Gardens Point Ruby.NET Compiler
“We are pleased to announce the preliminary Beta release of the Gardens Point Ruby.NET compiler. Note: this is not just a Ruby/.NET bridge, nor a Ruby Interpreter implemented on .NET, but a true .NET compiler. The compiler can be used to statically compile a Ruby source file into a verifiable .NET v2.0 assembly or it can be used to directly execute a Ruby source file (compile, load and execute). Our implementation is not yet fully complete, but it is the only Ruby compiler that we know of for either the .NET or JVM platforms that is able to pass all 871 tests in the samples/test.rb installation test suite of Ruby 1.8.2.”
Check it out here.

Ruby Eclipse
I had to find an IDE to work with and what better way to do it than in Eclipse. :-) Come to find out…there is a plugin called Ruby Eclipse. I haven’t toyed with it much but as long as it allows me to edit the .rb files I’m good to go. It does have some error checking too so that is good seeing as I don’t know a lick of Ruby. :-)
If you already have Eclipse 3+ installed you can install through the Software Updates feature with this url: http://rubyeclipse.sourceforge.net/nightlyBuild/updateSite/. For complete instructions visit the Ruby Eclipse site (on sourceforge).

Rails Apps come as MVC
After installing I couldn’t resist creating a test app. It was quite simple (see command line below). After installing I noticed something quite interesting while perusing the folders. In the /app folder they automatically install folders for the MVC (model, view, controller) architecture.

Installing Ruby
It is official. I am now installing Ruby, as I type this post, after seeing a post on Jim’s blog about Rails 1.0. It is an old post from December but it made me go ahead and follow the link to the install page. Installing is quite simple too.

Is it all hype?
Well, I’m previewing a Ruby on Rails book so I decided to make it a category here. I’m mainly interested in seeing if it is all hype since Jim Jeffers raves about it. :-) As I learn more about this technology and toy around with some code I’ll be sure to post here. This will definitely come second to me learning more about C# but it will still get some major play for “reading material.” :-)
