In our previous set of Videos, we have covered basics of a Web Application, MVC architecture and also basic introduction to Ruby and Rails.
In this post, we have videos which explain certain tools which can be used to speed up our development process. They are:
- Command Line
- Text Editor
- Rails & Ruby Overview
Command Line
Summary:
We use Terminal in Mac, Command prompt in Windows and X-terminal in Unix/Linux. In windows, we can access this by going to ‘Start’ button, then ‘Run’ and then type ‘cmd’. The author explains how to use Command Line to navigate between files and Rails files in particular and also to check the version of Rails installed and some commands to operate Rails from command line. It would be dealt with detail in the coming videos.
Text Editor
Summary:
The author explains the working of Text-Mate, a text editor used extensively by Programmers on Mac OS. Since I don’t use Text-Mate, I have no summary to offer 🙂 . Windows text-editors are explained in Installation of Rails on Windows videos.
Overview of Ruby and Rails
Summary:
For development on Ruby on Rails, we need Ruby Language and Rails Framework.
Ruby language is a scripting language developed by a Japanese in 1990’s. Installation of Ruby on Windows is a simple Double-click which will be dealt in detail in coming videos.
Rails framework installation is also discussed in coming videos. After its installation, Rails framework is saved in a particular file format which will also be discussed later.
Disclaimer: The Screencasts are not recorded by me. I have just embedded them from Youtube.
