Moving to Rails

We made the decision at work to do some of our next projects using Ruby on Rails. I’ll spare you all the hype but basically its a web development framework that promises some rather appealing things.

So we bought some books and I’ve just finished working through Agile Web Development with Rails. Now I’m trying to knock together a little app to replace our office project management system (which is far too complex). Boy it is frustrating though. Like learning to write all over again. The simplest little things hold you up. Not because they’re hard, or complex, but just because its done differently to the way you’re used to.

The Rails forum is proving rather useful though.

I will keep you posted on my RoR progress!
