Developing Rails Applications on Leopard: Part I
(Tue Mar 04, 2008) [/Rails] #
My latest Apple Developer Connection article, titled Developing Rails Applications on Mac OS X Leopard, is the first in a three-part series on Rails. It takes you through how to build a basic RESTful app using Rails 2.0.2 and XCode.
Parts II and III go beyond the basics to customize the application and deploy it on Leopard Server. They've already been written, and they should be available soon.
This series has been a long time in the making, and I'm delighted that it's finally available. It's a major update to the Tiger version of the article. Leopard comes with a bunch of pre-installed goodies to help you start building (and deploying!) Rails applications without a lot of fuss. And although I still use TextMate, it's great to see Rails support making its way into XCode 3.0. Even if you're a Rails pro, you may want to follow this series to see what Leopard brings to the party.
