Getting output of system() calls in ruby. Getting Started with Rails. 1 Guide Assumptions This guide is designed for beginners who want to get started with a Rails application from scratch. It does not assume that you have any prior experience with Rails. Rails is a web application framework running on the Ruby programming language. If you have no prior experience with Ruby, you will find a very steep learning curve diving straight into Rails.

There are several curated lists of online resources for learning Ruby: Be aware that some resources, while still excellent, cover versions of Ruby as old as 1.6, and commonly 1.8, and will not include some syntax that you will see in day-to-day development with Rails. 2 What is Rails? Rails is a web application development framework written in the Ruby programming language. Rails is opinionated software. The Rails philosophy includes two major guiding principles: 3 Creating a New Rails Project The best way to read this guide is to follow it step by step. 3.1 Installing Rails Open up a command line prompt. 4 Hello, Rails! Ruby Classes and Objects. Ruby is a perfect Object Oriented Programming Language. The features of the object-oriented programming language include: Data Encapsulation: Data Abstraction:Polymorphism:Inheritance: These features have been discussed in Object Oriented Ruby.

An object-oriented program involves classes and objects. A class is the blueprint from which individual objects are created. In object-oriented terms, we say that your bicycle is an instance of the class of objects known as bicycles. Take the example of any vehicle. A vehicle can also have certain functions, such as halting, driving, and speeding. A class Vehicle can be defined as: Class Vehicle{ Number no_of_wheels Number horsepower Characters type_of_tank Number Capacity Function speeding { } Function driving { } Function halting { }} By assigning different values to these data members, you can form several instances of the class Vehicle. Defining a Class in Ruby: class Customerend You terminate a class by using the keyword end. Example: #! Hello Ruby! Ruby Version Manager - Using gnome-terminal with rvm. If you are going to use RVM installations with gnome-terminal, you'll probably need to change its default options.

Note that Ubuntu's and Linux Mint Terminal application is actually gnome-terminal. Multi-User RVM creates a script in /etc/profile.d, which is being sourced on startup. Also, most people put the RVM sourcing line required to load RVM in their ~/.bash_profile for Single-User installs. By default, gnome-terminal runs Bash as usual, as a non-login shell, therefore skipping /etc/profile* and executing only the user's ~/.bashrc. This means that RVM doesn't load and you get the infamous 'RVM is not a function' message. For RVM to work properly, you have to check the 'Run command as login shell' checkbox on the Title and Command tab of gnome-terminal's Edit ▸ Profile Preferences menu dialog, in case the menu is missing right click the terminal app and navigate Profiles ▸ Profile Preferences.

Here is a screen shoot of the dialog with highlighted checkbox: Ruby on Rails Tutorial: Learn Rails by Example book and screencasts by Michael Hartl | Beginning. Michael Hartl Contents Foreword My former company (CD Baby) was one of the first to loudly switch to Ruby on Rails, and then even more loudly switch back to PHP (Google me to read about the drama). This book by Michael Hartl came so highly recommended that I had to try it, and the Ruby on Rails Tutorial is what I used to switch back to Rails again. Though I’ve worked my way through many Rails books, this is the one that finally made me “get” it. Everything is done very much “the Rails way”—a way that felt very unnatural to me before, but now after doing this book finally feels natural. The linear narrative is such a great format. Enjoy!

Derek Sivers (sivers.org) Founder, CD Baby Acknowledgments The Ruby on Rails Tutorial owes a lot to my previous Rails book, RailsSpace, and hence to my coauthor Aurelius Prochazka.
