User group and more Rails
I went to the Twin Cities .Net User group meeting last night where Jake was presenting about WPF. It was really interesting, I haven’t had the motivation to take a look at WPF yet, it always seemed like such a commitment and I think they just recently included Visual Studio designer support, so before you had to hack the xaml in notepad or something.
After the presentation I went and had a beer with Jake and his friend Andy. While we were out, they convinced me that using Ruby on Rails on a windows machine isn’t tough if you’re not trying to use FastCGI, so I’ll give it another shot soon. I also want to try out RIDE-ME to see if it’s really makes the Rails experience easier, we’ll see how it goes.

Thanks Ben! It was awesome seeing you there and having a drink / bite to eat afterwards…
Give RIDE-ME a shot, see what you like and what you dont like… you DO happen to know one of the core guys on the team now, so things can be changed for you

I’ve been using my friend Brian Hogan’s Eclipse for Rails for my Rails work on Windows, and it’s worked great. I deploy to a Linux server, but all my development happens locally. You may want to check it out - I haven’t tried RIDE-ME, but I may take a look at it now that I’ve learned about it.

[…] I mentioned awhile ago that I was going to give Rails another shot. I installed ruby, Rails, and RIDE-ME shortly thereafter and it was very easy, just as promised […]
