Smart web designing and web development. The eclips3.media (ECLM) development blog.
Behold, behold, Rails 2.0 is almost here. Take a quick look here to check out the new killer features. There is a preview version available as well. Must be seen!
Update:
This morning (November 29th) the Rails team has released RC2 so if you are a freak who is keen on the latest builds and wants to check out RC2 - use the svn checkout command of:
svn co http://dev.rubyonrails.org/svn/rails/tags/rel_2-0-0_RC2 vendor/rails
In April 2007, A List Apart and An Event Apart conducted a survey of people who make websites. Close to 33,000 web professionals answered the survey’s 37 questions, providing the first data ever collected on the business of web design and development as practiced in the U.S. and worldwide. Now the results just became public.
The findings they present here have never been seen before, because until now, no one has ever conducted public research to learn the facts of our profession.
Take a quick look at the website, read the article and check out the results which are available in different formats, such as Adobe PDF. (1.6 megabytes)
There are lots of good editors for Ruby development, such as Aptana (formerly known as RadRails) which is based on the Eclipse framework so it needs lots of resources to run (because is is based on Java). An other solution can be RoRED. RoRED seems to be OK, but I really miss lots of features from it.
If I say IDE, I mean a full featured environment with project management, useful editor and debugging features. And this is when Visual Studio comes in. Microsoft’s Visual Studio is one of the most famous IDEs, used by lots of programmers who have to focus on .Net, ASP, C, C++, C#. But what about Ruby developers? Since now it can be used as a Ruby On Rails IDE with a “small extension” built by SapphireSteel Software: Ruby In Steel.

In the development scene lots of people are using Macs and OS X. If you can afford to buy a Mac (or you already have one or maybe more :)) the best choice for you must be TextMate. I can say it is the best code editor what I’ve seen so far on the OS X platform. It has lots of useful features, such as text snippets (for Ruby On Rails as well).

I’ve just noticed Ruby on Rails in a couple of months ago and I got so exited about it. It is a web application framework which is optimized for programming pleasures, fast and easy to use features.
Rails is based on a new programming language, called Ruby, which is a dynamic, open source (!!) programming language with a focus on simplicity and productivity. It has an elegant syntax that is natural to read and easy to write. Continue reading ‘Introducing Ruby On Rails’
