ruby on rails

This blog post is ancient. If it is technical, the information is likely inaccurate, or at least out of date. If it is non-technical, it’s entirely possible that the relevant facts and my own opinions have changed significantly since it was written.

It is only preserved as part of this site’s permanent historical archive.

I’ve spent quite a bit of time playing with this Ruby on Rails thing. It’s amazing that I was able to build such a nice basic CRUD app w/ only 57 lines of code. Now, I know this app didn’t do much - just manage an Online Cookbook (i.e. the OnLAMP.com Rolling on Rails tutorial). I’m going to go through “Four Days on Rails” next since it purports to be a tutorial with a “Real App.” I’m excited about maybe using Ruby for rapid prototyping for our enterprise-class Java apps…maybe even for production apps. Who knows…Ruby may replace Java? :-)
