Book: beyond Java, Rails has little commercial backing ?
I have been reading the book "beyond java" by Bruce Tate. Are there any other good books or blogs of this nature ? I am really interested in trying to keep tabs on where Rails is headed. I know the book is a little old, but he says Rails has an embarrassing lack of commercial support ? Is that still true ? Why is that the case ? It seems like he makes a good point of why Rails could find a niche where Java is very lacking, but he doesn''t really seem to state it very strongly as if afraid to offend Java developers or something. I recall a Java developer said why would you use a framework (referring to Rails) ? I later realized the obvious answer is, well what is J2EE then ? I could hardly get a job anywhere with just Java on my resume, you need to know a zillion Java API''s. I started playing with Rake a bit, I have been totally turned off by ant builds I have seen, very complicated stuff that seems very limited. Why would I want to write code in xml anyway ? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Rails is in fact a grass-roots movement that can be characterized well by the technology adoption lifecycle (TALC) [1]. I''m not sure where we sit on the TALC curve, but we''re on one side or another of the chasm. At railsconf I hung out folks as varied as an r&d lead at sap to early adopters like myself. Vendors such as Borland (codegear), Sun and others are putting in vendor support, and mid-sized consultancies seem to be taking building health rails practices (thoughtworks announced 40% plus revenue from rails projects). Perhaps you should clarify more what you mean by commercial support. And perhaps you''ll feel more comfortable with rails as it gets wider adoption, in which case keep your eye mainstream media which will signal to you that rails has arrived. Until then there is a significant community of us that are (have been) making a very joyful career riding the wave.

I''m just interested in seeing Rails evolve and gain acceptance. I work at a fairly large company that does web development. I have been doing PHP for about 4 months, most of the other stuff the company does is Java, before that I couldn''t seem to get Rails work due to my lack of web development experience (I did alot of C++ backend work) and not enough Rails work was out there I guess. Hardly anyone at my company seems to take Rails very seriously. If Rails was to become accepted and then gradually become bloated like Java, then I figure something else would come along. I don''t see why I should want to be affraid of that. At one time I was doing C++ and I very much wanted to do more Java stuff, now I am not very interested in Java anymore but Rails instead, someday it could be something else. I just want to follow the trends in languages. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Re: Book: beyond Java, Rails has little commercial backing ?
Hi, I guess I couldn''t resist to chime in on this thread. Rails is on the radar-screen of some large and mid size corporations as one poster noted. Next, if you''re a skilled J2EE developer, then you should not have a problem finding a job. A corporation tends to hire a technologist that know many subjects areas rather than one that knows a single subject matter in some cases. Please take a look at some of the job postings. Some places are looking for people that know it all. Thus, if you have more tools in your toolbox that you''re fairly competent with and have experience in, then an potential employer would be more likely to hire you. Why? This gives the employer a bit more flexible in using you as a resource to the company. Thus, you''re value to the company grows. I would highly recommend reading "My Job Went to India (And All I got Was This Lousy Book)" by Chad Fowler because it covers this in greater detail as well as other aspects of the job. Next, why would you do J2EE? They are paying you to do J2EE. If you don''t like it, then you get another job if this is an option. In this day, they''re many technologies that can be applied to software problem and some will make it easier and some will make it harder. Furthermore, there may be a foundation of support for the technology in use at your company. Thus, making it harder to transition to something better, faster, and stronger and switching to something may increase company risk. Next, how does one introduce new technologies to the workplace? In most cases, one cannot say, "I have this new technology A and I would like to use it on Project B...". However, in the past, I was able to introduce new technologies to the workplace by delivering a working prototypes of the systems that were currently under development. Also, I provided the standard numerical measures of the prototype and compared those to the system that I was modeling. In short, it goods that you''re making yourself aware of new technologies but you should be a bit more professional about it. Also, if you''re looking to make your point that one technology is better than another, then I recommend the following: a) Do It aka implement the prototype b) Show It aka present it to the stakeholders c) Compare It aka provide some numerical measures Good luck, -Conrad On 8/18/07, wbsurfver-/E1597aS9LQAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org <wbsurfver-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > > > I have been reading the book "beyond java" by Bruce Tate.

In the sense that there is no big software vendor (or a committee of vendors) driving platform development - thankfully, yes, it''s still true and there isn''t much to be embarrassed about. Big vendors are starting to pay attention though.

Rails, and especially Ruby can benefit tremendously from a team of full time developers and full time sales people. The reason why RoR is still a hobby tool after almost 3 years and .NET was used to build enterprise applications before it was out of beta is because Microsoft is selling it people who make decisions. Corporations pay developers and tell them what technology to use. A guy operating from his basement will not convince a corporation to adopt his technology because frankly, said guy can provide zero technical support. Limited tech support and complete lack of enterprise tool will keep Rails from adoption.

Re: Book: beyond Java, Rails has little commercial backing ?
It depends what one means by "commercial support". There are, for starters, definite signs of commercial acceptance, especially in the area of tools. There are versions of both NetBeans and Eclipse that support Ruby on Rails. The JRuby project may also make Rails a more appealing web solution for companies that already have a considerable investment in Java and J2EE. A web app running on JRuby can make use of logic already developed in, say, Java Beans, and can be deployed to application server as a WAR file. // Gregory --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Sorry you are not in a position to sell Rails to your clients or employers when it''s a good match for one project.> Corporations pay developers and tell them what technology to use.Yes, and twice the initial ETA after the project begins, they fail, blame whoever they can to save their job (or have moved in the organigram so aren''t acountable anymore anyway) and the cycle repeats: read newspaper articles, believe they are somehow related to the problems at hand, force "corporate" technical solutions on technical teams, fail, restart somewhere else, ...

Re: Book: beyond Java, Rails has little commercial backing ?
Just as a side consideration (sorry for the troll). For those of us who live in the world of startups, arguments in favor of commercial support render little influence. When it comes down to it, productivity wins out over anything else. With Rails an entrepreneur can create a prototype in weeks vs months and hand off the product to a dev team who can run with the code because everything is in the same place and standard conventions are used. In Java it''s a crap shoot as to whether you can find a developer who knows the stack you are using and in the case of PHP...good luck. In addition it is worth noting that the ''economy'' of tomorrow''s world will most likely increasingly be built on the dreams and hard-work of basement office developers and small dev teaams who will leverage and monitize their ideas on the web with limited startup capital and a whole lot of sweat equity. In that world it sure doesn''t matter much if the framework comes with a lifetime guarentee stamp from a large corporation. What matters is productivity, time to market, and usability. The last thing we want to do is to waste our time just trying to set up the framework/config env. In that world Rails shines. In the end I suppose it''s all about the right tool for the right job. For now I''ll just point and laugh at the pointy-haired execs who need the comfort of a platform backed by flashy marketing...it just means that the competition will be that much slower than me. ;) On 8/19/07, Phlip <phlip2005-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > > Alex G wrote: > > >> I would call a language that only exists due to its commercial support > >> embarrasing... > > > > That is so cute. > > > > Rails, and especially Ruby can benefit tremendously from a team of > > full time developers and full time sales people.
