Creating a Ruby on Rails with GeoRuby and spatial_adapter

I spent some time investigating on how to query spatial objects in a postgis environment using Rails.

I accomplish this using GeoRuby and spatial adapter gems, mashed a simple startup project using Google Maps API v2 and I got my hello world kind of project. Created some interaction between objects on the Web map while updating the database.

Looking for some help of how to create a google maps visualizer layer for uDig, and because it lives in a rich client platform any developer is able to create addons in order to extend it’s functionalities. Developing a background layer for the main panel is one of the solutions. Today I received a tweet about how to accomplish that. The source of this tutorial is really trustful (IBM).
