I know you guys get tired of hearing about Ruby and RoR, but they've come out with a sweet little package that makes me jealous for one in CF. In one 35meg download, you get Apache, and SCGI rails adapter, mysql, php so that you can run phpMyAdmin on mysql, and two sample applications one tutorial cookbook app and one full blown, could run it in production blog app.
Now you may say, jeez that's really not all that spectacular and I would say "You're right". The kicker is the installation: Unzip to a folder, point windows explorer to that location, click on Instant Rails. Apache will start, Mysql will start, ruby will start. There's no files copied anywhere, the whole thing lives in one directory. It's a fully contained development environment that could easily be place on a 128meg usb drive and carried to another computer. Add another 30 meg download and you get a version of eclipse called RadRails that's specifically tailored to Rails development. Wouldn't that be awesome to do with CF. Go to a client site with a thumb drive. Pop it in a usb port and within 10 seconds be demoing a fully functional database driven web app. -- "aeteti yeah, do you seeyea, ooohohohn neh I don wanta seh, yeh nah, I don wanna seh", Pearl Jam, "Yellow Ledbetter" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:194893 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
