I''ve been mostly lurking here with an occasional nuby question for a few weeks now. It seems like Ruby and Rails and the many libraries and tools growing up around it are a remarkable toolset. Unfortunately I''m finding the whole enchilada a bit daunting. It seems that if one is to truly tap into the power of this thing and do a significant amount of developing, one needs

Greetings, I am curious, I see quite a few references to using TextMate for rails development. I downloaded TextMate and used it for 30 days. I do not see what everyone is raving about. Snipplets are nice, but other editors do the same thing, some with much more power. Can anyone tell me what makes people draw to TextMate? Maybe I am missing the whole reason, I''d really like to

Hi All, Rails code must be readable, formatted and well indented. I wanted to do indent code in my previous projects. Is there any built in rails plugin/gem that can help me to indent my existing code. Any ideas will be really appreciated ! NOTE: Please don''t suggest editor plugins.

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

Just a quick question, if I were tired of typing ruby into a terminal editor, say I wanted, oh, a scroll bar, mouse support, and maybe syntax highlighting? Anyone know os a good Ruby/Rails editor or IDE, one that runs on OS X, possibly in Java? -Josh ----------- Due to the recent increase in spam and falsely sent email, I now PGP Sign all of my outgoing mail to prove my identity.

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

Is there anyone out there can give me a comparison between RadRails/ Aptana and Textmate? I have been using skEdit for all of my general coding stuff, but I am now looking into getting a new editor for my Ruby/Rails work. I know that most Mac users swear by Textmate, but I would really like to hear some comparisons between RadRails, Textmate, and even skEdit as well. What your thoughts and

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/.

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

Hi, I''m using TextMate for rails development on OSX, but have reached a point where I need to run in a debugger and be able to step through the code as it executes. I have previously used the Eclipse Ruby plug in and another IDE for ruby development on windows, but never figured out how to run a Rails app in the debugger. How are other textmate users debugging and what else is there on

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/.

I am about to purchase a laptop strictly for development (ruby & rails) and then leverage my existing large screen monitor with it when in the office. Laptop monitor for running tests, large screen for development etc. Wondering what the consensus is now on most ideal environment for rails at this point? Macbook pro + textmate? Pc with unbuntu + vim(or whatever)? what are most professional

does anyone know of a good place to find an open source / freeware text editor? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Last week I had the pleasure of attending the Raleigh area Ruby users Meetup. It was very interesting and very informative. I did feel a bit out of place when we noticed that of the 11-12 people there, I was the only one with a PC laptop. The rest were shiny macs. Ah well, I need to replace this thing soon, and now that BootCamp is out, I really have no more excuses. This way I can test

Just thought I''d announce this on the Rails list since I know several of you use Textmate: there''s a new feature I''m calling "Multiple Arbitrary Simultaneous Carets" or MASC for short, which is available in my personal TM bundle. It''s been handy enough for me that I thought others might enjoy it.

Did I sound like our President? :) <spin> I didn''t explain myself well. I am not thinking of buying the identically equipped PC laptop either at the same price. If I had a $2500-$3000 budget (laptop, Applecare + case etc) I might consider the Mac, but then in the PC laptop universe there are more options of going with the slower processors (T2300 or T2400) for about $1,000 less
