Ruby on Rails

For those who are trying to install Ruby on Rails on Debian(in my case 3.1 STABLE), you will notice that your application will show a blank page and the following error on the WEBrick web server in dev/development.log:

 
MissingSourceFile (no such file to load -- irb):
(...)

You must install the following packages:

apt-get install ruby1.8-dev
apt-get install irb
apt-get install libncurses5-dev libreadline5-dev

Others that have popped up include MonoRail for .NET & Mono, Subway for Python, Trails for Java, Catalyst and Maypole for Perl. In the context of all these rails derivatives, this article on “Could Rails have been built without Ruby?” is an interesting read. [source]

For PHP we have also cake and biscuit.

10m setup video

The meaning of Hype in The Probert Encyclopaedia is Hype is Black-American slang for “a deception”. But the same word in the Michael J. Motto Advertising - Selected Glossary means Extreme promotion of a person, idea, or product.

Either way, the 10m setup video in the official site of ruby on rails is quite impressive and looks promising.
