Especially when you just begin your career as a developer.
It’s expensive, for individual license. Though it’s a good IDE, there are many weak points that may stop you from using that: The other plus point is it supports all three major operating systems: Windows, Mac, and Linux. Unlike other IDE like Netbeans or Eclipse which mainly focus is Java. Not only that, as far as I know, the RubyMine is the only IDE that focused for Ruby on Rails development. Besides, it had been around for at least seven years so you don’t need to worry about their commitment to future support and updates. It’s also intelligent like most IDE we hope too (read: autocomplete syntax). I am not sure how the details but they also give it away for teachers and students too, and for a non-profit organization.įor beginners, I admitted it helps a lot to learn to work with Rails. However, if you’re running open source project, they offered it for free. For individual use, you’ll have to pay $89 per year for the IDE only. It’s very helpful as a beginner to work with such intelligent IDE (just like its tagline) I don’t remember well, but some people in the company can get it for all of us. Thus, that can be the best for yours too, my fellow Rails developer.ĭuring my earliest year as Rails developer, when I still work as an in-house developer on a local web development house, I use this RubyMine IDE.
I found some of them are the best for my need as a Rails developer.
During these seven years quests, I stumbled upon many IDE for Ruby on Rails. I have been working with Ruby on Rails since 2012.
