In previous articles we covered the most popular sources of information (and inspiration too) to start learning Rails or enhance your programming level: from tutorials and books to online courses and schools.

At every Ruby meetup you are most likely to hear two things: Ruby is slow and it has GIL. All Ruby developers know about it and it was strange to face this topic at the conference again. However, after talking to other developers I was surprised to learn that only few of them know when it is better to write parallel algorithms in Ruby.
The majority said that there was no point to use parallelism as all threads were executed one by one (thanks to GIL).
I will try to show you the cases when concurrency and parallelism make sense.

Since the late 90s content management systems (CMS) have been increasing in their popularity. It’s not surprising as they provide tools and environment to manage the content without any special coding skills. So no need to be a Jedi and hand code anything: with certain efforts and minimal time spent even newbies will feel comfortable with CMS.
There are many content management systems created in different programming languages. I would like to focus on Ruby and make a short list of popular CMS available in this language.
