RAD with Ruby

Posted by Hemos on from the i'm-big-in-japan dept.

Amit Upadhyay writes "KDE's award winning integrated development environment KDevelop, has integrated support for Ruby, an excellent and easy to use object oriented scrpting language. If you are looking for a good programming tool for quickly developing a professional one off application, Ruby (with KDE bindings) maybe just the thing for you. There is a quick tutorial and an online book to get you started. You may also want to read a quite informative comparison of Python with Ruby. If you are web developer or write enterprise applications with JAVA etc, take a look at Ruby on Rails(api), they have a nice blog too. KDevelop provides a GUI builder and Debugger for rapid application development(RAD) with Ruby, which is getting better. There is a nice tutorial on using KDE libraries with Ruby. And if you have lots of code in C/C++, extending Ruby to use them is easy.

    Where's the thought provoking stories from the olden days of the site?

    Slashdot caters to the masses now. Thought provoking articles generate a tenth of the traffic of the "Government is going to stick tracking chips up your ass" articles.
    It's all about generatic traffic for the advertisers.

    Thought provoking? Slashdot has not been "thought provoking" as long as I have been reading it, and that was around 2000, I think. I hear Junis upgraded to an Amiga! There has got to be a "your rights online" reality angle to it?
