Questions: J1/ What's a good development environment? - Webrick, Unicorn, etc? And a basic Gemfile (e.g. conditionally include ruby-debug, switch Rack to 1.2.4 (or am I alone in getting crashes when I use 1.2.5?)) with all the core bits, and a commented section with the "extras" like the jquery stuff that Bryan has published. So... "install rvm, install ruby 1.9.2, update gem, install rails 3.0.11, install hobo 1.3, edit Gemfile, run bundle install, set gemset... now you can start to make new hobo projects". "add jquery, add ..." and now you can tackle some more complex projects. And the regular set of checks on ruby version, gem version, gems, rails versions, hobo versions; how to keep up to date and how to freeze for production environments.
J2/ Are there any editors that cope with DRYML? e.g. TextMate/emacs/vi etc? J3/ What about security? After the latest mass assignment kerfuffle, what needs to be done to make Hobo resistant to simple attack? J4/ What's a good development cycle? e.g. As I was learning, I've found that it paid to do a 'hobo g migration' pretty much anytime I'd changed a file. Eventually I've worked out when I *should* do a "hobo g migration", but I wasn't doing it enough to start with and that caused silly problems. J5/ What do you need to know about Rails to get started, and where do you find out more about Rails (and why you'll need to do so)? J6/ What real websites have been put together with Hobo? J7/ What's the difference between Datamapper and Hobo Fields, and can I use both? J8/ Can Hobo work with legacy databases, and how? J9/ How do I pass back an extra field from a form? That's my group of questions :) I think I can now answer your question 1, in simple language. I can answer some of the questions I've raised, I think... I can probably write reasonably useful answers to J9, possibly J1, J4. The other questions are partly my experience, and I've been introducing a few other people to Hobo and have been listening to their problems... Document? Or is this really another web app, with a summary page? Preferably with community voting a la the stackoverflow type models? Cheers, JeremyC.
