I develop on Mac but have to support Windows development for my colleagues. I've always used RailsInstaller (<a href="http://railsinstaller.org/">http://railsinstaller.org/</a>), which has worked all the time. Finding an editor is more difficult, but I'd suggest e-texteditor (<a href="http://www.e-texteditor.com/">http://www.e-texteditor.com/</a>) which costs $47 after 30 days trial. Rubymine has lots of features too. Redcar is free and very good, but you need JRuby, which might be a bit confusing when it comes to installing and using different versions of Ruby.<br>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">5 years or so ago i was also a masters student (at birkbeck), doing a rails app for my project. This was my first time using ruby or rails, and it was mostly fun with a lot of config hell (I'd never been on a server before so that was a learning curve). I did a kind of stream of consciousness blog about it which might be useful - it's the story of a novice coder struggling with rails :) I started off in windows too and then at some point switched to coding in an ubuntu VM which was *so* much nicer. See also ditching netbeans/eclipse and switching to text editor and command line.<div>

<div> </div>
<div>I'm a masters student working on doing Twitter datamining to get the feeds I need to analyze for my dissertation research. Have taught myself Ruby/Rubygems but not going far on limited time. Think I have managed to install Ruby and Rubygems on my pc but have challenges in getting it to work. It could be something simple with pc setup, missing files, script error or something else? Have spent a great deal of time trying but have to reach out for someone to assist now. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I work in London and live along the central line so happy to speak/meet up with someone to work out the setup issues/method.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Many thanks.</div><span><font color="#888888">
