My background is Windows development using Visual Studio and I''m trying to get up to speed with Ruby on Rails, so please excuse these basic questions. I''ve downloaded InstantRails and can run the sample application - so Apache, MySQL, Ruby etc. are working. Where''s the "development environment"? Where do I go to edit files, create models and controllers etc? Where can I run unit tests and see a green bar on success? Do I need some other applications perhaps? Thanks Julian -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
Hi Julian , Actually we dont have a Developement enviroment as such for ruby on rails like we have Visual Studio 6 or visual studio 2003.You can make use of any text editors or the basic Notepad for creating the Rails related files and editing those . Also you should use the dos command prompt for entering the ruby related commands like the "ruby script/server " .

Hi julian, Personally i use RadRails ide which is based on eclipse. You can find it via http://www.radrails.org/. And also there is Komodo ( http://www.activestate.com/Products/Komodo/ ) which have an educational free licance option. Good days... -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

You might want to check out the excellent Rolling with Ruby on Rails tutorial [1] which will talk you through starting with RoR using Windows and will give you a sample project to play with.
