Ruby on Rails demo video
I just finished watching the rails demo video which is available @ruby on rails and boy, it blew me away. If you haven’t seen it yet, get over there and watch it immediately. The 9 minute video demonstrates rails from installation to first application, and that first application goes well beyond the over-stressed “hello world”: a simple weblog application. I don’t know how versatile rails is beyond putting and pulling data into and out of a database, but what i’ve seen so far looks astonishing. I wouldn’t say i’m a slow coder (not particularly fast either) but looking at this video left me wondering what i’ve done wrong up until now. Perhaps i should grab that untouched copy of programming ruby and get started, but then, i’m still in the middle of diving into python. Also of note: textmate, an upcoming text editor, is used in the demo and it looks like it could possibly replace subethaedit as my editor of choice.
