Ruby on Rails Code Quality Checklist – Articles – Matthew Moore
Posted by ivanoats | Filed under Bookmarks, Web Design, rubyonrails
In Matt Moore's experience, Ruby and Ruby on Rails has been one of the most difficult language/framework combinations to truly master. For someone who grew up on C, C++ & Java in the majority of their training, Ruby has hugely different (and better!) ways of OO design, and the Rails framework has a lot of opinions to be understood and remembered. As long as it's taken to master them to the level he has – and he's sure there's still a long way to go – he loves it and won't be going back.

Sinatra : Classy web-development dressed in a DSL
Posted by Ivan Storck | Filed under Uncategorized
The world doesn’t think it needs another Ruby web framework, but Sinatra is so different it will cut out a new market. A whole web app can be encapsulated in a single Sinatra file, making it especially ideal for small projects like Facebook apps. It even includes Haml markup! It was born out a need [...]
