This included installing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sqlite.org\/download.html\">SQLite<\/a> and then using gem to install the SQLite bindings. Finally I used gem to install Rails. All very straight forward.<\/p>\n<p>Next I downloaded from <a href=\"http:\/\/eclipse.org\">http:\/\/eclipse.org<\/a> the latest Eclipse Java IDE (3.6 Helios) for MS 32-bit Windows. My current Java is 1.6.0_24 so that should be OK. I renamed my old 3.2 Eclipse directory to C:\\eclipse_OLD_3.2 and I installed the new one by unzipping it into my C: drive on Windows as the C:\\eclipse directory. When I started it up I pointed it to my old workspace C:\\EclipseWorkspace. Then I updated it to include both the C\/C++ and Ruby development support. I know that the Agile book doesn&#8217;t use an IDE, but I just wanted to try it.<\/p>\n<p>I also made a small donation to Eclipse.org to become a <a href=\"http:\/\/eclipse.org\/indigo\/friends.php\">Friends of Eclipse<\/a> which I feel I am. Even though it enables me to get an early copy of the next release, Indigo, I did it because I&#8217;ve been a user for years and it&#8217;s really helped me write both Java, and C\/C++. Basically I&#8217;m an Eclipse junkie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I recently bought Agile Web Development with Rails by Sam Ruby, Dave Thomas, and David Heinemeier Hansson, et al.
