The debugger in Ruby In Steel Developer provides Ruby programs wth the debugging features you would expect of Visual Studio - and it’s a heck of a lot faster than the standard Ruby debugger too.
If you haven’t used the Developer Edition of Ruby In Steel, you might be interested to see a quick demo of some of its features. I’ve just recorded a short (a bit over three minutes) Camtasia movie to show how to set breakpoints, add watch variables by dragging-and-dropping into the Watch window, debug-to-breakpoint or trace-into methods. There’s also a quick view of the Locals window and an example of drill-down expansion in the Watch window.
That’s just a taster though. I’ll be looking at other debugging features such as the Autos window, the Call Stack and the Ruby On Rails debugger(s) at a later date...
We now have six short movies online. View them over on the Movies Page.
