About DVD Pila!
The word Pila is Spanish for Pile, and I have a pile of DVDs that I’d like to rip and record that I have ripped them.
This project started as an excuse to learn Ember.js and use the Bourbon SASS mixin library. For version 3.0 the project morphed into a Ruby on Rails app and has become an excuse to learn React.js… at least at some point.
Here are some additional projects that DVD Pila! relies on:
| Project | Reason |
|---|---|
| Ruby | Without Ruby there would be no Rails, but Ruby is a great language for a lot of things. |
| Ruby on Rails | Probably the best website framework out there. After using several Rails allows fast and easy development of great database backed sites. |
| PostgreSQL | A cool database I have wanted to use for a while, and you gotta store your data somewhere. |
| jQuery | Not sure what the web would look like today without jQuery, but it would sure as heck be a log less friendly. |
| Foundation | Makes things look good and has a lot of UX baked in. |
| Sass | A lot more fun writing CSS with SASS |
| CoffeeScript | Manipulating video playback is made a lot easier with CoffeeScript. |
| Dragonfly | Makes file upload very easy for images, files, etc. |
Smoosh all these projects together with some code from various blogs, StackOverflow questions, etc, and I give you DVD Pila!.
Hope you enjoy!
Party On!
