  1. Re:Oracle support by matchboy · · Score: 1 · on Ruby On Rails Goes 1.1

    You might consider migrating away from Oracle to PostgreSQL. ;-) ...or give us a call and see if we can assist your Oracle driver development.

  2. Great news! by matchboy · · Score: 1 · on Ruby On Rails Goes 1.1

    My Rails development firm has been working with Rails for over a year now and as of early last summer... we're exclusively Rails-focused. We've been working with features in 1.1 for several months now and are glad to see that these features are now part of the 1.1 release.

    Ruby on Rails on PostgreSQL = Enterprise Rails! :-)

  3. Let's talk about sex... or how about Rails sex by matchboy · · Score: 1 · on Is Ruby on Rails Maintainable?

    Rails isn't the evil code generation monster that you make it appear to be. It is merely a set of best practices that you either like... or you don't. Our Rails development team really likes them and we're willing to give up a few of our personal preferences for the sanity of working with a framework that allows for easier collaboration.

    The Ruby on Rails framework just sets the tone for you. You can use the scaffolding generator... but we don't in any of our client products. We might use it to just get a quick CRUD view of the existing data we're looking to work with.

    It's nothing more than a well thoughtout set of best practices... and people love it.

    The *other* guys are still hung up on their own ideas of what is best for their code... but in the end... we just want to get stuff done. Rails makes that a bit quicker to do so.

    Ruby+Rails+PostgreSQL+Lighttpd = Enterprie Ruby on Rails! ;-)

    Rails is amazing. If you asked us if we thought that would ever happen in January, we would have laughed.

  6. Why Rails will win by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Ruby On Rails Showdown with Java Spring/Hibernate

    Rails will win with the market because it is easy to find cheap hosting for Ruby on Rails. Not as cheap as PHP currently, but very reasonable already. Java lacks in this department.

    Apache + FastCGI = cheap hosting
