Fyodor Kupolov has released a 1.0 beta of his Scriptella ETL framework. I downloaded it and integrated it into Ledgerscape, so far so good.
I blogged about Scriptella a while ago. It's a simple and elegant framework for declaratively manipulating result-set style data (typically but not necessarily from a database). Fyodor also seems to have updated the reference section with some nice diagrams that explain the concepts very clearly.
I've been using ant as a scripting language for assembling and deploying the new
CFOsoft.com
website. A few embarrassing typos later, I realized it would be nice to also be able to spellcheck it in the same process.
A quick google search turned up Rob Mayhew's AntSpell task. It works as advertised, no muss no fuss. 10 minutes later, I had it integrated into my build with a custom dictionary. Thanks Rob!
