		<description><![CDATA[Recently at work, we were having some problems with our application. Most of the problems stemmed from the complicated nature of the application and some poor design that we had been trying to patch up for months. Finally, in November, we got clearance from my boss to rebuild the application as a series of mini-applications [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A lot of new Ruby developers I&#8217;ve worked with have seen the symbol notation&#8212;starting with a :&#8212; and have been confused by what a symbol actually is. There is a lot of information out there that is confusing as well. Here&#8217;s a brief rundown of what symbols are and how they are used. What a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been working on NORM and after a few proof of concept things, I wrote a test to test the create method for the base class. Here&#8217;s the create method: 1 2 3 4 5 6 def create&#40;attributes&#41; columns = attributes.keys.join&#40;&#34;, &#34;&#41; values = attributes.collect &#123;&#124;k, v&#124; &#34;'#{v}'&#34;&#125;.join&#40;&#34;, &#34;&#41; @@connection.execute&#40;&#34;INSERT INTO base (#{columns}) VALUES (#{values});&#34;&#41; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m pretty sure that the Ruby DBI gem is deprecated, however, I&#8217;m writing NORM so that I can experience the pain of refactoring as well as proving out that Test Driven Design has a place in modern development.

		<description><![CDATA[While working on NORM, I found a nice trick where you can enclose your class variables and methods inside a class &#60;&#60; self &#8230; end block.
