I know, this is a dead place. Unfortunately, I just can’t seem to find the time to put more time into this blog… at least at this time. Anyway, the thing that is stealing most of my “free” time made me do some experiments that I thought were worth sharing.
Since quite some time now I’ve been pretty interested in that awesome programming language called Ruby — they say it’s a .Net developer disease :-), but I don’t know if that’s true. After having read a few books on the topic (on my trustworthy iLead) and some fiddling around with irb, I decided to get some “real” hands-on. So I started with a minimal-near-to-flat-learning-curve-project and migrated my build scripts to Rake (using Albacore). Bye bye XML-based build scripts!
Then I thought, why not add some deploy stuff to my build? And so I began investigating the possibilities to configure IIS (7.5) with Ruby (and Rake) which lead me to creating my first ruby library ‘inetmgr‘! You can read more about it on the inetmgr about page.
