Introduction Since I come from statically typed language the next thing to look for are interfaces. An interface in .Net is more or less a contract or a way to make multiple inheritance possible whatever you like. There are people who can explain it better than me.. And there is always Google. But if you look for interfaces in ruby you will not find them. Because you just don’t need them.

Introduction In my previous post I used classes and used getters and setters like we did in the good old Java days. But as Jak Charlton (Thanks for all his help). pointed out there are other ways to do the getter-setter thing in Ruby. Accessors First of all there are accessors . I think an accessor is like an automatic property in .Net. In Ruby the accessors like in VB.

Introduction I am on my way to learn Ruby (my way). So I randomly try out things I think I might need or think that seem important to me. I try not to look at books to much because I learn best from making mistakes, if you do everything right the first time you probably have no idea what will happen if you do it wrong. I also try to write tests for everything and see what exceptions I get and why I get them.

Introduction As you might have read I had a little problem with my first test and rubymine. It ran the test but it did complain and did not show the pretty results I like and want. The problem Of course it says how to solve it but not really clearly. Please install ‘test-unit’ gem and activate it on runtime. The solution I kind of found the solution here.

Introduction In my previous posts I told you how I installed ruby and how I wrote my first test. As a reaction to my posts Jak Charlton told me to try IRB or Ruby interactive mode. And he told me to read Ruby in twenty minutes. And being a good boy, I did. First of all To be honest, this line was kind of cryptic to me. If you’re using Windows, open fxri from the Ruby section of your Start Menu.

Introduction I am learning myself Ruby not because I need to but just because I can. In my first post I showed you my setup that I will be using for now. And I got hello world working. Now I want to write a test to see that my output is what it is supposed to be. The problems In encountered a few problems when trying to make my test work.

Introduction I guess it is time for me to learn Ruby and see what all the fuss is about. Here is how I got it installed and how I got a first little scribble done. The IDE First thing to do is look for an IDE since those things always make your life easier, or maybe not. But at least it’s a quick way to get going, or maybe not.

I’ve gone to The Dark Side: I took a PowerShell class. I’ve started writing new scripts and replacing old VBscripts. Was it scary? Terrifying. Learning a new language – programming or speaking – is never easy. Do I know everything? Not even close. I know how to get help (get-help – get it? harharhar…), and who to ask for help. One of the biggest obstacles for me was figuring out the punctuation and syntax in PowerShell.

Introduction So after solving the little bug with regards to fluent security and VB.Net I now can try out fluent security. How it works So now that I have it working I needed to find out how it works. My first attempt was to make the About Function in the Homecontroller only accessible for logged in users. Yes I know this seems illogical but who cares about that anyway.

Introduction I like most fluent frameworks, especially if they prevent the use of attributes. In essence there is nothing wrong with attributes but they kind of violate SRP. With fluent-security you can avoid that and keep the security code in separate files. I did not see any VB.Net examples so I will post some here. The beginning First I had to install MVC 3 ;-), I swear I’m ashamed.
