Hey interesting :p How come many business owners I met are happy to learn ruby?!!! Which part of Ruby and Rails do you learn? (from both small and big business) I know a good graphics designer who likes learning haml, simple html.erb things. I know a good CEO, he learns the psychology of Ruby Developers, MVC, rspec, ORM (ex. how can a form can recognize model automatically) I know a graphics designer in Jakarta who really likes ActionPack (ActionView) and its family method helpers. I also know a CEO who said I don't care whether it's ruby or others. I don't care of what our business requirements are, what makes us happy here is we got our beloved Ruby Developers (then roared of laughters). etc. / too many to write down, seems to be a good sharing when we meet together again someday. -- I've heard about ror about 4 years ago when I first met Mas Widi. He was really excited about it but I wasn't paying attention to it since I wasn't doing any exciting application development work back then. Anyhow, late last year our company was embarking on a new venture and we needed to develop something fast. We took a chance on Rails and we believe we're making a good decision. If you're asking why, Rails simplicity won me over. I looked at CakePHP and just setting up gave me a headache :) There are still a lot of improvement can be made but for what I need now, Rails is good enough that it satisfies my requirement to achive my goal. -- http://beol.laksmana.com/ http://twitter.com/beol
