[...] “In many cases, a developer will spend a large portion of their Web development in configuring their app and configuring different elements of the framework to work together,” wrote Web developer Brian Burridge in a blog post last year. “… Convention is built into Rails, to save the developer the time in redundantly making these decisions, and to ease the transition as a Rails developer moves from project to project, even company to company.” [...]

Definitely a keeper. I’ll send my friends that are curious about Rails over here

And since the article’s so high level, all of this pretty much stays perfectly relevant across the different versions of Rails.

Great article, thanks!

Nice list, Brian. The origin of ActiveRecord was new information to me. Do you think maybe the “Migrations” topic should be broken into more than one paragraph?

[...] tags: Java, JSP, Ruby On Rails, Web Developmentposted: Wednesday, July 25th, 2007 For the past six months I’ve had the pleasure of working with Rails in my spare time. I’ve read several books, and written several applications for personal use. Soon, I will begin to put most of my spare time toward a Rails application I hope to release to the general public. As well, I will begin to share more of my Rails experiences on my blog. (Watch for new posts on getting started with Rails, like Ruby on Rails – Terms and Concepts). I remember well the early days of cgi programming when I wrote my first Perl web applications. Then I transitioned to some kind of Oracle web procedures (I forget the real name) for some larger applications for Fortune 500 companies first getting onto the web (ex. Lucent Technologies). Eventually I did Flash and Java applets as they first came out. I made the move to Java (beyond the little applets I’d done) when Sun released the first beta specs of JavaServer Pages, in late 1998. In fact, thanks to the beauty of Internet archives I found this post written by none other than myself while working at Cox Target Media in 1999. (Guess I don’t have to worry about proving I’ve been doing JSP since it first came out). I have been involved in Java web application development ever since. I didn’t take an interest in .NET, and didn’t pay much attention to ColdFusion. I’ve done some PHP, mostly for small solutions and to customize my WordPress blogs. But, for 99% of my web software development in the last 8 years, I have stayed committed to Java. [...]
