In this post I'll discuss some details about Rails API that I ran into while working with them recently.
### What's different?
A Rails API project doesn't include views or assets by default.
shell
rails new my_api --api
### Routes
Routes are defined slightly differently than in non-API projects:
ruby
# config/routes.rb
namespace :api do
namespace :v1 do
resources :users do
resources :orders
end
resources :products
end
end
The routes will look like this:
GET /api/v1/products/:id(.:format) api/v1/products#show {:format=>/json/}
GET /api/v1/products(.:format) api/v1/products#index {:format=>/json/}
POST /api/v1/products(.:format) api/v1/products#create {:format=>/json/}
PUT /api/v1/products/:id(.:format) api/v1/products#update {:format=>/json/}
PATCH /api/v1/products/:id(.:format) api/v1/products#update {:format=>/json/}
DELETE /api/v1/products/:id(.:format) api/v1/products#destroy {:format=>/json/}
GET /api/v1/users/:user_id/orders/:id(.:format) api/v1/orders#show {:format=>/json/, :user_id=>/d+/}
GET /api/v1/users/:user_id/orders(.:format) api/v1/orders#index {:format=>/json/, :user_id=>/d+/}
POST /api/v1/users/:user_id/orders(.:format) api/v1/orders#create {:format=>/json/, :user_id=>/d+/}
PUT /api/v1/users/:user_id/orders/:id(.:format) api/v1/orders#update {:format=>/json/, :user_id=>/d+/}
PATCH /api/v1/users/:user_id/orders/:id(.:format) api/v1/orders#update {:format=>/json/, :user_id=>/d+/}
DELETE /api/v1/users/:user_id/orders/:id(.:format) api/v1/orders#destroy {:format=>/json/, :user_id=>/d+/}
GET /api/v1/users/:id(.:format) api/v1/users#show {:format=>/json/, :id=>/d+/}
GET /api/v1/users(.:format) api/v1/users#index {:format=>/json/}
POST /api/v1/users(.:format) api/v1/users#create {:format=>/json/}
PUT /api/v1/users/:id(.:format) api/v1/users#update {:format=>/json/, :id=>/d+/}
PATCH /api/v1/users/:id(.:format) api/v1/users#update {:format=>/json/, :id=>/d+/}
DELETE /api/v1/users/:id(.:format) api/v1/users#destroy {:format=>/json/, :id=>/d+/}
### Controllers
API controllers inherit from `ActionController::API` instead of `ActionController::Base` (unless you override it).
ruby

{% include post.html title="Sinatra Project" date="2015-09-12" %}
## Goals
I decided I wanted my Sinatra project to be more than just another todo list application so I came up with these goals:
* Create something that would be useful or interesting for me personally.
* Make it as simple as possible while still meeting my needs.
* Use Sinatra because I want practice with it.
## Outcome
I created [Taskmaster](https://github.com/JeffreyFritz/taskmaster), an application that helps you manage tasks that are assigned by other people.
It meets all my goals:
* I often get tasks assigned by others (mostly work tasks), so it helps me manage those.
* It only does what I need it to do (no extra features).
* It uses Sinatra.
## Features
Taskmaster lets you manage tasks assigned by others.
When you receive a task (or when you assign one yourself), you create an assignment record that includes:
* The name of the task (e.g., "Write post").
* The person who assigned it (e.g., "Jeffrey").
* When it was assigned.
* When it's due.
* Any comments associated with it.
* Whether or not you've completed it.
You can edit any of these attributes after creating an assignment except when it was assigned.
You can also add notes to assignments after they're created.
## Development Process
My development process was roughly:
### Plan Features
I started by writing down all the features I wanted Taskmaster to have.
After writing them down I realized I had way too many features planned so I reduced them until I only had features that were necessary.
I also added some additional features that weren't originally planned but seemed necessary after reviewing my initial list.
### Write Specs
Next I wrote specs for each feature using RSpec.
Since I was using TDD throughout development (except when I got stuck), writing specs helped me think through how each feature should work before writing code.
### Write Code
After writing specs for all features (except those that required authentication), I wrote code to implement each feature one at a time following TDD methodology:
First write code that makes failing tests pass then refactor until tests pass again (and add more tests if necessary).
### Add Authentication Support & Refactor Code
Once all features were implemented without authentication support I added authentication using BCrypt gem then refactored code so users could only access their own data.
## Technologies Used
Taskmaster uses Ruby as its programming language along with several gems including:
* Sinatra - web framework used for building application logic.
* ActiveRecord - ORM used for interacting with database tables through objects instead of raw SQL queries.
* SQLite3 - database engine used by ActiveRecord under-the-hood when running locally but switched out automatically based on environment variable set during deployment process (Heroku).
## Deployment Process
To deploy Taskmaster onto Heroku servers first clone repository containing source code locally then run command `heroku create` followed by command `git push heroku master`.
This creates new app instance running Taskmaster code hosted at URL generated during creation process above then pushes local changes up onto remote repository hosted at Heroku servers which automatically deploys updated version upon completion!
## Conclusion
Taskmaster is now deployed live at [https://taskmaster.herokuapp.com](https://taskmaster.herokuapp.com).
It meets all my goals outlined above plus provides useful functionality beyond simple todo list application while still being easy enough use without requiring much effort from user end!

{% include post.html title="Concurrency in Rails" date="2015-09-14" %}
Concurrency in Rails can be achieved using multiple threads or processes depending on your needs.
There are several ways to achieve concurrency in Rails:
## Using Multiple Threads within Single Process ##
One way is by using multiple threads within single process which allows multiple requests served simultaneously while sharing same memory space allowing faster communication between threads than if they were running separately outside main process memory space however this approach comes at cost increased complexity since now need ensure proper synchronization between threads otherwise race conditions may occur causing unexpected behavior or even data corruption!
To implement multithreading within single process first need add gem 'thread_safe' which provides thread-safe data structures such as Array class which allows safe concurrent access from multiple threads without requiring locks!
Then modify ApplicationController class so that before_action callback method runs inside separate thread instead default behavior running inside main thread:
ruby
class ApplicationController< ActionController::Base def before_action(&block); Thread.new { block.call }; end end
This ensures that every request handled by application runs inside separate thread allowing multiple requests served simultaneously without blocking each other!
## Using Multiple Processes ##
Another way achieve concurrency Rails applications use multiple processes instead threads which provides better isolation between requests since each request handled completely separate process having its own memory space thus preventing race conditions caused shared memory space however this approach comes cost increased resource usage since now need spawn new process every request handled!
To implement multiprocess concurrency first need add gem 'unicorn' which provides HTTP server capable handling multiple requests simultaneously via forked worker processes!
Then modify config/puma.rb file so that worker_processes option set number desired worker processes (usually equal number CPU cores available machine):
ruby
workers Integer(ENV['WEB_CONCURRENCY'] || 2)
This tells Unicorn server spawn specified number worker processes when started allowing each request handled completely separate process thus achieving multiprocess concurrency!
## Conclusion ##
In conclusion there two main approaches achieve concurrency Rails applications multithreading within single process or multiprocess concurrency using separate processes one another depending needs application specific requirements! By understanding these techniques developers can build efficient scalable applications capable handling large number simultaneous requests efficiently without sacrificing performance!

Ruby gems are libraries written in Ruby language that provide reusable code modules which can be easily integrated into other Ruby applications.
## How To Install Ruby Gems ##
To install ruby gems first need install Ruby programming language itself which comes pre-installed on most Linux distributions however if not already installed follow instructions provided official website [https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/]()!
Once Ruby installed simply run command below from terminal prompt:
shell
gem install GEM_NAME
where GEM_NAME should replaced actual name gem desired install!
For example if want install popular web framework called Sinatra simply run command below:
shell
gem install sinatra
This will download latest version Sinatra gem then install dependencies required run successfully!
## How To Use Ruby Gems ##
Once installed ruby gems can used simply require module containing desired functionality within Ruby script file using require statement:
ruby
require 'sinatra'
This statement tells Ruby interpreter load entire Sinatra library into memory allowing access all classes methods defined therein!
Now let's say want create simple web application using Sinatra framework first create new file called app.rb containing following
