Is there any IDE (event driven) for wxRuby?

Hello, I'm completely newbie to wxRuby, in fact to Ruby
language as
well, but I'm completely in love with it!!

I'm not a programmer, dunno maaaaaaaaany "technical
things" but I'm
doing my best.

I Installed wxWidgets and wxRuby, the samples files run
perfect, I was
wondering...

IS THERE ANY IDE FOR WXRUBY? something like REALbasic or
Xcode
Interface Builder, I mean, something EVENT DRIVEN, something
in which
you could drag and drop visual components of a graphic
interface and
then deal JUST with the code that a button, for example,
executes.

By the way, I'm using Mac OSX 10.4.9 (PPC)

Thanks in advance!!!.

Hey Christian,

Let me be the first to welcome you to wxRuby and Ruby in
general. It's 
going to take you a bit to learn all the things involved
with wxRuby and 
Ruby, but as you go along, you will get the hang of it. My
personal 
suggestion, on an IDE that's easy, intuitve, and works
fairly well, is 
wxGlade. It's not built in Ruby (Booo on that), but it is
very easy to 
work with. May take a bit to learn, but you should be able
to get the 
hang of it easily enough. My suggestion (as that's what I
do), is to 
create the project, and have it export the "Code"
to an XRC File. And 
XRC File is an XML Resource File, which is used by wxRuby to
create your 
windows from the file. You can create the entire window, or
just a 
portion of that window if you want. It's my personal pick
for anyone 
who's starting out learning wxWidgets in general.

Plus, it is cross-platform, and should work on any platform
that Python 
and wxPython can be installed on. With Mac OS X 10.4.9, you
should have 
a repository manager, or installer system, that allows you
to install 
packages from the internet. Try searching in that for Python
and 
wxPython. Then you can grab the wxGlade from here: 
http://wxglade.sourcef
orge.net

Good luck in your search, and may the Ruby be with you!

Hey Mario,

Finally I understood the whole concept of what wxWidgets
are, I
thought it was an IDE in itself I didn't understand the
concept of
libraries and that stuff, but now I have it clear... I
think, je je
je.

I'm using OSX 10.4.9(PPC), I already installed wxWidgets,
wxRuby and
wxPython, everything is working smoothly.

Just as you pointed out, I downloaded wxPython so I can use
wxGlade(is
up and running!!) Can you tell me a little more about ruby
scripts and
wxGlade use? (please in simple language, until last week
computers
where a magical box for me, je je je, I dunno how da' hell
my computer
is still running after compiling, building,
installing...ing, things I
didn't know before at all! je je je)

Are there any tutorials somewhere to study from and follow
step by
step explanations?

Thanks Mario, looking forward for that tutorial!
... I just started with Ruby, so dunno much about it, but
I'll do my best.

By the way, what's your website?

Hey Mario!

I really appreaciate what you are doing with the Tutorial
for wxGlade, thanks.

Also, I wanted yo ask you, is there any difference between
wxGlade and
GLADE? I mean, of course they are different pieces of
software, but
regarding the use of RUBY aren't they pretty much the same?

I downloaded Glade for my Notebook with UBUNTU Linux(now I'm
trying to
run it on my desktop G5 via MACPORTS) and did some
practices, it seems
to be more "intuitive" than wxGlade. Maybe I'm
mistaking completely,
but just wanted to know.

Best regards, Chris.

Hey Mario!

Thanks for the tutorial, so far everything clear, keep up
with it!
