Rise of the Ruby

Posted by Sebastien Lachance on July 17, 2007

2 years ago, someone told me Ruby will be the “next big thing”. I told him “no way”. C# will gain more and more popularity and ASP.NET 2.0 will totally rules. God, I was wrong. After 2 months of Ruby On Rails, I must admit it’s here to stay. The ease of use of the Rails framework is impressive. In 30 minutes I have managed to create a little web application to keep track of my weight with complete support for creating/editing/deleting as well as listing all items. This was the first minute, the remaining 29 minutes was modifying the design and doing some CSS.

If you have never seen the coding of a blog engine by a ruby on rails programmer, then you must absolutely check this screencast.

There is a lot more screencasts that will encourage you to go further on the Ruby On Rails website.

And a bonus for all of you who are already into ruby : RailsCasts
