"Forget your mega budget push from Microsoft, I'm still astounded/disgusted in the amount of hype that surounds the RubyOnRails camp. did you know that 37Signals has done a deal with Apple so the next version of OS-X comming out will have RonR included on every copy, ready to install and run? sure you can still get it off the website, but think of the kudos."
A (kind of broken) version of Ruby already ships with OSX. If you're installing ROR on a mac you've got a couple of extra stages of dicking around to complete the install. I've been looking into ROR in regards to some of my price sensitive clients for a while now. The overwhleming majority of Australian business is SME, and its always an uphill battle to sell Bob on the cost of CFHosting, or god forbid if Bob's application requirements mean that a shared/relatively cheap hosting environment won't really work out all that well. I'd love to work with enterprise level clients who are keen to roll out robust solutions with a budget where the spend money to save money axiom holds water. But its oh so rare to find that sort of gig lately. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.
