title: Guide to installing and developing Ruby in windows 7
body: <p>Could someone be kind enough to point me to a comprehensive manual (preferably a book) that would give me basic, step-by-step instructions to setting up and using ruby in a windows environment?</p>
  
  <p>I'm a complete noob at Ruby, gems and Rails.  Is it possible for me to get all-inclusive ground-up instructions on how to make web apps with Ruby in Windows?</p>
  
  <p>So far I've read that rubyInstaller and Bash are a good way to use ruby in Windows; so inclusion of these tools would be a much appreciated bonus!</p>
  
  <p>My biggest difficulty so far is simply getting bash set up so I can install gems and start coding apps against them (again I'm a complete noob!)</p>
  
  <p>Also, what text editor/IDE for windows would be best for me to code in?</p>
  
  <p>I would love an A-Z guide to installing Ruby/gems and making a Ruby-on-Rails app.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks all!</p>
