RailsServices Gem Reaches 2.0.0
Since early-2014, I began to move away from the strict MVC approach with our Rails application. As I refactored some of our fatter models and not-so-skinny controllers, I wrote quite a few service classes. As a typical, developer, this was just too “hard” :). Naturally, I needed a generator to create these classes - and their attendant test scripts. So, I created my first gem, Rails Services.

Update to the Rails Services Gem
A couple of years back I released my first gem, Rails Services. It’s a very simple gem and project, adding two generators to your Rails application: rails_services:create
and rails_services:destroy
.
Integration Tests with Minitest
Over the course of 2014 I focused a great deal of my energy at work coming up with a decent test suite for our application. Our application was developed over the course of late 2012 and most of 2013 but, unfortunately, was done so with only about 5% test coverage.

With the pending shut-down of Posterous on April 30 and with work at my full-time gig reaching a feverish pitch, I am restarting my Blogger this coming month.
