Programming Cocoa with Ruby: Create Compelling Mac Apps Using RubyCocoa
Introduction:
This is a book for the Ruby programmer who’s never written a Mac app before. Through this hands-on tutorial, you’ll learn all about the Cocoa framework for programming on Mac OS X. Join the author’s journey as this experienced Ruby programmer delves into the Cocoa framework right from the beginning, answering the same questions and solving the same problems that you’ll face.
Together you’ll build a single application that threads throughout the book, and it’s not a toy. You’ll cover topics that may not be the flashiest parts of Cocoa, but they’re ones you’ll need to know to create robust, feature-rich applications for yourself. And you’ll learn more than just Cocoa and RubyCocoa, you’ll get first-hand effective agile development practices. You’ll see test-first development of user-interface code, little domain-specific languages that take advantage of Ruby features, and other Rubyish tricks.
At the end of the book, you’ll be ready to write a real Mac OS X application that can be distributed to real users.

NetBeans IDE 6.0正式版发布
正是好戏连台，刚刚CentOS发布新信息，现在NetBeans 6.0又登台了。
Java不用说了，是他要支持的基本功能。可能等6.0的都在期待他的Ruby的集成，现在好的Ruby IDE太少了。不过美中不足的是不支持PHP，同时运行的性能和资源消耗最好能在有所改进。
NetBeans IDE 6.0 支持的特性：
Ajax | C/C++ | Databases | Debugger | Desktop | Editor | GUI Builder | Java EE | Java ME | Java SE | Javascript | Mobile | Profiler | Refactor | REST | Rich Client Platform | Ruby | SOA | SOAP | UML | Web | WSDL | XML
我的Eclipse插件
现在我主要使用Eclipse来进行程序的开发，Eclipse自从有了PDT后，开发PHP的项目非常的方便、高效，如虎添翼。
1.PHP(PDT)
开发PHP，使用PDT会非常的方便，还可以和Ant以及Subversion有效的整合。绝对推荐使用。不过美中不足的就是不支持Refactor(重构)，改一个方法名太累了。
- PDT project: http://download.eclipse.org/tools/php/downloads/index.php
- Update Manager: http://download.eclipse.org/tools/php/updates
2.Python:
现在Python使用了比较少，所以这个插件现在发展了如何不是特别清楚。
- PyDev source forge: http://pydev.sourceforge.net
- Update Manager:http://pydev.sourceforge.net/updates
3.Ruby
开发Rails可以选择这个，不过感觉还有待发展，功能还不是特别强。如果使用PHP的Symfony Framework也推荐安装一下，用它可以编辑yml文件，非常方便。
4.HTML,CSS&Javascript （Aptana)
虽然Eclipse已经自带了一个WTP (Web Tools Platform)，也能进行HTML、CSS和Javascript的修改，不过感觉和Aptana比起来，Aptana的编辑功能更强，特别是CSS中输入margin时，自动会给出top right bottom left的提示，还会即时校验CSS的语法错误。这个是WTP特别不方便的地方。
同时Aptana还提供了Javascript和Ajax很好的支持。值得你尝试一下。

今天先介绍到这里，其他还有些，以后再补充。
