Dave Elkins » ruby http://daveelkins.com Thu, 22 Jul 2010 18:24:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 en hourly 1 Introducing GroopBuyr gem http://daveelkins.com/2010/07/22/introducing-groopbuyr-gem/ http://daveelkins.com/2010/07/22/introducing-groopbuyr-gem/#comments Thu, 22 Jul 2010 18:24:31 +0000 dave http://daveelkins.com/?p=202 I have built and release the GroopBuyr gem at http://github.com/elkinsware/groopbuyr. This is a simple wrapper around the GroopBuy API to get deals through their api.

GroopBuy is a company that aggregates deals from many sites like GroupOn, LivingSocial and others so you can find all the deals for a city in one place. The API is really simple and easy to use.

You can install it by running this command:
gem install groopbuyr

You can see the code at http://github.com/elkinsware/groopbuyr.

Let me know what you think.

It goes into a lot of details about how ruby allocates memory and how the GC works.  Also, talks about tracking down memory leaks.
