Seattle.rb - parse_tree and ruby

RDoc	Name	Description
Tier 1
	gem install hoe	Hoe is a rake/rubygems helper for project Rakefiles. It helps you manage and maintain, and release your project and includes a dynamic plug-in system allowing for easy extensibility. Hoe ships with plug-ins for all your usual project tasks including rdoc generation, testing, packaging, and deployment.
	gem install hoe-seattlerb	Hoe plugins providing tasks used by seattle.rb including minitest, perforce, and email providing full front-to-back release/annouce automation.
Tier 2
	gem install autotest-rails	This is an autotest plugin to provide rails support. It provides basic rails support and extra plugins for migrations and fixtures.
	gem install minitest	minitest provides a complete suite of testing facilities supporting TDD, BDD, mocking, and benchmarking.
	gem install minitest_tu_shim	minitest_tu_shim bridges the gap between the small and fast minitest and ruby's huge and slow test/unit.
	gem install ZenTest	ZenTest provides 4 different tools: zentest, unit_diff, autotest, and multiruby.
Tier 3
	gem install RubyInline	Inline allows you to write foreign code within your ruby code. It automatically determines if the code in question has changed and builds it only when necessary. The extensions are then automatically loaded into the class/module that defines it.
	gem install sexp_processor	sexp_processor branches from ParseTree bringing all the generic sexp processing tools with it. Sexp, SexpProcessor, Environment, etc... all for your language processing pleasure.
Tier 4
	gem install event_hook	Wraps rb_add_event_hook so you can write fast ruby event hook processors w/o the speed penalty that comes with set_trace_func (sooo sloooow!). Calls back into ruby so you don't have to write C.
	gem install ParseTree	ParseTree is a C extension (using RubyInline) that extracts the parse tree for an entire class or a specific method and returns it as a s-expression (aka sexp) using ruby's arrays, strings, symbols, and integers.
	gem install rake-remote_task	Vlad the Deployer's sexy brainchild is rake-remote_task, extending Rake with remote task goodness.
	gem install ruby2ruby	ruby2ruby provides a means of generating pure ruby code easily from RubyParser compatible Sexps. This makes making dynamic language processors in ruby easier than ever!
	gem install ruby_parser	ruby_parser (RP) is a ruby parser written in pure ruby (utilizing racc--which does by default use a C extension). RP's output is the same as ParseTree's output: s-expressions using ruby's arrays and base types.
Tier 5
	gem install flay	Flay analyzes code for structural similarities. Differences in literal values, variable, class, method names, whitespace, programming style, braces vs do/end, etc are all ignored. Making this totally rad.
	gem install flog	Flog reports the most tortured code in an easy to read pain report. The higher the score, the more pain the code is in.
	gem install gauntlet	Gauntlet is a pluggable means of running code against all the latest gems and storing off the data.
	gem install heckle	Heckle is unit test sadism(tm) at it's core. Heckle is a mutation tester. It modifies your code and runs your tests to make sure they fail. The idea is that if code can be changed and your tests don't notice, either that code isn't being covered or it doesn't do anything.
	gem install vlad	Vlad the Deployer is pragmatic application deployment automation, without mercy. Much like Capistrano, but with 1/10th the complexity. Vlad integrates seamlessly with Rake, and uses familiar and standard tools like ssh and rsync.
Tier 6
	gem install ruby_to_c	ruby_to_c translates a static ruby subset to C. Hopefully it works.
	gem install wilson	Wilson is a pure ruby x86 assembler. No, really. Worst Idea Evar.
	gem install zenprofile	zenprofiler helps answer WHAT is being called the most. spy_on helps answer WHERE those calls are being made. ZenProfiler provides a faster version of the standard library ruby profiler. It is otherwise pretty much the same as before. spy_on provides a clean way to redefine a bottleneck method so you can account for and aggregate all the calls to it.
Tier 7
	gem install image_science	ImageScience is a clean and happy Ruby library that generates thumbnails -- and kicks the living crap out of RMagick. Oh, and it doesn't leak memory like a sieve. :)
	gem install png	PNG is an almost-pure-ruby PNG library. It lets you write a PNG without any C libraries.
Tier 8
	gem install UPnP-ConnectionManager	Stub implementation for a UPnP ConnectionManager service. Currently has no implementation. Works great for a PlayStation 3.
	gem install UPnP-MediaServer	A UPnP MediaServer. Currently a work in progress. Only tested on a PlayStation 3.
Tier 9
	gem install production_log_analyzer	production_log_analyzer lets you find out which actions on a Rails site are slowing you down.
	gem install rails_analyzer_tools	Rails Analyzer Tools contains Bench, a simple web page benchmarker, Crawler, a tool for beating up on web sites, RailsStat, a tool for monitoring Rails web sites, and IOTail, a tail(1) method for Ruby IOs.
Tier 10
	gem install graph	Graph is a type of hash that outputs in graphviz's dot format. It comes with a command-line interface that is easily pluggable.
Tier 11
	gem install ar_mailer	ar_mailer is a two-phase delivery agent for ActionMailer. Even delivering email to the local machine may take too long when you have to send hundreds of messages. ar_mailer allows you to store messages into the database for later delivery by a separate process, ar_sendmail.
	gem install autotest	This is a stub gem to fix the confusion caused by autotest being part of the ZenTest suite.
	gem install autotest-screen	Update Gnu Screen caption with autotest results.
	gem install bfts	BFTS is a branch of rubicon with the intent of auditing all of rubicon against the latest version of 1.8.x, stripping all the cruft, and getting everything up to date again. rubicon is dead and the authors have shown no interest in getting things moving again. BFTS hopes to fix that.
	gem install box_layout	Allows you to lay out HTML using ASCII art. Stolen from psykotic's code posted to reddit: http://programming.reddit.com/info/k9dx/comments == SYNOPSIS: require 'box_layout' page_template = <<-END ---------- \| \| ---------- \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| ---------- \| \| ---------- END layout = BoxLayout.html page_template puts "<title>cute</title>" puts "<style>* { border: 1px solid black }</style>" puts layout % %w[header left body right footer].map {\|s\| "#{s}" } == REQUIREMENTS:
	gem install cached_model	CachedModel caches simple (by id) finds in memcached reducing the amount of work the database needs to perform for simple queries.
	gem install change_class	Lets you set the class of an object. Use at your own risk.
