Alex, I'd love to chat someday about your experiences with Rails @ SCE. I'm a project manager over in your sister company over Rancho Bernardo. You are obviously much further along than we are, but I'd like to share your success with the others here at SEL.

Hello, just wanted to introduce myself. I was planning on coming to my first meeting tonight, but now may not be able to make it. I'm a Perl guy who recently converted to Ruby on Rails in December after we gave up on Catalyst (the Perl "Rails-like" knockoff) for our project at work (I work for Sony Computer Entertainment America in Sorrento Mesa). We are using Rails to build a web plus xml-rpc api application server for internal use. It's quite a large project and we have only 3.5 developers. Rails has been letting us work about twice as fast as we would have been able to in Perl. (Not to mention I'm VERY happy working in Ruby...) The main perspective I might be able to bring is where we are doing "enterprise"-y things that are on the edge of what Rails can do (indeed, we have to NOT stay in the Rails paradigm occasionally). We are using Oracle, and using stored procedures and views, must provide an XML-RPC interface for people who will need to have an api into our app from Java. The application itself is relatively complex with about 60-70 tables, plus some views and some non-database backed models in the app. I also have been to the Pragmatic Studio guys' three day Rails Studio class and will be going to the Advanced Rails Studio. These are given by some of the authors of the relevant Pragmatic Programmer books and the class I attended was top notch. That's something else I can talk about (disclaimer: I'm just enthusiastic about the class and get nothing for referring people to it ... ) Alex Boster _______________________________________________ Sdruby mailing list [email protected] http://lists.sdruby.com/mailman/listinfo/sdruby
