The latest version of the free Personal Edition of Ruby In Steel is now available for download: http://www.sapphiresteel.com/Steel-Download-and-Change-Log Ruby In Steel beta 0.76 incorporates a number of additional features to help to tailor the importation and synchronization of Ruby and Rails projects. You can now selectively exclude hidden files and directories as well as specific file extensions when importing or synchronizing projects in the Visual Studio Solution Explorer. While this is still beta software (and many improvements are still to be added in forthcoming versions), Ruby In Steel 0.76 already boasts a large range of development features for editing, debugging, database development, Rails development and project management. SapphireSteel Software is also working on a forthcoming commercial ‘Developer Edition’ of Ruby In Steel which will feature true IntelliSense and a much faster debugger. best wishes Huw Collingbourne SapphireSteel Software http://www.sapphiresteel.com/ -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

It''s certainly an interesting project Huw, and a great example of how extensible Visual Studio can be. But, what do you think the market is like for people willing to spend hundreds (even thousands) on Microsoft Visual Studio just so that they can write Ruby on Rails code? RadRails and TextMate both do a (in my opinion) better job at a much better price. Just curious. -------------------------------------------------- Peter Wright froogle-jY3Lu0o19T39IxVxf2VSKA@public.gmane.org Personal Blog -> http://peterwright.blogspot.com Agile Development Blog -> http://exceeding-expectations.blogspot.com On 30 Sep 2006, at 14:23, Huw Collingbourne wrote:> The latest version of the free Personal Edition of Ruby In Steel is > now > available for download: > > http://www.sapphiresteel.com/Steel-Download-and-Change-Log > > Ruby In Steel beta 0.76 incorporates a number of additional > features to > help to tailor the importation and synchronization of Ruby and Rails > projects.

To date, most of the feedback has come from existing Visual Studio users who are developing for Ruby or Ruby On Rails and (on the whole) have been frustrated by having to give up using VS for these projects. On the basis of this feedback, I''d say that there is a surprising large number of VS users who are doing some development with Ruby. That said, we are also getting a fair number of emails from people who are either considering switching or have already switched to VS in order to use Ruby On Steel. For professional development the price of VS represents a tiny fraction of the overall investment so is unlikely to be a major concern. For non-professional development, naturally the price would be a turnoff. On the other hand, MS does hefty discounts for students and academic users e.g. $49.95 for VS 2005 Standard http://www.gradware.com/ProductDetailT.asp?ProductID=6516 So, $49.95 plus the free edition of Ruby In Steel is still a pretty good deal I reckon...> RadRails and TextMate both do a (in my opinion) better job at a > much better price.Can you highlight the areas in which you think they excel? I''d be very keen to know about them ;-) best wishes Huw http://www.sapphiresteel.com -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
