    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<h2>Analytics.js</h2>

<p>I don't know whether this library is very common, but it definitely shows a lot of promise:</p>

<p><a href="http://segmentio.github.com/analytics.js/">Segmentio's Analytics.js</a></p>

<p>It provides provider-agnostic hooks to route to analytics services. They also have a hosted version where the analytics services can be changed without touching the code. Looks really clean and neat.</p>

<h2>Nice video: to_proc</h2>

<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aISNtCAZlMg">This video by CooperPress</a> explains in a very clear fashion how to use the "to_proc" feature of Ruby (and understand some weird code you might come across). It is also well worth it to subscribe to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/CooperPress?feature=watch">their other videos</a>.</p>

<h2>Faster Rails partial rendering and caching</h2>

<p>I sure will try out <a href="http://ninjasandrobots.com/rails-faster-partial-rendering-and-caching/">this gem (multi_fetch_fragments)</a> to optimize Rails when I get to that point of my work...</p>

<h2>Indexes in Rails databases</h2>

<p><a href="http://tomafro.net/2009/08/using-indexes-in-rails-index-your-associations">Extremely good article by Tom Ward on using indexes in rails associations</a>. An excellent guide to determine what indexes your app should include (no more, no less).</p>
