From: Adrian Arlechin Date: 2009-05-23T16:46:53+09:00 Subject: Deploy a Ruby program & GUI connection I have some Java experience and jus try to understand Ruby I have two problems: First: how can I deploy a ruby app. Is there something like jar? or the application is started allwais going to the command line? The source files can't be hidden and/or protected? And the second: From Java I now that is better to code yourself the GUI and not to use a GUI maker, but in Ruby must I learn Tk?, this beeing presented in the "Programming Ruby - The Pragmatic Programmer's Guide" I have seen an IDE called wxFormBuilder wich make the GUI developement very easy, but how do I connect the code to a ruby program? I looked around the web and in some Ruby books and I didn't find a explenation. A simple example will be great: a file made with wxFormBuilder wich takes two numbers in two text fields, and two buttons one for multiplication and one for division, with output to another text field. I think such explenation will help a lot of people in their first steps in Ruby Thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
