ActiveRecord fails the DRY principle, especially if your database doesn't follow Rails naming conventions. As well, ActiveRecord associations and validations are redundant specifications of database constraints. Bryan wants to avoid (as much as possible) the situation where he's averse to making changes to his database schema, because of the resulting effort to change his app code.

http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-cb06206/index.html - Jun, 2006 - Crossing borders: Testing in integrated frameworks, Part 1 by Bruce Tate - [Clicks: 42]
The Java community has done a fantastic job of advancing automated unit testing. An increasing number of open source frameworks let you build automated test suites along with your projects. The Spring framework, JUnit, TestNG, and several other frameworks owe some or all of their inspiration to the idea of automated testing. Still, some non-Java languages and frameworks have more motivation to test, more suitable testing tools, and a more unified view of testing. By looking at how other frameworks test, you can improve the way you test in the Java language, or even use a more appropriate language to test your Java code. This article, the first of two on testing in Ruby on Rails, covers the Rails approach to unit testing.

This article is not intended to be a booster piece for Rails nor is it an expose. It’s simply an introduction to the technology. It contains both praise and criticism. At times the criticism might appear a bit heavy handed (especially to Rails enthusiasts), but don’t be fooled. Using any Web application framework is going to be tricky, whether it’s J2EE, ASP.NET, or PHP. In the long run, you can be a lot more productive with Rails than you can be with many other Web application development platforms, but it takes time to learn the ropes.

- More Rails Recipes: 72 New Ways to Build Stunning Rails Apps
by Mike Clark, Chad Fowler - [Clicks: 88]
From the author of the indispensable Rails Recipes, and with the help of a new master Rails chef in the kitchen, here are 72 new ways to kick your Ruby on Rails apps up a notch. More Rails Recipes is a collection of practical recipes for dressing up your web application with little fuss. You'll learn how the pros have solved the tough problems using the most cutting-edge Rails techniques so you can deliver your stunning web app quicker and easier. Developers by the thousands are coming to Rails-the benefits are clear, both to individuals and their organizations. But how can a developer be expected to write idiomatic, effective Rails code when the technology is so new? The answer is to work alongside masters, people who've been there from the start (and who have the scars to prove it). And, what better way to learn from their experience than to look at their code and read their explanations of why it's written that way? And even better imagine if that code can be lifted and placed right into your own application. This is better than just cut-and-paste: the recipe format means you'll understand the code, and be able to modify it to suit your needs. And the list of recipes is so broad that you're bound to find tips and techniques where you'll say "Oh! That's how they do that," or, "I didn't know you could do that in Rails." With More Rails Recipes, a following up to the popular original Rails Recipes, you can cook up a storm.
