Sorry, I’m a total newbie, but I’m very interested in RoR. I just
watched the video “How to Build a Blog in 15 Minutes”. He seemed to be
using a few different applications. Can someone walk me through the
applications he was using? I want to start the long process of learning
how to do all this… (At the moment, I’m using Dreamweaver, and my
site is made with Wordpress. I can understand the PHP involved pretty
well now).
Get “Agile Web D. with Rails 2nd Ed” first. If you like that,
consider “Ruby for Rails” and “Programming Ruby” for a more thorough
understanding of the language.

Hi
Actually he only uses four - the Mac OS X Terminal, TextMate, the
Safari web browser, and what I assume is the standard MySQL desktop
admin tool

Thanks everyone!

I think the MySQL tool was CocoaMySQL; it’s pretty nifty.
Not seen that before… it looks quite slick. I wish someone would
do a nice cocoa client for PG… it’s the one thing missing from my
Rails experience. The latest pgAdmin is ok but so clunky… often I
work in psql because it can be so much faster if I know what I’m doing.
TextMate bundle anyone?

CocoaMySQL is not all that, the interface is nice but thats where it
ends.
Go for yourSQL instead!! → http://yoursql.ludit.it/

Anyone here building a blog in 15 minutes? What are you doing for CMS?
Mephisto is the baby.
I’ve written up all the instructions in a PDF guide. This guide assumes
you will be using our free Visual Studio Ruby IDE. However, all the
steps could equally be replicated, albeit with more effort 
using
other editors and issuing commands from the prompt. At any rate, if you
follow along with DHH’s video and refer to our PDF guide it should help
you figure out what’s going on.
