I'm looking to create a cron job that will collect data from multiple rss feeds and store the info in a database table.
Two example's of feeds I'll be parsing:
http://news.google.com/news?ned=ie&topic=n&output=rss
http://rss.news.yahoo.com/rss/asia
I was wondering if people have suggestions for the best rails gem to use to do this?
(Don't want to start with one to find out half way through that there are limitations/bugs.)
Thanks
Check out Feedzirra, an excellent feed reader for Rails.

I'm new to Ruby and would like to learn how to build a gem that allows users to sensor different parts of a photo they upload. Hence, any tutorials, git repositories, or similar gems would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
Check RMagick.

I had seen a interesting course of Ruby on the Code School (Try Ruby/Rails for Zumbies).
But I would like to know if there's another ones?
If you know someone, please let me know.
If you are looking specifically for interactive courses/tutorials:
Ruby in Twenty Minutes
Rails for Zombies
Check http://rubyonrails.org/documentation There are many references.

We're currently using geokit to determine our users' countries of origin, but we're concerned about the volumens of queries we're going to generate. Since most of our visitors are one-offs, just caching the results isn't sufficient; we need something with its own look-up table. Is there a freely available database we can pull from every so often? Or is there an alternative we haven't considered?
After seeing this question we went with MaxMind GeoLite Country which has a free IP-to-country map downloadable in CSV format. Apparently it has some issues with AOL users but it's been good enough for our purposes so far.
Have you considered Geonames ?

I'm creating rails application where it allow users to add geo-location data for restaurants, shops, etc., to a (Google) map and query it.
First I started with http://geoapi.com, as there is a feature for creating our own entities and querying them. But the service doesn't support my country well. So, I decided to create and store the geo-location data on my own database.
Can someone please tell me what are the best gems/plugins available for this?
I found these, but I'd like to get some feedback from you. Thanks

I would reccomend PostGIS and then use a Ruby Connector.

What is the best plugin or gem for adding comments to the ActiveRecord models in rails?
Maybe there is one with ability to rate each comments with votes +1/-1 (like on youtube for example) and a cool view helper to display comments in a tree?
