"Documations that cover..." and crash. Something with video. Crashes in that place.
[qtrle @ 0x8939638]Problem: stream_ptr out of bounds (92128 >= 92038)
Actually never mind. Somewhy it downloaded only 11MB :P. Doing redownload :)
but 'mplayerc.exe' work fine with 049_reading_the_api.m4v
Something is fishy with this 049_reading_the_api.mov file. -it stops playing after 1 min 44secs.
Too bad , i like this podcast alot.
You forgot http://www.railsdocumentation.org, where you can get our patched version of the API (which documents many of the methods in much greater detail!).
It crashes for me too after about 2 minutes. I am running linux.
Another me to, stops just a minute or so into the video.Download size is 12M
Sorry about that guys, seems the file didn't upload properly. I'm re-uploading it and hopefully it will work.
Okay, it should be working now. Dreamhost FTP was giving me fits.
@Jeremy & Tristan, thanks, I added it to the show notes.
By far, my most favorite API site is Ruby Search: http://labs.parkerfox.co.uk/ruby.search/
It hits the Rails API and the Ruby API at the same time.
What happens when cliquing on the previous comment poster's name ?
So, i've created a [link=http://www.rollyo.com/ream88/ruby_on_rails_api]Rollyo[/link], using the sites mentioned in this GREAT railcast.
@Mahmoud, the author just forgot to prefix their site with "http://". I fixed it so it works now.
@ream88, sorry about no markup. On my long list of stuff to do...
I've found http://www.rorapi.com/ by far the cleanest Rails search engine. It uses Google Co-op and indexes the Core Ruby, RoR, Prototype, and Scriptaculous APIs.
To sweeten the deal there is a Firefox search plug-in!
please teach also how to look the methods that belong to a class.
for example how to know that ActiveRecord::Base has methods named belongs_to, has_many, etc ... (since the API was on it child, but it doesnt mentioned very clear in ActiveRecord::Base).
For me Javadoc is the best API Doc because it list the parents method as well ... well. the RAILS / Ruby API doesnt list it all ..
APIdock is starting to look very interesting:

Users can also add notes. If they are able to keep it free from spam, it will be very useful, I think.
The link to http://railsmanual.org/ no longer takes you to the an API. It redirects to a site that may not be safe for work.
I completely agree with you, reading some of the docs can be a pain in the butt. The links you posted have been very useful for me and I will use them in the future. Thanks a lot for posting and I hope you keep up the good work for this site and we can see more of you. Alternative sites to process API are not an easy thing to find :)

This was a really useful episode, ROR really is awesome in that it lets you write code like that! Thanks for very good information. Excellent article that will provide the incentive and basis for my works.I wonder if I can mention the article as a bibliographic reference in my work. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing your article. I really enjoyed it. I put a link to my site to here so other people can read it. My readers have about the same interets
