JRuby on Rails screencast released
By: Robert Dempsey | Tags:Someone told me that watching a video is more fun that reading something. So much for the library I have sitting here then. However, in that spirit, we are happy to release the first in a series of screencast tutorials. We are starting out with JRuby. In this screencast, we took the first of our JRuby tutorials and made it happen. There is much more to come so stay tuned, and if you like it, let us know. As for me, time for bed.
If that doesn’t work for you…
Google Video has been having issues with the screencast for some reason, and it is too long for YouTube (13.5 minutes). So, just in case, we uploaded the file to our site. It weighs in at 40 MB. You can grab it from here.

FYI around the 3min 40 mark there is some issues with the video encoding

Martin,
Thank you for the info. I am uploading again to Google Video. If that doesn’t work I will post the Quicktime file. Weighing in at 14.6 MB it should be a quick download.

Hey, please post the Quicktime file for download!

Arthur,
It is uploading as I write this. Give us about 10 minutes and it is yours. The Quicktime file doesn’t have the issues - odd. Regardless, it will be up in 10. Thank you for your patience.

My QuickTime doesn’t like your file either (possibly why Google doesn’t like it too?). Are you using an unusual codec? All I get in QuickTime is a message I’ve never seen before.. a dialog box saying “Searching for video in ” which fails after about 10 seconds.

Peter,
I used QuickTime Pro version 7.2.0. I made multiple smaller files using Snapz Pro, and then used QuickTime Pro to put them into a single file. Nothing fancy. Of course, it is the typical “works for me here” issue. I will have someone else check it out too.

I am uploading another encoded version. This one will be 40 MB. Let me know if it works for you. Thanks.

I am giving Google Video another try with the newly encoded file. I am keeping fingers crossed.

I’ve had success with the Animation compressor, 5 frames per second.
On July 19th, 2007 at 9:06 am Robert Dempsey said:
@topfunky, is the Animation compressor part of another package or is it standalone.
@marshall, thank you sir. See you this evening.
@dsuspense - agreed. We are working on creating an internal wiki/CMS app that uses S3 on the backend and making parts of it (like screencasts) publicly available.
Stay tuned for more. Now that we know what to do, more will be on the way.

Any tips on configuring TextMate so that the Rails “tools” like Database Migrate to…, Install Plugin, etc. will utilize JRuby?
On July 19th, 2007 at 7:30 pm Robert Dempsey said:
@Martin, that is a great idea. We don’t have those yet, but it is on the list of stuff to talk about. Our second tutorial discusses an initial Rails app deploy to Glassfish. Perhaps our third will cover deploying an update including migrations et al, which goes beyond uploading another .war file to the app server. Is that what you are referring to?

I released a screencast this morning that shows how you develop your first JRuby app using NetBeans IDE at:
http://blogs.sun.com/arungupta/entry/screencast_web6_first_jruby_app
This entry also shows how this Rails app can be deployed on GlassFish.

Doh! You beat us to the GlassFish portion. Now we have to play catch up. Great work Arun. Please let us know of others you post as well.
