configuring environments

Just finished installing and configuring

  • Instant Rails
  • MySQL Tools
  • Notepad++
  • FileZilla
  • Smart Draw
on both machines (2A, 2B) in the EIE 417 labs.

It seems like Instant Rails works well in Windows and that will be chosen platform to work on. Runs Mongrel behind Apache because apparently Apache is hard to configure and everything is done for you in Instant Rails.

Chose Notepad++ as the ruby editor as well because Aptana doesn't have colour for ruby code (or at least I can't figure out how to do configure it).

FileZilla will be used to transfer files for backup onto our diesel account.

Smart Draw will be used to draw software diagrams.
