Hi everyone,

Has anyone have any recent notice about www.behindlogic.com - the author
of the
quickbooks gem?

The gem seems to be a great tool for the job of comunicating with
quickbooks from a ruby aplication.

However what I see is that the last entry in the blog is from february
28th, 2010.

The other point is that it seems not to work with IronRuby.

Thank you in advance for any advice you can give me...

Regards,

Eduardo Blumenfeld

It looks like his last tweet was in April 2010 and his last update to
his github account was May 14, 2010. The github account lists an
email address that you could use to contact him (not posted here to
avoid feeding the spambots).

IronRuby is no longer developed or supported by Microsoft:

You might want to use the regular Ruby (MRI) instead:

http://rubyinstaller.org/

There is also JRuby if your environment is Java friendly:

http://jruby.org/

Cheers.

Unfortunately Daniel Parker, author of the Quickbooks gem, passed away
in a tragic bicycle accident:

It is sad to hear that, specially being so young (23 years old!!!)

Would it help someone in his family if we buy the ruby gem from his
web-site?

Thank you for the quick answer.

Note that the key phrase here is "by Microsoft". The project is still
alive. The blog author indicated that he and his former coworker
would continue working on it, just not full-time. You can also see
activity here: <http://ironruby.net/Special:Recentchanges>.

Charles, you are right.
Microsoft lost interest in promoting Dynamic Languages (to a point),
however
the idea of IronRuby has a lot of potential.

Anyways, this issue is off-topic.

Going back to Quickbooks gem, I can still get it, paying for it
obviously...

Thanks in advance...

Out of curiosity, does it come with source?

Charles,
Actually Mine was a question:
Can I still get the gem by paying it?

Regarding that, a gem, as far as I know, is a collection of .rb files,
so the source is there...

Thank you,
