Rake - Part 1

  • Jacob Swanner

A look at the basics of creating Rake tasks. If you've been programming in Ruby for some time, or if you've worked on Rails applications, then you've used Rake before. However, you might not be familiar with the Rakefile syntax, or aware of all Rake provides.

This new series of screencasts aim to change that. Part 1 will cover the basic Rakefile syntax, task declaration, task dependencies, and file tasks.

You're really good at explaining the Rake commands, and I look forward to Part 2.

@alexbrahastoll,

Rake doesn't provide anything explicitly for database access -- nor does it have a concept of "database tasks"; but, you could use any Ruby DB library you want in a task: ActiveRecord, DataMapper, Sequel, etc.

Nice one, thanks a lot for that! But it is possible to provide (for us, the hard of hearing geeks) subtitles or the text of the this screencast?

Thanks again.
