I''m curious how long people take to build a typical website in rails. I appreciate that there is no "typical" project, but I''m trying to get an idea of how long it might take to implement some ideas I have. Perhaps you can point to a site you have built at say that took me (and x number of others) "2 days" / "2 months" / "2 hours". Or, i can build a simple online shop in xxx days. The last full cycle web development project I worked on was in asp /sql several years ago - an online record store. The bulk of the work probably took a couple of months.

Bottom line, it''s just too hard to say, there are SO many variables. I think Bruce Tate''s anecdotal story in "From Java to Ruby" about rewriting a java app was something like 4 months of java work (using Spring, Hibernate, etc.) was re-done in Ruby in a matter of 4 nights. Now, you know that after 4 months of working on the project, they had answers to most of the questions that were gonna come up, so you have to make an effort in your mind to separate out design time from construct time on a comparison like that. But still, you are definitely talking orders-of-magnitude productivity gains >for the right type of application<. c. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

But it is hard to say, depends on who''s working on it, what the requirements are, what your deployment requirements are, etc. If you''re interested, we''re running a one-day workshop in Chicago for ASP developers who are now learning Rails. There''s a link to the full announcment in the sidebar of our blog at softiesonrails.com.
