Hi all, This Sunday Oracle launched a new customer interaction web app called Mix. Implementation-wise, it''s a rather regular Rails application, running on JRuby, Oracle Application Server (Oracle''s J2EE stack) and Oracle database. Three days later, it''s still alive and kicking at http://mix.oracle.com. The project team had lots of fun. Both good and bad variety of fun, but mostly the good old "gee, look how much functionality we can crank out before the Big Marketing Event" fun. Hopefully, this helps some of you push (J)Ruby into your own day job. :) http://oracleappslab.com/2007/11/11/mix-is-live/ http://ola-bini.blogspot.com/2007/11/oracle-mix-has-launched.html -- Alexey Verkhovsky CruiseControl.rb [http://cruisecontrolrb.thoughtworks.com] RubyWorks [http://rubyworks.thoughtworks.com] --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Cool stuff! I''m at Oracle Open World and got a chance to meet Jake and Rich and talk about this.

Will Oracle ever release Instant Client for Mac Intel? (So we can use ruby-oci8) If you''re a mix.oracle.com user, please +1 this: https://mix.oracle.com/ideas/release-instant-client-for-mac-intel (I understand this isn''t a problem for JRuby users, but it''s very frustrating for those of us using the seemingly reasonable combination of Ruby/Intel-Mac/Oracle) Also, I''d like XE ported please, thanks Oracle.

IBM announced at IOD recently that they are going to release a port of DB2 Express-C for Mac for development use. Here''s a blog entry which talks about this - http://antoniocangiano.com/2007/09/19/db2-on-mac/ If that proves successful, the big-O is likely to follow suit as the database world is very much a "me too" one as far as the commercial vendors are concerned.
