Getting to Know RoR

My professional career has taken a bit of a twist lately. My next project is a Web application that will not require an extensive use of my ActionScript programming skills. It has a fairly short deadline and requires quick iterations for client review which equates to an agile development process. Enter Ruby on Rails.

I’ve experimented a bit with this technology in the past and quite enjoyed working with it. It’s nice to see your application up and running in a matter of minutes – hence the joy of the Rails framework. However it certainly has its frustrating moments to be sure – like working with routing in polymorphic associations when the abstract class also belongs to another model and you want to dynamically create instances of the individual subclasses à la factory style – but I digress.

Anyway, here’s to happy coding and hopefully some decent hours of sleep in the near future.
