Lesson 6: Tools for Rails Developers

The Ruby on Rails approach to application development goes beyond just your code itself; there's a variety of tools and practices that are a nearly integral part of it. These include keeping all your source code in a version control system (typically Subversion); the Rake automation tool; ri and rdoc documentation tools; and the Capistrano deployment tool; logging facilities; and the ruby-debug debugger.

No comments placed on this lesson yet so I’ll add that this lesson helped me as a newbie in understanding terms that I’ve seen before but didn’t know much about. A nice break.
