Originally I shared this digest to Syndicode blog.

As usual, I try to write both digests (JS and Rails) simultaneously and release them one after another. Today is the turn for Rails!

This time you will read about e-commerce solutions, Rails security, row sorting library, testing Rails engines and other great RoR projects on GitHub!
