Thanks for this, I will definitely find it helpful. I must confess that I have a tormented relationship with MacRuby. I am a Pythonista and have found it extremely hard to move to the Ruby world. My major issue with the language is the irb shell. I definitely do not want to start a flame war, but I find it vastly inferior to iPython, especially iPython's newer releases. Second, it frequently crashes when I do anything wrong syntactically. I do appreciate MacRuby being a better accessor to Cocoa but in general don't think it is quite ready. Instead I prototype my code in PyObjC and then implement it in Obj-C. -- Robert Cloud http://www.robertlouiscloud.com http://www.robertcloudphotography.com On Friday, February 10, 2012 at 12:13 PM, Daniel Westendorf wrote:
This is a really good idea Kevin, I'll see what I can add.

Good day,
I am a huge fan of the hard work that all of you have put forth to bring MacRuby where it is today. I have been using it on and off over the past 3 months for client work and have come across a few things that I often need that are in some way obscure / hard to find / under-documented, or -- mostly -- cocoa design patterns and ideas that are completely foreign to this rubyist. I wanted to try and contribute something to this project and as such, I've started a public repo of "Recipes" of MacRuby tasks / activities that were "hard fought."
I am under no delusions that they are perfect, and welcome additions, refactorings and ridicule. But it's a start. Without further ado,
http://code.pinguinshow.com/macruby-recipes/src
Currently it contains "recipes" for: - Populating a NSCell based Table View - Downloading a file while displaying a progress indicator in a sheet - Opening the file/directory choosing sheet and handling the response
Coming soon it will contain recipes for: - consuming scripting bridge files - Core Data (probably quite a few here) - bootstrapping sinatra (awaiting a bugfix in macruby)
