Ruby On Rails .... on Mac OS X
first off ... i don't have 10.5 Server. so i don't have access to the RoR environment that ships with that.
what i was wondering is if anyone knew of any RoR installers/packages that they'd recommend? i remember using a Locomotive a while back but thought i'd see if anyone else had something they really liked.

Re: Ruby On Rails .... on Mac OS X
Yeah, I don't know of a RoR binary, and some of the setup can be a little hairy, but there are some very nice walkthroughs out there. Check out the Rails site and others.
Also, I've been meaning to download and play with Aptana, which is a RoR (etc.) development environment for cool web apps (think Ajax).

i have the free version of Aptana. the free version doesn't know what to do with .php files. probably something reserved for the commercial version.

Re: Ruby On Rails .... on Mac OS X
Where did PHP come from? Though it's good to know...

Re: Ruby On Rails .... on Mac OS X
I was going to make a new topic, but this one is close enough to avoid that...
Does anyone here know of any good RoR books? I'm an advanced php programmer, and I know c++ and some others, but not ruby. I have to make an intranet site and I like the speed of RoR (or what I've seen/heard of it). Thanks!

Install the PHP Plugin, and you'll be good to go.
Aptana is not just for rails, and is really a visual development environment for AJAX development.
