Railscasts - This can’t be good for Peepcodes sign ups?  Competition is all good though – especially when we start getting something for nothing.   mmmmmm knowledge!

[UPDATE: As you’ll see form the comments it looks like RailsCast is sponsored by PeepCode so maybe its not a killer but a parent? Surrogate mother? Either way - knowledge and more of it is all good as far as I’m concerned.]

Well its been an exciting few weeks of security issues both in the Rails world and the real world. With the severity of the issues it was deemed necessary to keep a lid on the vulnerabilities until people had a chance to upgrade.

The issue is in fact of such a criticality that we’re not going to dig into the specifics. No need to arm would-be assalients.

Although that’s now been remedied with the release of all the path and vulnerability information for all the upgrades from the Ruby On Rails blog.

A blogging and discussion corner has been set up for Ruby fanatics everywhere. You can register to begin adding your favourite Ruby blog or regularly updated Ruby content straight-away. Think Digg for Ruby.
Current examples include:

• A Ruby & Rails blog set up by two .Net guys – be interesting to see their perspective.
• Blogfish has quite a diverse selection aswell as Ruby & Rails he chats about BSD, security and agile development in general.
• Rubuntu – I wouldn’t have found this little gem if it wasn’t for RubyCorner. Looks like this blogger is in the process of developing a Ubuntu LiveCD with full Ruby and Rails support!!

I’d add my site but unfortnately I don’t think I’m updating often enough at the moment and certainly not regular enough of Rails.
