would be great if someone (e.g. Roman...hint hint) could put some more screencasts together on using Netbeans from a Ruby perspective. There seems to be more shortcuting, re-factoring etc support that would be great to be captured in a series of screencasts. If not now then for the NB6 release.
ReplyDeleteOne thing that's great with Ryan's screencasts (http://railscasts.com/) are the way you get to see the key combinations he uses in the top-right during the screencast. This would be great for the Netbeans screencasts too.
Cheers

I have to agree with GregH... Netbeans screencasts would be GREAT!... I'm new to the Ruby world and it's been over 5 years since I've used Netbeans...(still working with homesite 5 (for hmtl) and editpad).. so it would be great so seen some screen casts building sample apps, unit testing, etc... i look forward to diving back into Netbeans.. hopefully i can find my way around..

Hi Tor. I wonder how hard can it be to implement a new syntax highligter.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm sure the answer will be no, but... :) ¿can i import a syntax highliter from eclipse to netbeans?
I'm looking for a way to highlite haml, a markup language for rails. (http://groups.google.com/group/haml/files has an eclipse hiliter for haml)
If is not very simple, i could be on my way just telling netbeans to edit haml files as they where rhtml. Is there any way i could configure that behavior in netbeans?
Thank you!
