Motivation:

This system is intended to be used by American high school students with little or no programming experience and ZERO Linux system administration experience. A seasoned developer will find this setup too simplistic since many of the tools that a proficient Ruby developer relies on but which might confuse a novice Rubyist have been omitted.

Here are some pain points encountered when novice developers where initiated using a “typical” Linux-based development system:

• Explaining the need for Bundler & RVM/rb-env drastically increased the learning curve.
• Editors like emacs and vi were too esoteric for novice developers.
• Choosing Heroku & PostgreSQL permitted us to simply “gloss over” the deployment process.

I was recently forced to press my old Windows desktop system into an emergency Rails development platform. During a recent Cincinnati Ruby Brigade meeting a new member who was running Windows would have benefited from a minimalist guide to installing Ruby on Rails on Windows.

Thanks to All About Ruby for providing a starting point for my research for this post.

Nota Bene: These instructions are Windows XP specific. If you're using another flavor of Windows YMMV.

Install Ruby

1. Download the One-Click Ruby Installer for Windows.
2. Run the installer. I unchecked the option to install the SciTE text editor which saved a whopping 1.5MB of storage.

Hello QC Mergers!

I hope you're as psyched about the event as we are. More work has gone into putting it all together than we expected when we began planning seven months ago but we think you'll agree that it has been worth it.
