SapphireSteel Software has just launched a new version of Ruby In Steel
(The Text Edition) complete with a copy of Visual Studio 2008 for an
all-in price of $49.
It has Ruby and RHTML/ERb editing and debugging and is hosted in Visual
Studio which also includes an HTML designer, JavaScript IntelliSense, a
Macro IDE etc.
Feature highlights of the Text Edition include:
- code colouring/folding (Ruby/ERb)
- Auto expand snippets (Ruby/ERb) plus snippet editor
- Bracket and keyword matching
- Code formatting tools
- Integrated debugging with step into/over/ watch variables and
‘drill-down’ - Customization with alternative colour schemes
- Integrated command prompt and docked interactive Ruby and IRB consoles
- All in one setup program to install Visual Studio, Ruby, Ruby In
Steel, Rails and MySQL - Comprehensive documentation and integrated help
The principal differences between the Text and the Developer Editions
are that only the Developer Edition has full IntelliSense and our
ultra-fast ‘Cylon’ debugger (the Text Edition has a slower Ruby-based
debugger).
