similar to: Fwd: Rapid GUI Development with QtRuby

Hello to everyone I''m having trouble using RSpec to test code which uses QtRuby (both version 3 and 4). I noticed that, after upgrading from RSpec 1.0.5 to RSpec 1.0.8, some of my specs which used QtRuby caused spec (or rake, when used from a Rakefile) to hang indefinitly. After a bit of investigation, I found that the problem arose in the following situation: * requiring Qt4 / Qt3

Cross-posted to the blog (at http://lylejohnson.name/blog/2010/08/04/moving-on/): When Jamis Buck wrote last year about ceasing development on Capistrano, his post really struck a chord with me. If this post reminds you of that one, it''s because I re-read it before sitting down to compose this one. It was the next best thing to having Jamis on hand to give me a pep talk before I had to

Hello, Has anyone tested QtRuby? I''m doing a small OpenGL application http://www.discretizer.org and just want to know the arguments for staying with fxruby.

Hi, A quick question from a beginner: does it make sense to build the UI of a rails application with Qt, instead of bulding a web application?

On the client, ruby *could* be used too, since QtRuby exists. Your reactions are more than

Hi, I wanted to use wxSugar enumerable features to add a method for returning checked items'' index to the CheckListBox class : require ''wx_sugar/version'' require ''wx_sugar/wx_classes/control_with_items'' require ''wx_sugar/wx_classes/listctrl'' class Wx::CheckListBox def checked_items # use of find_all method from Enumerable

When we announced the second edition of Agile Web Development with Rails back in May, we pretty much killed the sales of the first edition paper book. So now, with the second edition just a few months away, we need to clear out some space. So, if you''d like to pick up a first edition paper book, they''re going (while stocks last) for $12.50 (plus shipping) from

I have bought the book, and are working with chapter 18 (about Ajax). I don''t get the List application example to function as expected. When i fill inn a name, and presses "Add Item".

Hello there, I am basically a J2EE refugee fascinated with Rails. I have been using the Spring framework (a lightweight J2EE java framework with some special characteristics) but I am so impressed with RoR that I am porting over many applications. In order to "dive into Rails", of course the second thing to do was get myself an IDE, and since I''ve been using Eclipse for the
