I'm looking into Ruby on Rails. I've been convinced it is the hottest
thing going right now. Three things I already like:
Rails is the standard MVC framework for Ruby. The fact that a standard
framework exists is the part I like. A focused effort on one framework
is probably better than a choice between a bunch of 0.* version
frameworks. But I could be wrong about that.
There aren't supposed to be zillions of config files. Instead code is
based on conventions so that rails knows what things mean. I guess this
means file and class names.
The object relational model is integrated into rails and apparently
very slick.
And I got this info from a person working on a PHP MVC framework. He
said for any new project that doesn't have to be PHP he would choose
Ruby on Rails. So I'm going to spend a little time looking into it.
Seems like I start down one path and someone shows me another one but I
feel like I'm getting closer to howI should go about developing
professional web applications.
