Finally, for those with fast broadband connections and lots of download
overhead, this 400MB 35-minute screencast from NASA on rapid Web app
development frameworks is both amusing and instructive:

Horst is barking up trees in the right copse with RoR, if not exactly
the right tree.
I should have added that the above screencast compares Ruby-on-Rails
with various Java/J2EE frameworks, with Zope/Plone, Turbogears and
Django. He doesn't make any recommendations, but one can't help but feel
that he like Django the most, is impressed and Turbogears, and was
initially wowed by RoR but then began to have a few doubts. So that's a
view from a full-time software engineer form NASA's Jet Propulsion
Laboratory (JPL - the bunch responsible for all the interplanetary
unmanned exploration missions over the last few decades).
Note that the screencast is about 6 months old now and RoR but
particularly Django and Turbogears have further matured and have had
some rough spots honed and their documentation improved since then.
the same author (Sean Kelly) has followed up with some plone-centric
videos which are equally entertaining and instructive
