Toolbox

Rails
1

Hello my friends

Today at FISL (International Forum of Free Software), I’ve had the
opportunity to watch a Turbogears presentation.

The framework, itself is really weak in comparison to rails, but… When
the
guy who was making the presentation show the NEW 0.9 TurboGears Toolbox
I’ve
though:

  • Isn’t something like that in Rails?

Well, after a little googleing around I’ve found NOTHING!

Well, does anyone know a Toolbox-like tool for Rails?

Yep.
ruby script/console

You can manipulate your data and actions at directly through your
application.

Yes, I know the console, but the question was:
‘does anyone know a Toolbox-like tool for Rails?’

ToolBox is a webapplication that make management of my model really
quick
and easy.

Download and try for yourself, it’s really good.

I think I’ll make something like to Rails, since I haven’t found nothing
as
easy.

Can you give us some points to prove this? I have been looking at TG
just before switched to rails, so never actually tried it, ergo i can
not tell the difference myself (just that RoR rocks! :wink: but there is
really so much difference between the two? (Just asking, i am already
a total RoR/Ruby fanatic, and anyway not claiming that what you are
writing here is not true, just i would be interested in some facts).

Thx,
Peter

Tnx Nathaniel, i’ll take a look

Peter,
Sorry, I’m take a closer look in TG yesterday and I came to the
conclusion
it’s not Weak, but much less agile than rails

You have a lot more code to make before anything start to occour.

Sorry for my bad English :smiley:

Check out http://dev.toolbocks.com or
http://svn.toolbocks.com/www/branches/1_0/ :slight_smile:

Something I have been working on, and very much in prototype, so expect
bugs
(and no documentation).

If you get it working, lemme know.

It’s a RAD tool for building models with Rails. It has a few other
gimmics.
