The Why Of Ruby

why ruby? cs 320

programming is fun.

you just don’t know it yet.

I was a designer. I hated programming.

my clients wanted interactive websites...

I learned Ruby in 2005 and fell in love...

want to make a desktop app that runs on Mac, Windows, and Linux?

Shoes.app do para "Item name" @name = edit_line button "Add to list" do @names.append do para @name.text end @name.text = "" end button("Clear the list") {@names.clear} @names = stack :width=>"100%", :height=>"90%" end

how about a simple iPhone-enabled site?

require 'sinatra' require 'pathname' get "/" do dir = "./files/" @links = Dir[dir+"*"].map { |file| file_link(file) }.join erb :index end helpers do def file_link(file) filename = Pathname.new(file).basename "<li><a href='#{file}' target='_self'>#{filename}</a></li>" end end use_in_file_templates! __END__ @@ index <html> <head> <meta name="viewport" content="width=320; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0; user-scalable=0;"/> <style type="text/css" media="screen">@import "/stylesheets/iui.css";</style> <script type="application/x-javascript" src="/javascripts/iui.js"></script> </head> <body> <div class="toolbar"> <h1 id="pageTitle"></h1> </div> <ul id="home" title="Your files, sir." selected="true"> <%= @links %> </ul> </body> </html>

want to make CSS easier to read and use?

@the-border: 1px; @base-color: #111; #header { color: @base-color * 3; border-left: @the-border; border-right: @the-border * 2; } #header { color: red; a{ font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; } } #footer { color: (@base-color + #111) * 1.5; }

got a great idea and want to get it out there quickly?

got a big site that’s hard to maintain?

Want to change your life?

Don’t just do something...

...do something you love to do.

...we’ll help you get there.
