Web excursions: March 7 - March 12

Links of interest from March 7 through March 12:

• Ruby for Newbies: Working with Directories and Files
  Good overview of the basics of Ruby file and directory handling.
• jessegrosjean/DropboxSync - GitHub
  An iOS framework for incorporating Dropbox in a way that allows it to perform like it does on other operating systems. Thanks Jesse!
• WordPress Upgrade Class for Commercial or Client Plugins - WordPress and Ajax
  Work in progress, according to the author, but a great option for WordPress plugin authors for handling automatic updates outside of the main repository.
• pinboard-backup.sh at master from symm/pinboard-backup - GitHub
  Even if you don't need to back up Pinboard bookmarks, the automated use of curl, git and logger get the mind churning, don't they?
• jQuery Form Framework - jFormer
  "A form framework written on top of jQuery that allows you to quickly generate beautiful, standards compliant forms." Very nice.
