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? []'s ---

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. []'s ---

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 😃 []'s ---

Check out [http://dev.toolbocks.com](http://dev.toolbocks.com) or [http://svn.toolbocks.com/www/branches/1\_0/](http://svn.toolbocks.com/www/branches/1_0/) 🙂 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. -Nb On 4/19/06 8:21 PM, “Rafael Z.” [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) wrote: > > > Well, does anyone know a Toolbox-like tool for Rails? > > > Rails mailing list > > > removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid > > > [http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails](http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails) > > * * * > > Rails mailing list > removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid > [http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails](http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails) ```auto Nathaniel S.
