hi  
I am new to ruby . I have knowledge over ruby on rail but I am working  
on aspnet mvc. Whenever I get off time I look into ruby. I believe  
time is revolving with ruby. I have passion for it to have hand on  
it.

When I plan to work with ruby I miss studio like visual studio of  
microsoft and master pages, controls etc .

Please can anyone explain it to me. I am an expert in [asp.net](http://asp.net) with c#;  
SQL server.

My google id is removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid to have chat with her/  
him.

Have a look at NetBeans. It’s an IDE that works well with Rails.

No. NetBeans is a great IDE, but it does not work at all well with  
Rails IMHO. I know some people would disagree, but I maintain that  
Rails does not need or benefit from an IDE. In fact, my experience with  
IDEs have been that they make Rails development _harder_, not easier.

Just use a good text editor with project management features. I’m fond  
of KomodoEdit, but there are lots of choices.

Yup.

Yup! Me to start with :0)

I think it depends where you come from. I am sure that users who come  
from a Visual Studio environment would feel more at home with an IDE.

IDE’s are not for everyone, but if someone says “I plan to work with  
ruby I miss … visual studio” then I think they want an IDE.

Too many people automatically assume that they need an IDE. I think  
it’s important to try developing in Rails without one first.
