This is no go for the foreseeable future.
How to investigate RoR via Locomotive (on OS X)
It made me
happy 
"It was very easy to start and very satisfactory"
How I did it: I search around and found that I could use Locomotive to act like a ror server. From there I could use my existing Mamp installation to act as my MySql server and then I discovered Cocoa which allows me to manage my database with ease
Lessons & tips: How to get started with this setup
Resources: Locomotive, Mamp & Cocoa

This is back on the agenda.
I hope I can write a small app in Rails and publish it.

Of course there is also TextMate which offers syntax highlighting for rhtml files, amongst much else.

One thing that I’ve learned today is that when using Locomotive, in order to run commands in the Terminal, you must open the Terminal from Locomotive’s Rails menu.
Via E-Scribe, also pointed me to the Ruby module for BBEdit.

Started again this AM with Agile Web Development with Rails.
Locomotive is really easy to install/run!
3 years ago
Installing Locomotive was easy – really, really easy. I thought it would be easy, but it was even easier than I expected.
All you have to do is download it on your Mac, open the .dmg file (e.g. Locomotive_1.0.0a.dmg), go inside it (it is a mountable disk image) and copy the Locomotivefolder found within to the Application folder on your Mac. It lives their with all your other applications.
In the Locomotive folder, the author has already thoughtfully provided a minimum bundle of software for supporting a Ruby on Rails environment. But you can get more by downloading the maximum bundle of software he put together. I went thought route.
To get/use it in Locomotive, simply download the max bundle (e.g. Rails_1.0.0_Max.dmg) and open it. Inside, copy the whatever.bundle file that comes with it, into the Bundles folder inside your Locomotive folder that you have in your Applications folder. That’s it. I thought I would have to delete or rename the min bundle – but you don’t.
Locomotive will now let you choose between the min bundle and the max bundle when you run it. Very nice!!
I blogged about it, in case you want more info.

..a little bit getting Rails installed on OS X 10.3. Then I found out about Locomotive, downloaded it, watched the video, followed the steps in the video, and I succesfully created the trivial demo app.
Also ordered Agile Web Development with Rails from Amazon today.
