Ruport is an extensible reporting system written and extensible with Ruby. It provides help with the input, with support for a wide range of sources such as CSV or ActiveRecord models and more. The output side is supported by formatters for CSV, HTML or PDF.Users of Ruport interested in upgrading should watch out for the list of breaking changes in 1.2 to see if they need to update their code:
- Data::Feeder allows for custom transformations and filters on data
- Grouping#sigma added (Thanks Dave Nelson)
- Formatter::PDF#draw_text! will draw text at an absolute position, ignoring margins
- Formatter::Template provides a simple templating system for renderer options
An ongoing effort is the Ruport Book, a free book complementing the existing Ruport API documentation and demonstrating how to use Ruport. For more projects around Ruport, such as Rails support, see http://code.rubyreports.org/.
- acts_as_reportable now uses real association names
- Data::Table constructors now yield Data::Feeder objects instead of Data::Table
- append_hash, append_array, and append_record removed from Data::Table
- Renderer::Hooks changed signature for renderable_data() to renderable_data(format)
- Formatter::PDF#draw_text no longer changes the position of the drawing cursor
- Ruport 0.7 style stage building syntax removed

Brian Marick takes us through a quick tour of the most important values and challenges to adopting Agile successfully (they aren't the typical challenges and values we hear in the community).
The line between development and architecture is tricky. Does it exist at all? Is an ivory tower actually needed? There's a balance in the middle, but how do you move from developer to architect?
The word 'authority' sometimes produces an allergic response in hard-line agilists. Freedom and authority – both are bad if misused and both are good if used in right spirit for a noble cause.
"Getting Started with Grails" brings you up to speed on this modern web framework. Companies as varied as LinkedIn, Wired, and Taco Bell are all using Grails. Are you ready to get started as well?
Those familiar with only ITIL V2 often scoff at the thought that ITIL could serve as a governance framework for SOA. With ITIL V3, the focus of the framework shifted towards service-orientation.
SpringSource CTO Adrian Colyer discusses AspectJ, SpringSource's dm Server and tc Server products, OSGi and Scrum.
Heroku's Adam Wiggins talks about Rails, Background Jobs, Add-Ons, Ruby, and how Heroku manages to work around Ruby's inefficiencies using Erlang and other languages.
For Grady Booch the foundation of a good architecture is patterns, SOA being just one of many patterns. In this Second Life presentation, Booch attempts to bring more clarity on what architecture is.
