If you're into this and want to try it out, go to http:www.t4editor.net and download the T4-editor from Clarius. It gives you proper editing support from within Visual Studio. They got a version for vs2003 as well. This may not be as attractive as it used to be, now that..http://weblogs.asp.net/jdanforth/archive/2008/04/23/t4-support-in-vs2008.aspx What Happened to the Rails Website- April 20, 2008 I was going to look at some of the Ruby on Rails screencasts on www.rubyonrails.org site, but someone must have forgot to pay the right amount of money in time or something :) &160; I'm sure things will be working fine by the time you read this blog post :)http://weblogs.asp.net/jdanforth/archive/2008/04/20/what-happened-to-the-rails-website.asp... Try Ruby in the Browser- April 20, 2008 There's a pretty awesome online "Ruby in your browser" tutorial that you could try. It has a built in Ruby console and everything is interactive. It's takes 15-30 minutes or so to go through, and it's good. Someone put a whole lot of effort and love into making this one for us Ruby newbies. Go check it out, but use a FireFox browser, because I couldn't make it work properly in IE in Vista. http:tryruby.hobix.comhttp://weblogs.asp.net/jdanforth/archive/2008/04/20/try-ruby-in-the-browser.aspx A .NET Guy Looking at Some Ruby (Part 2)- April 20, 2008 This is me continuing scribbling down notes as I go along relearning lost Ruby skills and at the same time comparing the Ruby syntax and way of writing code to .NET. In my previous post I very briefly went through the basics of variables, loops, iterators, conditionals and basic sorting. This post will look at classes, methods, inheritance and how to reuse Ruby code with include (require) statements. Methods Method or function declaration in Ruby is simple, perhaps even...http://weblogs.asp.net/jdanforth/archive/2008/04/20/a-net-guy-looking-at-some-ruby-part-2.... A .NET Guy Looking at Some Ruby- April 18, 2008 I&8217;m thinking it would be nice to relearn the basics of Ruby (which seems to gain more and more popularity) and compare it to some of the dynamic features .NET 3.5 has been blessed with. I&8217;m also interested in where the Microsoft version of the language, IronRuby, is now and how I can use the .NET libraries from it. I installed and looked at Rails some (long) time ago now, but I never got the chance to use it and my minimal Ruby skills have now faded to nil again. So this is me...http://weblogs.asp.net/jdanforth/archive/2008/04/18/a-net-guy-looking-at-some-ruby.aspx March 2008 TFSTeam Suite Download List- April 9, 2008 Just what I was looking for - a list of all the URLs to the VPC-parts, easy to add to a download manager.
