How can I help? (jaunesarmiento)

[jaunesarmiento]

Hi!

I'd like to contribute to the Ruboto project.

My earlier experience with Ruby, Java, Android and Ruboto: I've played with the Android SDK for quite some time. But I'm more experienced in Ruby and I build iOS apps using RubyMotion.

My experience with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Jekyll: I believe this can be answered in one GitHub repository, https://github.com/jaunesarmiento/fries. Its documentation runs on Jekyll (http://getfri.es)

My experience using git and GitHub: I can say I'm a fairly advanced git user.

My other interests and passions: I really love Android. :)

Hi Jaune,

Welcome! Your Fries project looks great.

Do you have a Ruboto development environment up and running? That's the place to start. Then run through some of the tutorials to get the feel for Ruboto (and help us to improve them).

As for ways to help our, the first thing that comes to mind for me is that it would be interesting to have a tutorial that shows how to use Ruboto and Fries.

One thing I'd like to do that you might want to help with: I'm in the process of converting Ruboto IRB over to 100% script. I'm mostly there, and I'd like to do that before revising the UI (much needed). I do have a demo that uses CodeMirror (browser based) to provide syntax highlighting. Given your Fries work, I wonder if it isn't best to make the whole UI more HTML/CSS based.

Of course, do what sounds most interesting to you.

Hi Scott

Thanks for the warm welcome and I'm glad that you liked Fries. I'm currently setting up my machine for Ruboto development. I'll run through the tutorials once it's set up. I believe I've already ran example Ruboto projects before in my old laptop.

I'm not quite sure though what you mean by having a tutorial that shows how to use Ruboto and Fries. Do you want to have a tutorial with a preview on the side on what should appear on the emulator? Or you want to make a tutorial showcasing both Ruboto and Fries?

And what do you mean convert the Ruboto IRB to 100% script?

I think I can help you mostly with integrating the tutorials and documentation to the front-facing website using Jekyll. This way, all code will be on GitHub and updating will be a breeze.

Let me know what you think. Cheers!

I guess I'm thinking about a tutorial that shows how you can use Ruboto and Fries together. From a quick glance, it looks like something people might want to use together.

Right now, Ruboto IRB is still implemented in Java, and then accessing JRuby (to run scripts) and touching a few other pieces of Ruboto. There is a demo in IRB that runs a script that duplicates Ruboto IRB's functionality (out of date). What I'd like is for Ruboto IRB to be a pure Ruboto app (i.e., no custom Java elements, just what is created by Ruboto). All of the functionality of the program would be implemented in Ruby. A Ruby script that presents an Android application that runs Ruby scripts.

Yes, we'd love your help on integrating the tutorials & documentation with the front-facing website!!!
