worth double checking Horst's take on RoR as the ant's pant's of Web

You didn't check. Checking is not only allright, but highly welcome
when I go
overboard with fresh enthusiasm.
Horst is certainly not at all over the top with ROR . I have used ROR
for nearly a year and still excited by it. One of my RoR projects is to
display the whole docle linnean classification system on the web as
a live tree using Ruby on rails + Ajax starting from a single root
node labeled objectMedica.
An interesting aspect of ROR is that you are learning two languages
concurrently and the brain has to grapple
with two interacting but different computational models ; one based
on javascript in the web browser and the other running Ruby /
http server . I have found the need for as many javascript books as
ruby/rails books working with ROR. As long as Horst is casting
Ruby and not Perl , I shan't whine.
Time for a medical rails conference in either Dorrigo or Scoresby
within 12 months!?

Landsborough, Buderim and Helensvale .
