In this episode, we explore session hijacking and an approach that we can take to limit the risk. There are some user experience and functionality caveats to this approach so they must be taken into consideration as well.

generates_token_for

#380 Dec 18, 2022 pro

In Rails 7.1, we're going to get a new feature that will allow us to generate tokens for attributes. With generates_token_for, a token can embed data from a record. When using the token to fetch the record, the data from the token and the data from the record will be compared.

Middleman is a static site generator using all the shortcuts and tools in modern web development. In this episode, we look at creating a static site using TailwindCSS and one of the TailwindUI templates. We also take an interesting approach to keep the development experience close to one that we would expect in a Rails application.

Testing External Sites

#359 Jul 24, 2022 pro

Sometimes we find ourselves in a situation where we are handling the releases for an important application in our organization, but with each release, a regression/happy path testing must occur. We can use Ruby and Capybara to test these external sites.
