Tem um screencast sobre ele que eu acho que vai explicar melhor do que poderia esse humilde lacáio. Confira!

The first thing to do was move of terminal emulator. The choosen was the iTerm. iTerm is a full featured terminal emulator fully written in Cocoa with some cool features that aren't present in default Terminal.

iTerm have a lot of nice things, but mine favorite is your capability of open in fullscreen by default, this is amazing because, as i've a second display and i can open the iTerm in fullscreen in one display and use the other to browse and make other things.

Other thing that i'm dating to a long time is the ZSH. ZSH is in short words a interactive unix command prompt, that is a evolution of old Bash and that brings a lot of new features that doing your day to day in front of one black screen much more pleasant. Snow Leopard (not know if Leopard also have) already coming with the ZSH and you don't need install anything to start to use it.

Together with ZSH, i'm using a package created by Robby Russell called oh-my-zsh. This package of scripts (and themes) have everything you'd probably write manually in the next days using the your new shell.

One other change that i did was use Homebrew in replacement to Macports how my official package manager and it use exclusively the RVM to manage all Ruby versions at my system.

This are some screenshots of iTerm with ZSH and the oh-my-zsh.

A little trick to enable ZSH only in iTerm is create a new bookmark (cmd+shift+b) and add the "/bin/zsh" in the end of command as shown in image bellow.

For more info about ZSH follow the @zshtips in Twitter or give a look in the screencasts series (Hello ZSH) in Fosscasts (free) or in PeepCode (paid) screencasts about Advanced Command Line.

Happy hacking.

Tenho certeza que serão reuniões incrivelmente ricas com muito bate-bato, troca de experiências e choop. Espero ver todos vocês lá.

Para mais informações sobre os próximos encontros ou os que já se passaram, visitem o site do RailsMG e confira a agenda de reuniões.

Está chegando a hora de botar o pé na estrada (mesmo que seja só até o aeroporto ), para quem não sabe, sábado acontece o Ruby + Rails no Mundo Real 2010, um evento promovido pelo Guru-SP em conjunto com a Tempo Real eventos. Esse ano o  evento promete, pois conta com vários palestrantes atuantes na comunidade Ruby brasileira, que conhecem não só de tecnologia, mas também de mercado.

Além de participar do evento espero poder visitar alguns amigos e jogar uma boa conversa fora. Se você vai nos vemos lá.

Apesar de ainda novo, parece que já existem aplicações na AppStore desenvolvidas em Rhodes, mas que ainda não foram aceitas.

Não espere o bonde passar, confira este tutorial que mostra como criar uma aplicação usando o Rhodes, as especificações e a pagina do projeto no Github.

But if you isn't so crazy like me and is asking yourself, What fuck this man is talking about? Use the Soes?. Take a coffee, i'm talking about Shoes a awesome multi-platform GUI framework than allow create a GUI to your application using ruby, this isn't amazing? (and vicing too). Check out this and this tutorials, to get start and become a zombie like me

Have a nice GUI development.

On this weekend i read a interview with Yukihiro Matsumoto the creator of the ruby language, for Bill Venners in Artima.

On this interview, Matz, talk about the ruby design and philosophy, talk yet about the question than has motivated hot comments on this last weeks at several blogs around the world; ruby imperfections. Take a look on this interveiw (part I), than shown be very enlightening.

This post is pointed to my readers, than already they heard about Ruby and aren't motivated to start. 

To some months behind, Fabio Akita (Ruby, Rails and Git Brazilian evangelist and now Merb i think) posted at your blog, something than he myself called of Micro Tutorial de Ruby (in portuguese), a articles series sliced at 3 parts, where it show us a bit of the ruby magic.

If is interested at getting start with ruby, not leave of give a look.

Hi people, agile development frameworks, has gained in the last years many followers around of the world, almost all are using Rails . Well, Rails use Ruby how your main language and isn't questionable your success and your penetration in the web development market today.

I hear in the last months about a new framework for agile development, your name is Merb, a framework also based in Ruby language, but, with another methodology, more -simple- easy than Rails.

The first version of Merb delayed more than the planned, but the version 1.0 was released to some months. If has interested you, i'd like say than Ruby Learning, release the subscriptions to a new online course, fully dedicated for Merb and you can get more information in the course page.
