Getting Started
Recently the online open documentation for ruby on rails has under gone a make over, see http://guides.rails.info/ for the latest set. This now provides a really good starting point to learning the underlying framework to biorails.
Also for fans of microsoft visual studio there is a new all in one IDE from SapphireSteel (see http://www.sapphiresteel.com/Ruby-In-Steel-New-Free-Edition) this provide a single install to setup, ide, rails, ruby, mysql etc. Its good to see that all major development IDE now have solid support for ruby on rails available.
As biorails is now a large rails project, a simplified training example has been added to get started withcan get found at:-
http://biorails.org/svn/biorails/contrib/chemreg/
This is build so its really easy to covert this into a chemical inventory plugin in biorails. As long expected integrating into existing chemical inventory is most common customization for BioRails. This project provide a simple application to manage compound,batch, sample and containers.
