Ruby on Rails has a scriptaculous framework integration out of the box. The Rails helper functions are very powerful, but every time i need a visual_effect i have to search in API docs to get all Rails supported scriptaculous effects.

To shorten the search i’m going to list all 17 supported effects.

In my last tutorial i have explained how to import GPX files from Nokia Sportstracker Software. We have created a small Ruby on Rails application - navtracker - which we will use again. We will display the imported data on Google Maps with Ruby on Rails.

In this tutorial i will explain how to import GPS data from Nokia mobile phones with Ruby on Rails and displaying them as route on a google map.

The first part will solve the data import of GPX formated data files. The second part will show you how to display the routes on google map.

Geocoding with Ruby on Rails isn’t a big deal. But sometimes you have do more than simple geocoding. For real estate webpages you need information about state, county or suburb for a given address.

This tutorial will show you how to build your own geodatabase without overusing google maps requests(limited on 15000 Requests per Ip/month).

Some friends of mine found my first tutorial difficult to understand. So i’m going to start with smaller pieces of code and start with basic unzip functions in Ruby on Rails.

Sometimes you have to integrate exported data from third party desktop software. One way to do is to pack all data into a zipped file and push it via FTP onto your server. This tutorial will explain how to process zip-files with your Ruby on Rails™ application.

I will take an example from a real estate managing software. It’s a common way for this kind of software to pack and push their data to online real estate listing services.
