It’s no secret that the entire Ruby on Rails core team uses OS X as their preferred development environment. Because of this, it is very easy to find authoritative information on the web about using Rails on OS X. But the truth is that Windows developers using Rails probably outnumber those using other platforms. A Windows development environment can be just as productive as any other platform. This is a guide to developing with Ruby on Rails under Windows. It won’t teach you how to write Ruby on Rails web applications, but it will show you what tools to use and how to set them up to create a complete Rails development environment.
I quickly scanned the content of this 60-page book. This is fairly useful for me, who is starting to learn Windows and Ruby on Rails. Just scanning made me think that Macs are better on Ruby on Rails development. But, there are people who want to use Mac at work, but they can’t simply get the permission from their boss. And, unfortunately, I will be the one of them.
