I'll be doing metric_fu.

Nice subject, but this screencast is really to short !!!

Don't hesitate to give us more details on each of these tools.

Hi gUI. In defense of Ryan, if you want a more detailed screencast, pls feel free to start your own.

ryan's given us 166 great screencasts. if it weren't for these, my RoR understanding wouldn't be what it is.

it's good that they're short because it makes you explore the API more on your own time, not Ryan's time.

There is a neat fork done by a ThoughtBot guy at http://github.com/qrush/metric_fu/tree/master that gives the metric browsing site some nicer styles to match the Integrity CI server styles.

@gUI, I wish I could have had time to go into more detail but I had to do this episode at the last minute. My scheduled episode covered a new feature in 2.3.3 which I expected to be released by now, but it has been delayed.

@Erik, thanks for the link. I'll add it to the show notes.

When shall we expect to see some new mastering-rails-forms screencasts?

Thank you,
Jason

Every cast is really fantastic, thanks Ryan, i'm going to learn more about this. I don't knew nothing about Metric Fu. I like simple things.

Ryan, you made a comment in the podcast about not liking the look of the output from RCov. I agree, to the point that a month or so ago I created a fork that generates better-formatted output, sortable columns, and even lets you use your own external CSS style sheet.

More information is at http://www.idolhands.com/ruby-on-rails/making-rcov-pretty-with-custom-css/ and the project itself can be downloaded from http://github.com/Bantik/rcov

Just for the record, 'Saikuro' would be pronounce roughly like 'sigh-crow', which is a Japanese approximation to 'cyclo.'

@Jake -- Marty Andrews and I made a spike of crap4r at http://github.com/kevinrutherford/crap4r/tree. Nothing wonderful yet, mostly due to lack of time and the difficulty of digging information out of rcov.

Good..

Hey Ryan, I failed to install metric_fu ,since I am using windows system it is giving me problem for nmake (it is a shell command windows not able to recognize it), The same problem occurred to me when installing relevance-rcov for cucumber.
