I need to write a method for calculating the fee for medical procedures with respect to area. I have all the tables and data but its hard to give that here. Can someone take a look at this ''stub'' method and help me out? def calculate_fee # strip out the first 3 numbers of the user entered zip code # use those 3 numbers to identify row in [zipcodes table] (between upper and

I have been learning Rails and building small things over the last several months. Question I have that has been surprising difficult to figure out is this (I know it seems somewhat nonsensical but ignore that). I recently started getting a few requests for basic website to be built, small businesses, stores, even individual people. How would one about doing such a thing using Rails? I may not

Hello, First and foremost sorry for off topic message, but I thought maybe you smart guys can help me to decide about purchasing a MacBook or not. I was going to buy a MacBook but I found a story on digg.com about case discoloring and after googling the subject I found MacBook defects: http://www.appledefects.com/wiki/index.php?title=MacBook_Pro I''m totally confused, should I buy it?

Hi, Does anybody have a vim script that enables me to run specs from within vim and have the cursor positioned on the right line in case of a backtrace? TIA, Erik.

Been trying out Macvim and I think I have covered most of what I used in other editors except for how to handle global searches and replaces for text in files (i.e. not looking for file names, but search and replace text within all files below a specific directory). Can anyone who uses MacVim tell me what they use for such tasks? I have been poking around and see :grep as the main method, although

Well, the worm has turned and I think I may actually get an Apple ;P. But I can''t decide which one. Pros and cons: 14" iBook: + modem (for when broadband kicks out, or on the road and there''s no WIFI) + screen is probably big enough (though I currently have a 15" Dell) + doesn''t get as hot as the MacBook + almost half the cost + less likely to get stolen -

I was wondering if there are any IDEs out there that has autocomplete features for win32. It would be perfect if it could do something akin to what DHH is doing on the screencast hosted on the rails website. http://media.rubyonrails.org/video/rails_take2_with_sound.mov Cheers -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

My first computer was a Mac (SE30) but it was also my last so I am not without appreciation of Apples wonderful aptitude for design. Without starting a flame-fest why do so many ruby and rails developers use a Mac ? It seems to be a commonality within the ruby and RoR community. Especially laptops. The first ruby users group meeting I attended was about 50% Macs (or so it seemed to me - I

Caveat: this is not a discussion about *hosting* a rails app on windows. Anyway...Macs are everywhere you look when researching rails (demo vids, tutorials, and pictures from rails training classes). I''m interested in what the pros to using a Mac for rails development are (besides textmate). Is it more of a cultural thing, a what would 37 signals do thing, is it a unix thing, or

Hi all I've been having problems getting a particular game to work properly in Wine under OS X, and have been working on the assumption that it's a software problem with Wine. However, some testing I have done today is making me think it's a problem elsewhere, possibly something to do with graphics drivers. Here's the testing I have done: OS / Method / Wine Version / Outcome: OS

Hey, I know it''s a basic question and I do not want a discussion about which one is the best in general, I only want to know which OS you''d recomment for programing in Rails and to do webdesign. Maybe you can also tel me why you think so? Regards, zok --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

For what I know you can''t use the TM bundles... But like mgutz pointed there''s a lot of plugins. There is some alternatives to achieve something like TM bundles. Look at this links: - GMate - http://github.com/lexrupy/gmate/ (http:// alexandredasilva.wordpress.com/gmate/) - gedit-rails - http://github.com/mig/gedit-rails/ Think that GMate is the most complete. I use these as

What is the IDE tools used in the video on the homepage of the www.rubyonrails.org?I had thought it was Komodo,however after I had installed that i found they were different.I do think the IDE used in the video is very cool for its autocomplete abilities especially in the Views development.Thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi All, I''ve finally got fed up of struggling with Windows and am on the verge of splashing out on a Macbook for Ruby/Rails development. I''ve seen DHH''s post about it on loudthinking but I wondered if anyone else has any more wisdom... Is it worth it over a powerbook? Any tips on good OSX apps for Rails dev (textmate, i know already)? Anything not working well on

I might be buying a Mac tomorrow. I checked out the new 13.3in MacBook at the new Apple Store on 5th ave in NYC. I''m torn between the smaller MacBook and the MacBook Pro. We have a pro at work and I''m not that thrilled with the way it feels. I like the keyboard much better on the 13inch. However, I think doing development on that small of a screen could get frustrating. Any

The 1.0 version of our bundle is now available for download, along with a 10 minute demonstration of it in use. See http:// syncpeople.com/downloads. == What is syncPEOPLE on Rails? == syncPEOPLE on Rails is a bundle of snippets, macros and commands for TextMate that make Rails development on the Mac even easier. Generate scaffolds, migrations, models and controllers from inside the

How many people out there are doing Rails development on a Mac Mini? I''ve been eyeing up the MacBook as well as the new MacMini trying to decide if I want to splurge. I''ve been doing very little Rails development thus far which makes the investment a little hard to justify. The Free Mini Mac ( http://minimacs.freepay.com/?r=16778073) offer seems like the best route but

Well I finally broke down and got me one of those Intel iMacs and a copy of Textmate. It took me a bit to get use to Textmate but once I learned some of the shortcuts I was cruising. Mac OS X took very little time to get used to as I already had a decent *nix background. Up until this point I had been primarily on Windows. Some of the productivity highlights I''ve found: 1. My CPU

I got a Powerbook recently and am debating buying TextMate. I installed the trial and have checked it out, but don''t see what''s so great about it. AFAICS it''s the Ruby and Rails macros for expansion and other stuff that might be it. Other than that, TextMate seems like a pretty basic editor. I currently use PSPad and Editplus, and I could probably get/make macros

Lets say you had a pretty decent job, but your company mandated use of emacs. The poaching employer offers you a free copy of Textmate(tm). Would you jump ship solely in order to use Textmate at company B? Cheers, Dave -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
