My first Ruby On Rails project

Posted on by

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 issuing  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.

Develop iPhone web applications

An interesting article has just been published on developerWorks: “Develop iPhone Web applications with Eclipse“. The article is a tutorial on how to create iPhone web sites using Eclipse, Aptana’s iPhone Development plug-in, and the iUi framework.

It could be fun to try to use these ideas on a Lotus Domino demo web application. Anyone up for the challenge?
