6/23 Ruby & Rails Links

Posted by larrywright

Update: Fixed the link for Ruby-Gnome (thanks to Curt for pointing out that I had linked to the old version, rather than the new). A few links that caught my eye today:

An introduction to Ruby on Rails for DB2 developers – Nice article if you’re a DB2 user and want to know what the fuss is about. Written by Edd Dumbill.

Ruby-Gnome2 Website – Appears to be a decent GUI toolkit for Ruby. I wish someone would get QT’s Ruby bindings working on Windows. The thing I miss most about Python is PyQT.

Sapphire in Steel: The Little Book of Ruby – Nice introduction to Ruby with plenty of code samples, in PDF form.

Ruby Cookbook – The Perl Cookbook, ported to Ruby.

Ruby Inside – A great new blog by Peter Cooper, focused solely on Ruby. The last two items came from this site. I don’t know how he finds all these cool links.

Configuring Rails Environments – The Cheat Sheet – Now you can find out what all of those neat settings in config/environments/* are.

    You most likely want to use Ruby-Gnome2, which has version 2.x bindings for Gnome and GTK:

    Curt, Yes, I think I saw that after I bookmarked the link above in del.icio.us. Thanks for pointing that out, I'll update the link.
