So while I wait for Apple to roll out an update to last year's Mac Book Pro (macrumors.com insists it is still not a good time to buy), I barrel forward with hacking my old Dell Dimension Celeron to provide me with a adequate Rails development environment.. I make use of Instant Rails, and Aptana. At some later date, I will switch over to the Rad Rails plugin...but for now I'm rolling along just fine. There is plenty to learn in limited time to waste on configuring my IDE. Besides, later I completely intend to begin developing with Textmate in the Mac environment.
I know it is fairly well documented around the web that some of the old 'ROR up and running' tutorials are a bit difficult to digest with the new features in in Rails 2.0. So, I wanted to document my findings. And provide links to the resources that have helped me.
Here's a couple of resources to get started:
akitaonrails.com
weblog.infoworld.com
Stay posted for more of my findings.
