If you already pay attention to the IronRuby dev group and are on the distribution list, apologies for the dupe. I’ve just got back from a camping trip and rifling through all my emails now. I checked in on the IronRuby group and noticed a new project emerging from someone. It’s from Ivan Porto Carrero and he calls it IronNails. It was previously called something else (quite frankly I liked the other name better myself) but there was already a project named after his chosen name. ...

For my book IronRuby I'm working on chapter 4. That chapter is about doing WPF development with IronRuby. I started out with a straight port of Witty to IronRuby. As I was doing that the cogs started turning and I came up with a way to bring the rails style of development to WPF. I decided to investigate that route a little bit further and now I have a small framework that enables you to write WPF applications with the MVC paradigm. I decided to open that code up as open source and host it on github. ...

OSCON is a happy place for me. It’s my third OSCON, and I created good memories at each one. At my first OSCON, I was showing off RubyCLR to the world, and I met some folks from Microsoft who convinced me that it was the right time in my life to go ship something big. At my second OSCON, I was working for The Man, and we announced that were accepting contributions into IronRuby – a big change at the time. Today, we’re raising the bar even higher in IronRuby. There are three changes happening today: 1. We’re shipping our first binary release . In this package, we’re taking a “batteries included” approach and shipping the Ruby standard libraries in it. This takes us a big step closer towards “IronRuby runs real Ruby programs”. 2. We’re announcing a new project: IronRuby-contrib . It’s hosted at GitHub , an awesome place to do collaborative development. The goal of IronRuby-contrib is to provide a place where folks from the community can participate in projects that enhance IronRuby or its underlying platforms. The first project in IronRuby-contrib is the Rails plugin that we demonstrated at RailsConf this year. It makes it easier for Rails developers to add Silverlight to their Rails applications, and contains some of our ideas about migrating controller code to the client. Jimmy Schementi is the brains behind the project; see his introductory blog post for more details. 3. We’re announcing that we’ve submitted our first set of changes ...

UPDATE: I had the chance to talk with Ivan about IronNails.  Please read the interview over on InfoQ . As we see IronRuby make progress within Microsoft, we are also seeing new projects pop-up as well.  One such project I have noticed and wanted to share is IronNails , created and opensourced by Ivan Porto Carrero .  IronNails brings IronRuby and Silverlight together implementing an MVC pattern, much like Ruby on Rails . IronNails ========= IronNails is a framework inspired by the Rails and rucola frameworks. It offers a rails-like way of developing applications with IronRuby and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). This framework uses the pattern Model - ViewModel - View - Controller (M-VM-V-C). It should be able to run on both WPF and Silverlight. The idea is that the views can be created using a design tool like Blend for example and just save that xaml as is. The designer should not need to use anything else than drag and drop to create a GUI design. The behaviors are then added to the view by using predefined behaviors in the framework or by defining your own behavior. The framework then generates a proxy for the view which will be used to transparently wire up the commands in the behaviors to controller actions. IronNails is in its infancy and is showing some good promise.   Follow the announcement on Ivan's blog for more details and future updates.

Click here to view the entire IronRuby via C# series Welcome back for part 5 in my learning Ruby via C# series. In this post I want to cover hashes (or associative arrays) and arrays in Ruby. These two data structures are used quite often in Ruby, and so we are going to spend a little bit of time going over them. But first I want to clear up some mistakes that I made in the first post of the series. In the first post I had explained what attribute accessors were and I showed a class that looked like this: class Person attr_accessor :count @@count2 = 0 def count2 @@count2 end def count2(value) @@count2 = value end end Well, that isn't exactly correct. Well, I was trying to show static variables in Ruby and I wanted to show the static version of "attr_accessor". The first item I wanted to clear up is that I used instance method in this class because we had yet to cover static methods. This was done on purpose, but I wanted to show it as static now. The second thing is that you can do this in a shortened manner using the cattr_accessor method. The "c" stands for "class" since Ruby calls these "class variables and methods" and not "static". The only problem is that this is part of ActiveSupport and not the standard Ruby libraries. ActiveSupport is a library of helper methods for Ruby on Rails, and currently has some issues running under IronRuby so I am not going to use it for now. The second thing that I wanted to clear up, which actually ...

Last week I went to Thailand Next Web App and joined in a Rails session. They had a talk and discussed about running Rails in production. Of course, JRuby, Glassfish and other Ruby implementation including IronRuby were mentioned. Then I was asked about it because I was the only .NET guy there. At that time, I didn’t follow the IronRuby for a long time so I replied them that no one other than John Lam and Phil Haacked have used the IronRuby. Few days ago, while I read the feed about asp.net, I found an open source IronRuby project that aims to help developer implement WPF/Silverlight in rails-like fashion. And that’s mean we, the developers, now can use IronRuby. After some googling, I’ve recalled that IronRuby, like IronPython, is part of the Microsoft Dynamic Language Runtime. They both are released with full source under Microsoft Public License(MS-PL) . Though the source code of IronRuby is hosted on RubyForge and IronPython is on the CodePlex , the license doesn’t mention that they’re open source projects. However, the IronRuby libraries are tended to be open source and are opened to receive the contributions. From the IronRuby home page, the implementation still does not pass the RubySpecs and can only dispatch some Rails requests. That’s mean it still cannot be used to host a Rails application. But you can utilize .NET framework and create an application with it, like IronNails. If you want to give it a try, you have to compile ...
