The Why Of Ruby

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?

...do something you
love to do.
