I'm going to start development on a web app using ruby, rails, probably either postgres or mysql, and most likely apache. I'll be using a git repository with the master repo on another server.

I've searched through stackoverflow and done some Googling... so here's what I have so far...

What are your opinions on what's described on this page?: http://robots.thoughtbot.com/post/159805668/2009-rubyists-guide-to-a-mac-os-x-development

What about this one?: http://www.buildingwebapps.com/articles/79197-setting-up-rails-on-leopard-mac

I don't need helping finding an editor, there's plenty out there (TextMate, TextWrangler, MacVim), but I do need help to make sure I'm setting things up correctly to code, build, and run the web app from my mac.

Here's a specific set of scenarios I could use some help on:

  • Testing various versions of rails and/or ruby.
  • Testing performance, vulnerabilities, monitoring queries, etc.
  • Testing different versions of gems.
  • Working on other projects on this same machine.
