5 Ruby-related blogs for July

By Ric Roberts on 01 Jul 2009 | Comments

Last month, I posted my first set of five ruby-related blogs for your delectation. Here’s five more for your RSS reader:

  • Ruby Inside: A Ruby news, links, code and tips blog, to which I’ve recently started contributing.
  • Robby On Rails: A blog by Robby Russell from Planet Argon. Full of useful rails tidbits.
  • A Fresh Cup: Mike Gunderloy’s mostly link-based blog focusing on Ruby On Rails. I always find something interesting here.
  • Alex Young: Blog from a London-based web developer, who runs Helicoid and QuiteUseful.
  • Igvita: Ilya Grigorik’s blog, often featuring Ruby-related articles.
