Ruby as Enterprise Language I'm now convinced that Ruby should be the language of choice for any enterprise.

Legacy companies will follow. Labels: ruby permalink ( Tuesday, March 25, 2008 ) Ray 0 comments links to this postWednesday, September 26, 2007 Frameworks have it wrong?

These are some notes and links to references. The talks was inspired by Joel Spolsky's article on The Law of Leaky Abstraction. Chad argues that you have to know what is going on "under rails" to write great code. So learn more Ruby! Chad was also inspired by Martin Fowler's keynote at 2006 Rail Conf. In the keynote he states that Rails continues the tradition of smalltalk where quick can be clean and it does not have to be dirty. Chad organized his presentation into some opinionated suggestions and presented sample code to make his point:
So a good meeting with links to even more. permalink ( Thursday, March 01, 2007 ) Ray 0 comments links to this post |
