There are many issues regarding Ruby to be discussed.
Has Rails done real good things to the progression of the language or more
for the techniques of new-language promotion?
Can one or several sluggers tell us the big picture of ruby-on-rails
instead of just saying it is the hottest topic in WEB-development ?
It's an MVC-based domain-specific language which makes building a certain
(rather common) class of web applications quite simple, fast, and
maintainable.
OK, being MVC-based tells me a good big-picture of ruby-on-rails.
Has anyone have experience with both ruby-on-rails and php.MVC
implementations ?
How does ruby-on-rails compare with php.MVC ? One O'Reilly author
claims ruby-on-rails enables one to develop web applications about 10 times
faster than when using other frameworks. It appears that this claim is
plausible as I tried to do an MyNotes-Directory this morning using MySQL
backend
and got one up and running, right, perceptibly fast, and nice in about
30-minutes.
It looks elegant and professional too.
My only concern is it does not seem to support Cyrus-SASL. Of course I can
manipulate the Views (html) but this defeats the purpose of
ruby-on-rails which
is RAPID-WEB-DEVELOPMENT.
Disclaimer:
I don't have Ruby programming experience previously; only OO programming
and like some SLUGgers, I don't earn a living as a programmer (since 1995).
Thanks.
