SapphireSteel Software has just launched a new version of Ruby In Steel (The Text Edition) complete with a copy of Visual Studio 2008 for an all-in price of $49. It has Ruby and RHTML/ERb editing and debugging and is hosted in Visual Studio which also includes an HTML designer, JavaScript IntelliSense, a Macro IDE etc. Feature highlights of the Text Edition include: - code colouring/folding (Ruby/ERb) - Auto expand snippets (Ruby/ERb) plus snippet editor - Bracket and keyword matching - Code formatting tools - Integrated debugging with step into/over/ watch variables and ¡Ædrill-down¡Ç - Customization with alternative colour schemes - Integrated command prompt and docked interactive Ruby and IRB consoles - All in one setup program to install Visual Studio, Ruby, Ruby In Steel, Rails and MySQL - Comprehensive documentation and integrated help The principal differences between the Text and the Developer Editions are that only the Developer Edition has full IntelliSense and our ultra-fast ¡ÆCylon¡Ç debugger (the Text Edition has a slower Ruby-based debugger).
