Thanks for the input :) Yes I was planning of looking at the code of some of the gems and rails plugins. They may have good ideas to include in this project. I don't expect that it will take a very long time to build this thing and of course any help is much appreciated.
Exactly from POV of the DSL this project is pretty interesting because it will highlight some key differences between what you can do with a fluent interface vs a real DSL. --- Met vriendelijke groeten - Best regards - Salutations Ivan Porto Carrero Blog: http://flanders.co.nz Twitter: http://twitter.com/casualjim Author of IronRuby in Action (http://manning.com/carrero) On Thu, Oct 29, 2009 at 1:34 PM, Nathan Stults <nathan_stu...@hsihealth.com>wrote: > That’s a fun one because it involves a good opportunity to create a Ruby > DSL, which will be a good demo for a book.
