I know I may be getting ahead of myself since I don''t even have rails down yet, but I was looking for a nice web based GUI to pair with my rails projects in the future, ajax sure does look nice, but by god is it chunky and slow...are there any extremely light/fast alternatives to giving my projects some eye candy interfaces? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Could always look into Adobe Flex there is a number of ways to integrate with Rails, remoting (i.e. WebOrb) and/or web services.

Man, I hate Flash. But it is one of the only ways to create a rich GUI interface with live data. But I guess to do that you need Flash Media Server. I''m just starting to look at Flex(Why didn''t I before??!) and WebORB. And if I was developing an app on my own, I''d definitely look at the Red5 open source flash media server project. The Flex compiler is free, but their WYSIWYG interface is I think like $800, which is out of my price range for software. Also Actionscript sucks a$$. But if you need the kind of interactivity and immediate user interaction that Flash can give you, then you have to use it for now. kthxby Alexander York wrote:> > I know I may be getting ahead of myself since I don''t even have rails > down yet, but I was looking for a nice web based GUI to pair with my > rails projects in the future, ajax sure does look nice, but by god is it > chunky and slow...are there any extremely light/fast alternatives to > giving my projects some eye candy interfaces? >--~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Also Actionscript> sucks a$$.Why does AS suck ? Can''t compare it to Ruby as far as design (not sure if that''s the right word) but AS3 now is officially a OOP language. The class api is pretty large also. Although I''m relatively new to even Ruby , AS is making a nice compliment to learning OOP in general.
