I’ve been off for a while but I’m planning to come back now that I resolved most of my personal and professional life issues that were not letting any time for me to write here.

I’ve been fond of Resource Libraries since I discovered resource_controller devolved by James Golick.

I’ve read some good stuff about ResourceLogic by Ben Johnson (the creator of Authlogic).

More recently emerged Inherited Resources by José Valim that claims to resolve many issues that resource_controller and ResourceLogic had.

I did not have time to study Inherited Resources or even to use it yet, but I suggest that you read the reasons why Ben Johnson decided to discontinue ResourceLogic development.

My personal opinion is: I’ll still use Resource Libraries when it is appropriate. Like everything, you must always ask yourself if it is pertinent to use it for this particular task, piece of code, controller, application, plugin, gem…
