Hi guys, I''m very new to RubyOnRails and have just successfully set up the RoR WebRick server on a local machine running a fully updated version of FC5 and PostGreSQL. PostGreSQL is setup properly as well as PgAdmin3 and I have a test database working. Today I''ve been reading as much of the PDF book "Agile Web Development With Rails" as possible. I noticed that the author encourages his readers not to use the "component approach" and wondered why. I know that the performance is reduced, according to the author, and that is one of my concerns. But if I don''t use the "component approach" then what other "better approach" is there when you are trying to simulate a "MS Access like data control" on your webpage?>From my reading so far, it seems like AJAX may hold the key to a higherperformance solution. My personal preference would be to rely as much as possible on Ruby, rather than upon JAVA, and I''m not sure what that means in terms of the currently available tools. Thanks for your help.

Hi guys, I''m currently using a fully updated version of FC5 and PostGreSQL on a local machine in my office. I''ve also successfully setup RoR WebRick server and Apache 2.0. Today I have been going through some of the basic examples in the first part of the book, "Agile Web Development With Rails". I came across a statement that the "Component Approach" should not be used because it will perform slower and because it will create problems in the website maintenance arena. So my question is, if I don''t use the "component approach" then what approach should I use? I''ve read that AJAX might hold the key to better performance...but does that mean that I have to start using JAVA? My goal at this point is to do a "proof of concept" test website on the local area network that will have a basic website with a "MS Access like data control" to show my boss that it "can be done". Then I''ll start trying to optimize it further. I would prefer to use PostGreSQL as the back end. And I''ve already gotten PostGreSQL working and have created a test database with tables and have successfully used PgAdmin3 to make changes to the database. Any advice you can give me would be appreciated.
