NetBeans Java development toolkit to offer support for Ruby development
Filed in archive Application Development on March 8, 2007
This is an announcement which reaffirms the commitment of Sun Microsystems to dynamic languages. The company has stated that its NetBeans Java development toolkit would be offering support for Ruby development. This can be regarded as encouraging news since up till now Ruby developers did not have much of IDE support and were using just plain text editors.
Now Ruby developers will be able to avail features such as navigation outline, syntax highlighting, project support and unit test execution. Also there are a number of extended features available with the pack such as pop-ups for Ruby API calls, integrated documentation, semantic analysis with parameters highlighting and unused local variables along with occurrence highlighting. There would also be additional support for development of Ruby on Rails applications.

In spite of having their own identities, Ruby language and Rails framework perfectly compliment each other and are often thought of as an inseparable unity. Actually, Ruby is the base foundation for Rails; it was built on the ground of Ruby language.
So, if you have a perfect knowledge of Ruby, you will definitely not face any problems working with Rails. However, it doesn't purport the idea that without mastering Ruby you won't be able to work on Rails. But it will greatly facilitate your understanding of the Rails code and significantly decrease the time taken to make your application go up. Thus, they both go hand in hand.
In comparison with the other programming languages and development frameworks, Ruby on Rails is a very efficient and highly beneficial way of developing successful web applications in a shorter time.
It is no wonder that Ruby has received world wide recognition and has successfully been used by programmers as an efficient development tool. ruby on rails developer
