Because I use primary_key_prefix_type = :table_name this did the trick for me. Basically, I just set up a hash mapping primary key column names ("InvoiceID" and the like) to the name of the appropriate controller ("invoice_admin"). When outputting a column, if the name of the column …

I'll be listening to this podcast ASAP.

That Microsoft was going to increase support for dynamic languages is no surprise: they've been talking about that since (at least) PDC '03 and various hires and initiatives have clearly been in the works. I haven't seen the DLR yet, but my big question is: what version / runtime / patch level …

Scott Guthrie just announced IronRuby! Yeehaw!!!!!!

I know that sounds like a some kind of Bayesian spam-evader, but apparently Edward Herrmann, a programmer at Colgate-Palmolive, and colleagues hacked their Wii controller to send messages to their Ruby On Rails application, which drove their SAP system (film after the jump).

Komodo is a significantly "weightier" IDE and Ruby is just one of the many languages it supports. It is, I suppose, more akin to …

Here's the Ruby In Steel editing / debugging experience. Intellisense works dynamically -- as soon as you define a function, it becomes available to Intellisense. The debugging experience seems to be the standard VS one (that is, pretty darned good).

REPL functionality is provided by IRB in a console window: not ideal …

Hard on the heels of Ruby In Steel's debut, Komodo 4 was released today. This new version supports Ruby and RoR. via Binstock on Software.

Ruby programmers using Windows should definitely give this a look; this is very high on my "IDEs to look out for" list. It should be noted that this is not a CLR / .NET-based Ruby; it's a plug-in to Visual Studio (Standard Edition and above; unfortunately, VS Express users are out …
