The prototype.js functionality seems awesome, but since it is a new tool for me, I need a bit more information.
I have a web text application, written in Ruby, that runs at a Linux command prompt. I am in the process of porting it to a web 2.0 application, and I am looking for some advice as to some of the tools that might be right for the job. I have 2 primary objects within the Ruby code that I will need to be able to communicate with via the web interface. One is a client object, that stores per client information and the other is a "global" Queue object that all clients currently share. These are TCP clients and the Queue stores messages containing a TCP socket and a short text message (each message intended for one client). I'm looking for find the best way (currently using Javascript) to update information in the client objects as well as store messages in the global Queue object. I'm trying to have this be as AJAXian as possible. Should I be sticking with pure Ruby or is something like "prototype.js" the way to go? If prototype.js supports this, what is the methodology or the functions that I would need to employ to send messages to Ruby objects? Based upon the state of the Ruby objects, I would need to update the portion of the display showing each object's current state. Any suggestions or pointers are sincerely appreciated.
