The auto generated stuff is very sweet, but it doesn't build applications. You (the developer) still have to develop it. It just helps you with some of the common tasks.
So yes, a full-scale app will take longer than something that relies soley on the generated stuff. But even if you don't use much of the automatic stuff, the automated bean persistance and the templating libraries are quite useful on their own. cheers, barneyb On 11/10/05, Bryan Stevenson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Not looking for a huge thread here....but I just watched a demo on Ruby on > Rails and am left with these impressions/questions: > > 1) On the surface...DAMN!
