Worth every dollar

Hey Ryan,

I’ve been a fan of Railscasts for around a month now (I’ve watched all episodes 1-111 at the time of writing this). Its a great show and I when I saw these shows I had to get them.

And they were worth every dollar. I was able to implement 2 things into my rails application which made a dramatic improvement. In particular, the .average method. Coming from PHP and my usual embedded code, I spent a day getting a system of ratingval and numratings implemented into a controller, and updating them, doing manual average calculations, which resulted in about 1 extra query and 10 lines of code. That method cut it down to 1 query, 1 line :O

I know this type of thing has been available before, but prior to this episode, I didn’t know about it, so thank you.

I look forward to more episodes. I wish they’d come out as regularly as Railscasts, but with the bigger time coverage (30 mins), will this affect how many you can make?

I’m glad you’ve found the episodes helpful!

I will produce them on a regular basis. I’m not sure what the schedule will be once I get into the rhythm, but it may be as fast as once every other week. We’ll see. :)

A new episode can’t come soon enough! This new series is fantastic.
