Continuing on from Episode 364, we look at a few different approaches to getting live updates on Full Calendar. We look at a few attempts which seems to work, but introduce unfavorable bugs and finally a workaround to get things working nicely.

In this episode, we use Hotwire and FullCalendar to create an appointment scheduling program. We will look at blocking appointments outside of business hours as well as preventing overlapping appointments.

In this episode, we create a highly interactive question and answer feature using Ruby on Rails and Hotwire. We also look at handling contextual actions based on the user when broadcasting the answers, all without writing any javascript.

In this episode, we look at two different ways to handle donations with Stripe. The first method is a "no code" way that would work on any website that may not have a backend. The second method, we use the Stripe gem and their API to create a Checkout session for handling donations.

Parsing through the Ruby on Rails CHANGELOG can reveal some interesting features and changes in the framework. In this episode, we look at one of those changes around inserting records into our database.
