reevoolabs : open source technology

Welcome to the re-launch of labs.reevoo.com, a place where we (the team at Reevoo) try our best to contribute a little something back to the community.

To kick things off, we’ve brought across some of our existing projects from the previous labs site, but also added a few new things that we felt were ready for prime-time:

1. Mocha – the Ruby mocking/stubbing library based on JMock syntax, used by Rails core
2. NEW! – Beanstalk Messaging plugin – a Rails plugin for managing, polling and communicating with the excellent Beanstalkd messaging queue
3. NEW! – Simple Config – a Rails plugin that makes it easy to set up application-wide configuration/settings for each of your development environments, separate to Rails’ own environment files, and provides an object-oriented way of accessing those settings throughout your application.
4. NEW! – Exception Messaging plugin – This plugin builds upon the Beanstalk Messaging plugin and allows you to forward your application exceptions to a beanstalkd queue for offline processing.

Please watch this space as we have a few more things on their way “very soon”^TM that were nearly ready for labs. A couple of them are a bit more Rails-infrastructure related than the current set of projects we’ve pushed live today.
