JRubyFX WebStart App Tutorial
One of the weird things I ran into when I first started trying to get JRubyFX to work with JavaFX‘s packaging tools, was that the packager would create these WebStart files and no matter what I tried, I couldn’t seem to get them working.

The long silence…
So, this blog’s been quiet for a very long time now. The reason is simple. Just as our tutorial began to get to the really interesting and cool aspects of Tower, the decision was made to begin making some rather dramatic changes to Tower’s API.

Trouble Installing Tower.js?
Due to the large number of dependencies and variables involved, several of my tower.js tutorial readers, as well as users at large, have had difficulty installing Tower. While I don’t have any “one” answer to the question, “Why won’t Tower install?” I can provide a few hints. Remember, I’m fairly new [...]

And we’re back with our tower.js tutorial. We are building an app using tower.js, BDD techniques, on node.js. If you are just finding the series, begin with part 1 so that you aren’t completely lost.

And we’re back. In part 1 we installed everything we needed for Tower and generated our app. In part 2 we learned how to run tests, and got our very first pre-generated tests to go from red to green. Now we need to write some tests of our own, then maybe we can go about actually writing some application code.
Tests of Our Own

In pt. 1 of this tutorial, we began by installing Tower.js and everything we needed to make it run smoothly. And we generated our app, letting tower set up our directory structure and create the foundation on which we’ll build the rest of our app. Now we’ll start building out the app, using BDD, a style of programming in which you [...]
