Apple Publishes Ruby On Rails Tutorial

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the big-pictures-that-ever-your-manager-can-understand dept.

bonch writes "Apple has noticed the high amount of Mac usage in the Ruby on Rails community and has posted an illustrated Ruby on Rails tutorial. The document goes into more concise detail in getting new users up to speed, from database schema to moving beyond scaffolding, all done with the favored Rails editor, Textmate."

    Jobs: Ruby is groovy man. It's got like, vibe. We had to get in on that.

    Gates: C# with .NET offers more flexibility with less development worries and higher performance...

    Jobs: Man! Talk about Squaresville! Ruby is hip man! It's a love machine. A child of the earth.

    Torvalds: Ruby is based on perl, which is in turn based on bash scripting, which I like.

    Jobs: You see man! Ruby is a free spirit. It grows in like, the sunshine. It doesn't obey your rules!

    Gates: But it's just another paradigm. .NET can accomplish all the same....

    Jobs: On Rails man! Rails!!! It's like hyperspeed into the cosmos. And that's why its fit for Apple's attention. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go get some podcasts over rss, browse some blogs, do some yoga. You dig?

    ***Jobs walk's away clicking fingers rhythmicly***

    Gates: But it's all just flash and hype. Nothing really new is going on! .NET does all this! Why won't anyone listen? You believe me right?

    Torvalds: Look man. I really just don't give a shit.

    This is all about Ruby, which is a programming language! Everyone knows you aren't programming a Mac unless you're slogging along with XCode.

    So, is this Rails things really official? I wouldn't want to get in trouble.

  4. Re:Another great tutorial, but.... by killjoe · · Score: 2, Funny

    I don't know what to tell you. I guess ROR isn't for you. Maybe try PHP, there is a lot of documentation there. I was going to say try zope but it's even harder and the documentation is even more outdated.

    I guess there is always java. Lost of documentation there if you want to spend all your time typing everything three times.... Customer myCustomer = new CustomerFactory.createCustomer("joe").asCustomer()

    Whatever you do stay away from perl though, that way lies madness.
