Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

Re:"A message from Kevin Neelands to all members of Ruby Town on CodeTown!
Just starting with Ruby on Rails. I found one I.D.E. called JetBrains RubyMine, and I'm trying to install the Dynamic Language ToolKit in Eclipse. Does anyone have suggestions for the best I.D.E?
Visit Ruby Town at:

This question would be better posted as a Codetown Discussion in the Ruby Town group so everyone could benefit from the responses. FYI, activity in a Discussion gets emailed to all members of the umbrella Group it's posted in.
Plus, all Codetown members will see the posting in Codetown's activity log.
Hey Kevin, I got those 3-D glasses in the mail. I'll check them out this weekend. Stay tuned! Best, Mike
