Ruby without commandline?

[cancer10]

Hello

I come from a PHP background. I have been using frameworks )(Zend, cakephp) since years.

I am planning to learn Ruby. I want to make a small project in it but was wondering if its possible to make the project without using a command line. Every tutorial I read on the internet explains how to run your ruby code using command line. In Zend or cakephp, we have the option to either use the command line or download the framework library from their respective website and start using your favourite IDE and start coding.

1) Is this also possible in Ruby?

2) Can I download the framework library and start coding using Netbeans etc?

3) Is there any (step-by-step) tutorial available for the same?


Any help will be highly appreciated.


Many thanks


PS: FYI - I use Ubuntu 9.04 with apache 2.2

If you don't want to work in the command line then I would stay away from Ruby and focus on an alternative language.

While I don't work in Ruby, you may want to take a look here:

What is the process of deployment of a Ruby on Rails application on a webserver?

Is it the same as Any PHP Framework, or is there any extra settings needed?
