Ajai Khattri -on- Ruby on Rails
Last month, we got a look at the Ruby scripting language, as Francis Hwang began showing us what makes Ruby different from other languages, and why it is his language of choice. Now that we've got an idea of what Ruby is, we're going to learn about Ruby on Rails. Why does it bill itself as Web development that doesn't hurt?
From the RoR site:
Ruby on Rails is an open-source web framework that's optimized for programmer happiness and sustainable productivity. It lets you write beautiful code by favoring convention over configuration.
Rails is a full-stack framework for developing database-backed web applications according to the Model-View-Control pattern. From the Ajax in the view, to the request and response in the controller, to the domain model wrapping the database, Rails gives you a pure-Ruby development environment. To go live, all you need to add is a database and a web server.
Those who attended last month's meeting learned a focus of Ruby is on the developer. It comes as no surprise then that Ruby on Rails is also focused on the needs of developers.
Our next meeting will be on August 30, 2006 at 6:30pm at IBM. Topic to be announced.
About Ajai Khattri Ajai Khattri was born in the United Kingdom, and after obtaining a degree in computer science in London, came to the US in 1994 and lives in Manhattan. He has come a long way since tinkering with his Sinclair ZX80 at age 8, and now works as a web developer and sysadmin for local ISP, bway.net after having previously been a developer, test engineer, systems administrator, helpdesk technician and IT consultant.
When Ajai isn't banging out code, he enjoys reading and photography. He can be seen regularly at nycruby meetings.
