How to Contact Me I can be reached via e-mail at [email protected]. Please contact me if you have any questions, comments, kudos or criticism on the book. Constructive criticism is definitely appreciated; I want this book to get better through your feedback. Why Ruby You might be asking yourself why I wrote the examples in this book in Ruby. Here’s a quick set of reasons: It’s concise The last thing you want if you’re reading (or writing!) a book with lots of code in it is lots of repetitive, boilerplate code. Ruby keeps this to a minimum. irb irb is an interactive Ruby shell which you can use to play around with Ruby. In this book, two other programs (s3sh and s3lib) extend irb to allow you to play around with S3 on the command prompt. It’s available Ruby comes pre-installed on most Unixes, including OS X. If you are on Windows, the Ruby One Click Installer will get you up and running quickly. See “Installing Ruby and the AWS/S3 Gem” for instructions on installing Ruby AWS/S3 Marcel Molina’s AWS/S3 library is an elegant interface to Amazon S3. It’s used in most of the examples in the book. RubyGems The RubyGems package library allows you to easily install the additional libraries needed to communicate with S3. Ruby makes me happy Yukihiro Matsumoto, the creator of Ruby, often says that “… Ruby is designed to make programmers happy.” He also says “…I designed Ruby to minimize my surprise.” This works for the me: Ruby is a pleasure to program in and (once you get used to it) easy to read. ³http://github.com/spatten/thes3cookbook Preface 3 This is not to say that Ruby is the best and only language out there. It just happens to be one that is well suited to this book, so I went with it. I’ve written a quick intro to Ruby in Appendix A, A Short Introduction to Ruby. Chapter 1. What is S3, and what can I use it for? The purpose of this section of the book is to show you what S3 can be used for. To that end, I’ve talked to a couple of companies who are doing interesting things with S3. I’ll also talk about some of the more common use cases. Backups The first thing you think of when you hear about S3 is backups. It’s quite a nice solution for this: you can easily backup any type of file and the storage is pretty cheap. Personally, I use it to back up all of my pictures. I used to back them up onto a rewriteable CD, but that was flaky and time consuming. Then I used various solutions such as synchronizing multiple computers on my home network. This is fine for most uses, but pictures of my kids are irreplaceable, so I prefer an online backup. That way, even if my house burns down, the big quake hits Vancouver or all of my computers are stolen, I know that my pictures are safe. Yes, it’s a little paranoid, but that’s what backups are all about! The big win for S3, however, is how easy it is to back up just about anything. There’s no GUI or Web interface to work around - it’s designed for people like you and me: people who can code. You can use it to back up your SVN repositories, your databases or user generated content on your website. Not only that, you can also share your backed up files with others in creative ways. Serving Data The second thing you might want to do with S3 is serve data to your users. This data might be static data for your site (“Using S3 as an asset host”), user generated data (“Serving user generated data from s3”), a Bit Torrent for a large media file (“Seeding a bit torrent”) or a file that only authenticated people can access (“Giving access to a bucket or object with a special URL” and “Giving another user access to an object or bucket using S3SH”). When you are serving data, you will probably want to keep track of what is being viewed and by who. This is discussed in “Determining logging status for a bucket” to “Accessing your logs using S3stat”. Use Cases There are a whole bunch of people out there using S3 in lots of different ways. I wanted to get in touch with some of them to find out how they were using S3 and why they decided to use Chapter 1. What is S3, and what can I use it for? 5 S3. So, I semi-randomly sent out two e-mails to some people whose work I had found interesting. Amazingly enough, both were kind enough to take the time to talk to me.

  • Rubabel: Wrapping Open Babel with Ruby Rob Smith1*, Ryan Williamson1, Dan Ventura1 and John T Prince2*
    Smith et al. Journal of Cheminformatics 2013, 5:35 http://www.jcheminf.com/content/5/1/35 SOFTWARE Open Access Rubabel: wrapping open Babel with Ruby Rob Smith1*, Ryan Williamson1, Dan Ventura1 and John T Prince2* Abstract Background: The number and diversity of wrappers for chemoinformatic toolkits suggests the diverse needs of the chemoinformatic community. While existing chemoinformatics libraries provide a broad range of utilities, many chemoinformaticians find compiled language libraries intimidating, time-consuming, arcane, and verbose. Although high-level language wrappers have been implemented, more can be done to leverage the intuitiveness of object-orientation, the paradigms of high-level languages, and the extensibility of languages such as Ruby. We introduce Rubabel, an intuitive, object-oriented suite of functionality that substantially increases the accessibily of the tools in the Open Babel chemoinformatics library. Results: Rubabel requires fewer lines of code than any other actively developed wrapper, providing better object organization and navigation, and more intuitive object behavior than extant solutions. Moreover, Rubabel provides a convenient interface to the many extensions currently available in Ruby, greatly streamlining otherwise onerous tasks such as creating web applications that serve up Rubabel functionality. Conclusions: Rubabel is powerful, intuitive, concise, freely available, cross-platform, and easy to install. We expect it to be a platform of choice for new users, Ruby users, and some users of current solutions. Keywords: Chemoinformatics, Open Babel, Ruby Background tasks. Though it allows the user to access the functionality Despite the fact that chemoinformatics tools have been of the component libraries from one Python script, Cin- developed since the late 1990s [1], the field has yet to fony does not automatically manage underlying data types rally in support of a single library.

This book by Michael Hartl came so highly recommended that I had to try it, and the Ruby on RailsTM Tutorial is what I used to switch back to Rails again.’’ —From the Foreword by Derek Sivers (sivers.org) Formerly: Founder, CD Baby Currently: Founder, Thoughts Ltd. ‘‘Michael Hartl’s Rails Tutorial book is the #1 (and only, in my opinion) place to start when it comes to books about learning Rails. It’s an amazing piece of work and, unusually, walks you through building a Rails app from start to finish with testing. If you want to read just one book and feel like a Rails master by the end of it, pick the Ruby on RailsTM Tutorial.’’ —Peter Cooper Editor, Ruby Inside www.it-ebooks.info ‘‘Grounded in the real world.’’ —I Programmer (www.i-programmer.info), by Ian Elliot ‘‘The book gives you the theory and practice, while the videos focus on showing you in person how its done. Highly recommended combo.’’ —Antonio Cangiano, Software Engineer, IBM ‘‘The author is clearly an expert at the Ruby language and the Rails framework, but more than that, he is a working software engineer who introduces best practices throughout the text.’’ —Greg Charles, Senior Software Developer, Fairway Technologies ‘‘Overall, these video tutorials should be a great resource for anyone new to Rails.’’ —Michael Morin, ruby.about.com ‘‘Hands-down, I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to get into Ruby on Rails development.’’ —Michael Crump, Microsoft MVP ptg8286261 www.it-ebooks.info RUBY ON RAILSTM TUTORIAL Second Edition ptg8286261 www.it-ebooks.info Visit informit.com/ruby for a complete list of available products.
