Getting Familiar with Ruby on Rails
Ruby on Rails is something that I have been meaning to look into for a while. I have been working with Java for most of my professional IT career and I work with Groovy on Grails whenever I have it my way. I even work with PHP and Python when working with some clients or when I feel like doing something different. So, I owed it to myself to give Ruby on Rails a good look. Why? Because there are a lot of people who are passionate about RoR and Rails is what inspired Grails after all.
I have been working with a pretty simple Web application that requires simple security, data access and minimal navigation. I will post more about the application once I have it done, but I can see why people are passionate about RoR just like I am passionate about GoG. Ruby is elegant, no doubt about it and Rails fits in to bring it all together for Web developers who want to focus on solving the problem at hand rather than fighting the technology stack. I am enjoying my experience with RoR thus far and would recommend that other Web developers who have not yet tinkered with Ruby on Rails give it a try for a few hours a night for a couple of days. Check http://rubyonrails.org/ out. There is a plenty of documentation and links to get you started.
