Hello everyone, With the new Rails API coming with Rails 5, it is now even more natural to use Rails as a backend and JavaScript as a frontend for your apps. And when it comes to JavaScript, React seems to be one of today's most popular frameworks. So we've asked Marcin Grzywaczewski, one of the authors of Rails meets React.js book, to make an introduction to React for Rails developers. Join us Thursday, March 24th, 15:00 – 16:00 GMT (11:00 AM - 12:00 PM EDT) for a free webinar, React.js from a Rails Developer's Perspective: A Gentle Introduction, by Marcin Grzywaczewski. (more&h

Hello everyone, As hard to believe as it is, 20 years ago the first public version of Ruby saw the light of day. Ruby 0.95 was announced by Yukihiro Matsumoto, now widely known as Matz. Over these 20 years a lot of developers have discovered Ruby and fell in love with it, including us at JetBrains. Hopefully there are many more younger people who will do the same one day. Hurray to the whole Ruby community who has helped make this history happen! To look back on the interesting and eventful journey of Ruby today, we’ve come up with a series of humorous cartoons illustrating the Ruby time

“In almost all cases, I’m opposed to setting aside time for refactoring. In my view, refactoring is not an activity you set aside time to do.

Hello everyone, Ever since my colleagues and I visited RailsConf 2015 in Atlanta last month, I've been pondering over the closing keynote by Kent Beck. We're lucky to be a part of the JetBrains family, but like all developers we sometimes ask ourselves, "Does my work matter?". How can we know if our work on RubyMine is making a difference? I believe the answer lies in your feedback, and especially the feedback at the conferences we visit: when we get a chance to talk to Ruby developers, sit close together and look at RubyMine with your eyes. That's what RailsConf was all about. The first
