Since Saturday I’ve carried on looking at Ruby on Rails and so far I’m very impressed. While reading though the first part about of Agile Web Development with Rails, I wrote a simple web application which displays some data from a single database table, requires a logged in session to change data and always has user management via the admin interface. I don’t think I could have gotten this much done in so little time (and code) in any other language.My next target to get a better understanding of the data model system and set up some inter-table relationship. In about a month or so the application may very well worth publishing.
So ScotRUG has another convert? Excellent! 🙂 Once you’ve gotten a feel for Rails, I should show you a sample of some of the kick-ass stuff in edge I’ve been using all weekend. Life feels just so much clearer in edge! And I need to show off capistrano 2 for deployment. It just rocks.
Cool, we could show each other our web app’s when your round for dinner 😉
