SmartForm creates nicely laid out form fields for an ActiveRecord object, including it’s content columns and association reflections. The form fields are encapsulated in an HTML definition list.

So after a year of working with a lot of proprietary technologies and using Perforce as my primary SCM, I have decided it is time to join the sensation and begin using Git. So far I have been very pleased with Git’s features as well as its ease of use. For someone who has mostly used SubVersion and Perforce, Git is extremely simple to learn. I was up and running with Git in just a few minutes.

There is a fantastic website for Git users called GitHub. It is essentially a SourceForge dedicated to Git users. Unlike SourceForge, GitHub offers an intuitive and simple interface. Sorry, SourceForge… but you mandate way too many clicks to download software! Github is where it’s at!
