames and 90KB size on disk to our 2nd 2D game: God’s Rage which has 1 character with 17 animations in 402 frames and 1.3MB size on disk, our team could handle the character’s animation with frame-based animation using Anime Studio 9. However, after transition to Ultimate Arrow with multiple characters which are all detailed designed with much more complicated motions compared to the first 2 aforementioned games, we then encountered a serious problem. For example, the first boss’ design occupied nearly 50MB RAM and 20MB size on disk. This situation gave problem even to the high-end mobile devices. Fortunately, our team found Spine...
The Importance of Analyzing Order Fulfillment Challenges Any company with an ecommerce website knows that order fulfillment is a large issue. The biggest challenge for companies is trying to pinpoint specific reasons that customers are abandoning their online shopping chart systems. Some service providers have created software that targets each customer who has incomplete orders. The management software will most likely send an automated email that remarkets the product or makes a special pricing offer. Before employing one of these services it is advantageous to understand the process your customers go through when considering a purchase. It is also important to know why they choose not to fulfill their orders. The first step would be to understand the flow of Internet commerce. Many customers choose to shop online because they can pick they best-priced item after comparing costs on various sites. When going back and forth between sites, clients will also take into account the added cost to pack and ship the item. Others shop online because of a time consuming jobs or they like the convenience of not having to leave their house. There are two main solutions when trying to avoid web comparison-shopping. The first is to build brand loyalty; which of course is beneficial to any business. The other option is create a unique product that cannot be found on other sites, such as Amazon. The other reason orders are not fulfilled by customers may be the complexity of your processing page. Your checkout center form should be as simple as possible. The system should be written in the most direct and simple manner as possible....
