I’m just getting started with Rails so I went looking for a Hello World example. Eventually I came to this post. I’m going to go over the equivalent example using the RIDE-ME IDE.

1. Create a new project. Click File – New – Project.

2. Enter C:\ in the Location textbox. Enter HelloWorld in the project name. Click OK.

3. Click File – New – Controller. Enter Hello for the name of the Controller. Click OK.

4. In the Project Explorer window, expand app, expand views. Right click the hello and click on Add New RHTML Page.

5. Name the file index.rhtml. Click OK.

6. Type “hello world” in your rhtml page. Save the file.

7. Press F5 (or click Run) and in a few seconds the web server starts and a browser window launches. Change the URL to http://localhost:3000/hello.

8. Hello World!

I hope to post more short projects as I work my way through the PickAxe and Agile Web Development with Rails books.
