Can someone point me to a good article on why one should use RoR ? A fact sheet would be great. I have a slew of articles collected, like: "CDBaby migration to rails" "David Geary''s Blog" "Bruce Tate''s take" ... etc... ... but would love to know if there was something that covered it all, in a concise manner. There should be a master document so we could use to explain it''s case well for adoption on future projects. Thanks, Dylan _______________________________________________ Rails mailing list Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails

Ahh... I already had this one at the top of my list. Thanks Rick :) I am going to put together a list of hard-hitting case studies / facts about RoR soon. The CDBaby and AListApart migration stories, your story, O''Reilly book sales... are all huge points in my opinion, and they really stand out. Thanks much Rick ! I''m hopefully starting an "enterprise" scale RoR project soon, and trying to convince the CEO it would be a good decision. There are a lot of Java advocates barking up the same tree, and I''m trying to sway the Java/Struts/Hibernate approach ! I''ve been coding in that enviroment for the last year, and it''s been hard now that I''ve used RoR :) On 12/10/05, Rick Bradley <rick-xSCPAUIMY+WN9aS15agKxg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > * Dylan Stamat (dylans-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org) [051211 00:45]: > > ... but would love to know if there was something that covered it all, > in a > > concise manner. > > > > There should be a master document so we could use to explain it''s case > well for > > adoption on future projects. > > We wrote one for ourselves, maybe you can adapt it for yourself: > > http://rewrite.rickbradley.com/pages/moving_to_rails/ > > If you do, would you be so kind as to post it online and let us all know > where it lives? > > Rick > -- > http://www.rickbradley.com MUPRN: 677 > | to get together > random email haiku | and exchange rumors, ideas, > | assistance, etc. > _______________________________________________ > Rails mailing list > Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org > http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails >_______________________________________________ Rails mailing list Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails
Here is a list that works for me - Time is money. matt On 12/10/05, Dylan Stamat <dylans-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > Ahh... I already had this one at the top of my list.

What is rarely mentioned, and just as important to consider, is what Rails doesn''t provide: continuations and page state (saving and restoring the state of all controls/widgets/fields). Rails has made certain trade offs, and, to be fair, a lot of other frameworks have made the same choices.
