Without a niche

RDT, Eclipse and Rails

Posted by dpitkin Wed, 17 Aug 2005 04:00:07 GMT

I have written a bunch of ruby the past few days to manipulate source files for the development group. I am frustrated that the Ruby-Eclipse plugin is not compatible with version 3.1 of the Eclipse IDE. I hate spending time downloading and upgrading and then having to revert back to a previous version. I started to dive into the code where the problem lies in jface but real work called.

I also built my first Ruby on Rails application at home saturday morning, it was just two of the online tutorials but it was fun, ruby is still a joy to use. If you have not watched the fifteen minute Ruby on Rails video or I highly recommend it as an example of how quickly you can build a database driven website that is easy to maintain using the framework from basecamp, it is probably even quicker than the GUI in Visual Studio 2005.
