You cannot run RubyCocoa on an iPhone, but you can use it for your unit testing of your Objective-C classes. This tutorial shows you how to get started. Project at http://github.com/drnic/rbiphonetest/ NOTE: the project has been renamed to 'rbiphonetest' and not 'iphoneruby' as in the video.

Test-driven design is probably more popular in the Ruby community than in other language communities. Nevertheless, test-driven design of graphical user interfaces is still seen as something of a black art. In this talk, I’ll demonstrate how to test-drive a Mac GUI, using either RubyCocoa or MacRuby. I’ll concentrate on opening a File Chooser, then move to drag-and-drop (if there&rs...

Seattle.rb Rocks would cover a number of side projects developed by Seattle.rb members in a lightning-talk-like format. Individual presentations would run for roughly ten minutes, and at least the following individual presentations would be given: Phil Hagelberg will talk about Bus Scheme, which is a Scheme implementation that is implemented (mostly) on the bus. Phil will explore what it's like...

Everyone wants to develop Cocoa in Ruby. It can create awesome Mac apps. But you need to develop in Objective-C. Which is not so pretty. However, they both share some of the same concepts and ideas. RubyCocoa exists, but it's a bridge. So conversion is happening and that is slow and resource intensive. And each runtime has a different garbage collector! MacRuby interprets Ruby on the Objective-...

As of Leopard, Apple has made Ruby a first class citizen for developing desktop applications. At some point everyone has an idea for a great desktop application. With a good number of Rubyists using OS X these days I want to give an introduction to what is possible with RubyCocoa so that when that great idea shows up, they know their options. This talk introduces Ruby Cocoa, listing the major f...

Erik Kastner has put together a great tutorial showing you how to build a graphical OS X app using Ruby and RubyCocoa. For a less wordy approach, there's also a short screencast which shows you the whole process from start to finish. With the continual improvements of the RubyCocoa library, and Apple's commitment to Ruby for Cocoa development in OS X 10.5, Ruby is rapidly becoming a viable alte...
