RubyOnRails
I’ve jumped on the RubyOnRails bandwagon by starting to write a simple app.
I’m just getting started, but it seems very nice thus far. It solves some of the problems (ok, not really problems… pet peeves) I have with web development using PHP.
The big one is forms. They are essential to any web app and they are such a PITA to code properly. Especially validation. The great thing about Rails is this is all done for you, so setting up a validation rule in your data model scales all the way down to form submission. Its smooth.
Updates forthcoming.
