Rake is like "make" for Ruby. It's basically a task runner that can manage dependencies between tasks. RubyGems (gem) is a Ruby package manager similar to apt-get, homebrew, macports, fink etc. It's used to install, update and manage Ruby packages. These packages are referred to as "gems." -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
