Hi,

I would like to learn Merb, via Netbeans. I am not much used to
console.

Can any one point me out a tutorial how to creat small projects with
Merb, since Netbeans is still not supporting Merb officially.

I had posted a request feature for Merb support in Netbeans 6.5, but i
was informed i was late in submitting. I request The Core merb team
members to keep this in mind and post a request for Merb support in
Netbeans 6.6 or whatever it may be.

P.S.:- Do i have to install just merb 1.0 as gems or do i have to
install merb more and merb core also.

I hope tutorials with Merb 1.0 starts soon.

Thanks

Martin Frost

This is what I can find on netbeans in earlier posts in the mailing
list:

Just merb 1.0 gem should be enough, since it's a meta-gem installing
merb, datamapper and all their dependencies.

From my experience shiny IDEs that do everything for you "magically"
do not help with learning at all.
You do what you don't fully realize. I'd learn with the simplest text
editor available.

You can start writing them this very second ;)

Even though I agree to a large extent, I'm really hoping for Merb
support in Netbeans, because I've always encountered resistance when
trying to sell Ruby in any form to larger companies due to the lack of
IDE support. When I pitch Merb now, the *first* and *only* question I
often get is "which IDE do you use?".

I totally want a full Merb support in Netbeans. Especially now that we
have Matz approval ( http://merbist.com ), I feel we need to work with
IDE developers to make Merb integrations something dead easy.
