My RoR efforts have culminated in JiggyMe, check it out!

I get this warning message every time I run Ruby, “Warning: require_gem is obsolete. Use gem instead.”

To get rid of the warning message, change this line in boot.rc
require_gem “rails”, “=#{rails.gem.version.version}”
to
gem “rails”, “=#{rails.gem.version.version}”

I read somewhere that this will be fixed in the next release of Rails. I am using Ruby 1.8.5 and Rails 1.2.1. To find out your Ruby version run “ruby -v”. To find out your Rails version, you guessed it, run “rails -v”. Oh and I am using RadRails 0.7.2 as my editor. I tried JEdit first but I like RadRails better. While RadRails is a usable IDE, it is a far cry from Visual Studio, just doesn’t have the same level of support in terms of features, integration, documentation, etc but I am not complaining because it is FREE!

Remember that I am doing the development on Windows, so unless explicitly stated, the blog pertains to my experience using Windows. I did successfully setup RoR on Linux using VMWare with lighttpd and MySQL. When I am done with the initial development, I will port it over to Linux for deployment.
