My first Ruby On Rails project

February 21st, 2009

Yesterday I heard a podcast from the Danish builder.dk site where the builder.dk team interviewed David Heinemeier Hansson who created Ruby On Rails. This inspired me to try out Ruby On Rails. I download the Ruby On Rails one-click installer and MySQL and then followed this guide to install everything.

After the installation I created my first (empty) project by issuing "rails testproject". I could then start the web server from the testproject directory by issuingĀ  the command "ruby script/server" - and test the result at http://127.0.0.1:3000/. Voila!

Now I just need to do some real Ruby On Rails coding. I plan to use Aptana as the IDE because it has the RadRails authoring environment.
