Summary: This Wiki is intended to help build a collaborative Ruby language and implementation specification, based on the knowledge we all have gathered as Ruby language users and implementation developers. It will grow as we learn more about Ruby, and evolve as the specification of Ruby's semantics and libraries becomes more clear and more well-understood. It is hoped that this Wiki will aid not only Ruby language users, but also those implementing alternative implementations of Ruby, such as the JRuby project, the Ruby.NET project, and even those currently implementing the 1.9 and 2.0 versions of the standard C Ruby implementation.

Summary: The ruby-doc.org site is hosted and maintained by James Britt, who has been active in the Ruby community since 2001 and started this site to help other Ruby hackers. A speaker at numerous Ruby conferences and the author of various Ruby articles and applications, James is available for Ruby consulting and training.

Summary: Continuation of Rolling with Ruby on Ralis Revisited

Summary: Like the original version, this tutorial will show you how to develop a web-based, database-driven application using Ruby on Rails. Also like the original, it will not teach you how to program in Ruby. On the other hand, if you already know another object-oriented programming language, you should have no problem following along (and at the end you can find links on learning Ruby and lots more).

Summary: Maybe you've heard about Ruby on Rails, the super productive new way to develop web applications, and you'd like to give it a try, but you don't know anything about Ruby or Rails. This article steps through the development of a web application using Rails. It won't teach you how to program in Ruby, but if you already know another object-oriented programming language, you should have no problem following along (and at the end you can find links on learning Ruby). Let's answer a couple of burning questions before rolling up our sleeves to build a web application!

Summary: Let me also take a moment to introduce this site. As you’ll notice, RedHanded has five primary sections: * 5.gets: short 5-question interviews with Ruby masters. * bits: short bits of Ruby code for dissection or amazement. * inspect: open analysis of a concept, howtos. * the cult: how Ruby affects our lifestyle. * -h: urgent Ruby help topics.

Summary: When I started learning Ruby on Rails a little over a year ago someone in the Ruby community told me there were currently on 164 developers in the United States. Over the course of the last year that number has grown exponentially. As with many next generation technologies the challenge is how to learn it. Often times the only resources for learning are workshops, seminars, books or online tutorials and examples. This article will present the best Ruby tutorials, examples and downloads I've found over the course of the last year. I've spent numerous hours searching google, del.icio.us, digg etc.. looking for usable and relevant examples. This list only exists, because of the time and energy of the developers spent providing this information to all of us for free. If you find these tutorials and examples helpful please drop by the developers site's and let them know how much you appreciate their great work. If you know of other Ruby tutorials, examples or downloads please submit a comment or email me. Thanks!

If you get stuck, that's a good place for help, as the author hangs out in there pretty regularly. That said, some sample code is worth its weight in gold, so here's how I got a basic Rails application running. Learning Ruby A very good article on the basics of ruby. Introduction to Ruby For Perl programmers Introduction to Ruby For Mac OS X Ruby Live Grid AJAX Live Data Grid Example Historically, data sub-forms are not something that have been presented well on the web. Pop-up windows and browser page refreshing are a significant regression from the interfaces which have been provided by client/server desktop applications for over a decade. Luckily, with the advent of Rails and its partials rendering, we are in a position to do something about this usability shortfall.

I will show you have to integrate this application with your Ruby on Rails application. Integrating a Rich-text Widget with Struts The problem was straightforward, all I needed was a rich-text editor that would allow me to create XHTML that I could then send back to the client. I already had a textarea, and I just wanted a rich-text replacement. I thought this was going to be simple, but the problem cost me hours.
