Christopher Giroir Ruby: Why We Love It
The Language Tools
Basics
Overview
Inspired by Smalltalk (which I love)
Also draws from Perl, Eiffel, Ada and LISP
Includes a REPL
Built for developers as a language they would love to use
Dynamic, strict, reflective, object oriented
Everything is an expression (even statements)
Everything is executed imperatively (even declarations)

Why Bundler?

They do have gem dependencies
Easy way to install and keep track of these dependencies
Making sure ONLY the proper gems are used

Using Bundler
1 # Install the gems from the Gemfile
2 bundle install

In your ruby code
1 require "rubygems"

When you initially install versions are saved to Gemfile.lock
After they are only updated on bundle update
SHOULD be checked into version control

Why RVM?
Different projects might use different versions of rails
Different projects might use different ruby interpreters

Rubinus
While bundler helps, complete gem isolation is better!
It’s nice to keep your system ruby separate and not update it

.rvmrc
A .rvmrc file per project allows you to say which ruby and
gemset to use
Should be in source control. Helps RVM users out, ignored for
others
It’s a shell script that’s executed everytime you cd (very
unsafe)
Makes life very easy however!
