Its been 10 days since i have updated my blog…hmmmm was busy with ruby on rails,….learnt a lot in it…now another new stuff…its Python what else i would be working on…i struck my head so many times before….working on python web scripting..i was not satisfied or i was bit lazy of not making it good…but now i have found what i exactly wanted…Django a web framework for python…DONT REPEAT YOURSELF(DRY) is what all latest programmers and hackers are working on….Django gives a cutting edge in this….WOW…i am just starting with DRY concepts its cooool…ok lets get to business as always it is trying python in linux is easy because python comes with most of the linux distros….Django we have to download the latest .tar file and get started…its easy… but in windows its not the same…
Windows saga….
1: First download python from activestate website
2: install it
3: try your hand on the shell for sometime…try some basic examples so
you could get familiar with python…even if u dont install python its
not a problem
4: Now we need not necessarily download Django ffrom django
site…what else for windows…???
5: Go for Instant-Django….its excellent…this also has python 2.6 in it…
6: Just install or extract it and click on the “start.bat”…this sets the
default paths…
7: And what uuuuu rrrrrr on….Djangooooo…..start experiencing it….
8: For download just search instant django..
9: For reference http://www.djangoproject.com and http://www.djangobook.com
10: The saga ends….
ok…i have to explore more….but in my next blog…will explain clearly on models…views…blah…blah…blah….
One last thing…power of open source rocksssss……
bye

Ruby on rails… i started of with a one_click_installer…which installs ruby easily just like a setup…but after that we have to download and install rails using gem…this also i did….after installing there started my journey towards web development using Ruby on Rails….but had a problem, i was able to develop smaller and simple pages. I almost forgot that i had to use databases again i installed MySQl…ruby comes with a built in support of Sqlite…but i am not well versed in it so i installed mysql then modified the yaml file and then it was fine…one thing to remember is ruby runs on webrick server which is an inbuilt server. The biggest problem in webrick is we have to make the server run in one command prompt which should not be closed, even if u close it accidently server will be down….i needed a normal server which would always be running…one and only choice was apache…but i had trouble installing and working with ruby…..what do i do…i need ruby, rails, mysql and apache running at a single point of time…
Instant Rails…i came across this application which is more easy and excellent to use…this has apache server, mysql, ruby and rails….this even comes with phpmyadmin for mysql database….this is similar to easy_php which has phpmyadmin for mysql, mysql, apache and php….this is a superb solution rather i would say its ann innovation….this is completely an standalone…just a zipped folder….unzip it and run the InstantRails.exe and you are on….no dependency on any stuff….everything is the folder….now i have started working on my ambitious application…after experimenting smaller stuffs….anyway in the coming days you will hear more on ruby on rails from meeeeeeeee…!!!!!!!!!!!
One big fact…. running and configuring Ruby on Rails(RoR) in any linux is easy…. i tried in mandriva,redhat and opensuse..it was cool…but windows is what i have explained from top…..
