Folks,

I’ve just put up a wiki for tips, tricks, code snippets, and rants  
related  
to Ruby.

“Dude, there are a ton of Ruby information sources, what makes yours  
different?”

Glad you asked…

- I’ve been a hard-core Java guy since 1996 (I ran the first  
large-scale WebLogic deployment) and have recently fallen in lust  
with  
Ruby. You’ll see that flavor running through the site. Ruby is the  
Java of  
the next 10 years.
- I was once a hard-core NextStep guy (I wrote the Mesa spreadsheet  
for NextStep) who learned to do programing in Objective-C with a  
SmallTalk  
style UI framework. You’ll see that flavor running through the site.  
Ruby  
feels so much like Objective-C. I’m surprised there isn’t a project  
to  
build Interface Builder in Ruby (boy… that’d be kick-ass.)
- I’ve written a bunch of Domain Specific Languages (see  
[SmartMode {Home}](http://web.archive.org/web/20011005170055/www.smartmode.com/index.htm)).  
I recently re-implemented SiteMap in Ruby (it’s a Ruby Forge  
project.)  
It took ~ 6,000 LOC in Java and ~800 LOC in Ruby. You’ll see some  
DSL  
flavor running through the site.

So if you’re a NextStep/OS X/Interface Builder to Java to Ruby to DSL  
kind  
of person or have stuff in common with some of those items, come play in  
my  
Ruby playground.

Thanks and I look forward to everybody’s inputs and contributions.

David
