Josh, If you're wanting to deploy a Ruby app to Windows desktops then you might look at Shoes or jRuby (as others suggested): http://www.slideshare.net/anisniit/jruby-15867973 http://www.slideshare.net/anisniit/jruby-15867973http://www.slideshare.net/anisniit/jruby-15867973 For web apps...what everyone else said, but if you're adventurous you might look at Ironpython and Ironruby: https://github.com/IronLanguages Jason https://github.com/IronLanguages-- Original message -- From: Jonathan Rochkind Date: 10/01/2013 7:04 PM To: CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU; Subject:Re: [CODE4LIB] Ruby on Windows So, when my desktop workstation was Windows, i developed ruby by actually running it on a seperate box which was a linux box. I'd just ssh in for a command line, and I used ExpanDrive[1] to mount the linux box's file system as a G:// drive on Windows, so I could still edit files there with the text editor of my choice. So it barely mattered that it was a separate machine, right? Even if it had somehow been on my local machine, I'd still be opening up some kind of shell (whether CMD.exe or more likely some kind of Cygwin thing) to start up my app or run the automated tests etc. It's a window with a command line in it, what does it matter if it's actually running things on my local machine, or is a putty window to a linux machine? So, if you don't have a separate linux machine available, you might be able to do something very similar using VirtualBox[2] to run a linux machine in a VM on your windows machine. With VirtualBox, you can share file systems so you can just open up files 'in' your linux VM on your Windows machine. There's probably a way to ssh into the local linux VM, from the Windows host, even if the linux VM doesn't have it's own externally available IP address. It would end up being quite similar to what I did, which worked fine for me for many years (eventually I got an OSX box cause I just like it better, but my development process is not _substantially_ different). But here's the thing, even if you manage to do actual Windows ruby development without a linux VM... assuming you're writing a web app... what the heck are you going to actually deploy it on? If you're planning on deploying it on a Windows server, I think you're in for a _world_ of hurt; deploying a production ruby web app on a Windows server is going to be much _more_ painful than getting a ruby dev environment going on a Windows server. And really that's not unique to ruby, it's true of just about any non-Microsoft interpreted/virtual-machine language, or compiled language not supported by Microsoft compilers. There are reasons that almost everyone running non-MS languages deploys on linux (and a virtuous/viscious circle where since most people deploy on linux, most open source deployment tools are for linux). If you really have to deploy on a Windows server, you should probably stick to MS languages. Or, contrarily, if you want to develop in non-MS languages, you should find a way to get linux servers into your infrastructure.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Ruby on Windows
To summarize options: - Linux VM in VirtualBox (ubuntu, fedora, centOS, etc.) - Groovy (dynamic JVM language) is an excellent cross-platform option, one I use daily. Especially if you are coming from a Java background. The Groovy web framework comparable to rails is Grails. Packaging in Ruby is one of the worst downsides of an otherwise compelling language, and getting it onto Windows is more than I would bother with. If you are doing Groovy, I'd still develop it on linux (for ease of integration with various documentation and tutorials, and of course personal preference). --Joe On Tue, Oct 1, 2013 at 5:13 PM, Joshua Welker wel...@ucmo.edu wrote: I'm using Windows 7 x64 SP1.

[CODE4LIB] NISO/DCMI Webinar: Metadata for Public Sector Administration
***Please excuse the cross-posting*** === NISO/DCMI Webinar: Metadata for Public Sector Administration PRESENTER: Makx Dekkers Stijn Goedertier DATE: October 30, 2013 TIME: 1:00pm - 2:30pm Eastern (17:00-18:30 UTC) World Clock: http://bit.ly/19EvBJe INFORMATION REGISTRATION: http://www.niso.org/news/events/2013/dcmi/publicsector/ === ABOUT THE WEBINAR: One key challenge for e-Government programs around the world has been the lack of easily accessible information about the metadata schemas, controlled vocabularies, code lists, and other reference data that provide interoperability among a broad diversity of data sources. The Asset Description Metadata Schema [1] was developed for exchanging information about such interoperability assets. The schema was developed with support from the European Commission with the objective of facilitating interoperability across eGovernment programmes in Europe, but it is already proving its usefulness in a wider context, for example to describe specifications maintained by DCMI and W3C. One key implementation of ADMS is in a federation of semantic asset repositories on the Joinup server [2]. Libraries that collect government information will benefit if such information is based on a set of commonly used schemas, vocabularies and code lists, making it easier to aggregate information from multiple sources. This webinar introduces the ADMS schema and discusses examples of its implementation. ABOUT THE SPEAKERS: Makx Dekkers has been the editor in the development and consensus process for ADMS. He is an independent information professional who has been working in areas of information management, metadata and interoperability for more than three decades. After a career start in library and information networking and international cooperation, he became the Managing Director at DCMI in 2001, a position he held until 2011. Since then, he has been involved with projects concerning interoperability in the areas of Open Government Data and Public Sector information. Stijn Goedertier, Manager at PriceWaterhouseCoopers Belgium, is a key participant in the ADMS project. REGISTRATION: Registration is per site (access for one computer) and closes at 12:00 pm Eastern (16:00 UTC) on October 30, 2013. Discounts are available for NISO and DCMI members and students.

The main reason is that I want to remove the dependency on the PEAR Structures_LinkedList package, which is also beta, and also written by me. Several PHP point releases ago, native linked lists were (finally) added; I had a branch that cut over to native linked lists and passed most of the tests, but got distracted by a cat video online or something and never got to that finish line. I have a bit of a crazy weekend coming up, but tell you what: next week I'll resurrect that branch and see if I can cut a 1.0 release. Seeing tangible interest from the community is good motivation :) First step: I have removed the dependency on Structures_LinkedList in favour of the native SplDoublyLinkedList. All tests are passing, and I think I closed a few long-standing corner cases as well... Per PEAR rules, I have pushed File_MARC 0.8.0 beta. If a few hardy souls could give this a shot with their own applications and let me know if it all looks good, then I'll proceed with 1.0 stable on Friday.
