Sublime Text 2

Although you're free to use any editor we recommend Sublime. Here's how to get the most out of it

Setting up

Once you've installed Sublime there's a few things you should do to get things set up properly:

Package Control

maker-leo

{
  "env":{
      "PATH":"${HOME}/.rvm/bin:${PATH}"
  },
  "cmd": ["rvm-auto-ruby", "$file"],
  "file_regex": "^(...*?):([0-9]*):?([0-9]*)",
  "selector": "source.ruby"
}

maker-leo

{
  // This is the ruby default
  "tab_size": 2,
  
  // Set to true to insert spaces when tab is pressed
  "translate_tabs_to_spaces": true,
  
  // This shows all your whitespace, including spaces and tabs
  // helps keep code clean and properly indented!
  "draw_white_space": "all",

The Ruby universe

This is a brief introduction into the world of web development and Ruby. To view all the different gems listed by popularity check out the Ruby Toolbox.

Web frameworks

• Rails - the most popular, although recently has been criticised for being a bit bloated - giving you more than you often need to build a simple web site
• Sinatra - takes the opposite principal, more of a "micro framework" that starts with just enough to get you going, and you can then add Gems for more advanced stuff as and when you need it

Models

maker-leo

def vader(evil = false)
  #  guard clause
  return "something else" if evil == "luke"

  #  implicit return, last line executed
  if evil
    "i am your father and I hate you"
  else
    "i am your father and i love you"
  end

maker-leo

#  You can loop through a range
(1..10).each {|a| puts a }

first_ten = (1..10).to_a

#  You can convert it into an array
puts first_ten.inspect

puts "selecting odd numbers"

maker-leo

def do_some_maths
  puts yield(10)
  puts yield(20)
end

do_some_maths do |num|
  num * 20
end

do_some_maths do |number|

#create your own methods
#create a method with one argument, and print it out
#create a method with two arguments 
#create a method with one argument, which by default is nil
#create a method that returns two values, depending on if an argument is true or false

#take this hash, and use it to make this string. Make sure you use the hash twice, 
#and use string interpolation i.e. "A string #{variable}"

hash = {:dario => "Dario", :leo => "Leo"}
