Ruby on rails roles along

Last term I heard about this Ruby on Rails platform through some comments on Drew’s blog. So I took a look. At the time the site was pretty rough, just in development I imagine. But the documentation was impressive. I got my co-op student at the time to compare Ruby on Rails with PHP for work term report (I will share it with his permission once the report is finished) which contained nothing but praise for it from his 3rd year CS perspecitive. The word of mouth even has hit Slashdot recently with the appearance Rolling with Ruby on Rails.

I almost wish I heard about this sooner for a PHP app we are working on for my office… Although it is never wise to build a critical app on ‘cutting edge’ technology. But what fun is playin it safe? ;) I will be looking at it over the next few months when time allows… pretty cool indeed.
