Rolling with Ruby on Rails
A friend of mine directed me to this article:
ONLamp.com: Rolling with Ruby on Rails
It’s an easy-to-follow tutorial on a tool used to create web applications using Ruby. I was amazed at the simplicity of the process…having dealt with Tomcat/Java before…the tools that are built-in & that actually work the way you would want were incredible.
In the comments there is a reference to a Java project that is attempting to duplicate the idea/functionality for Tomcat…it is called “Trails” (here).
Both focus on simplifying a process/idea that is much more difficult now than it needs to be…which is always a good thing.
