closing the gap between business and technology

Freedom and Ruby

without comments

Given Rails increasing popularity, web developers like me started to pay attention to this new technology.

So came my turn to find out some information about that.
I started the studies with Ruby, because without the language, the framework would not even exist.

Ruby’s nature and grammar sounds really interesting. And the dynamic aspects of Ruby makes it a very powerful language.

For those who are familiar with a strongly typed, and static language as C#, Ruby seems like a breath of freedom.

Using a pragmatic approach, I am looking for the following aspects to investigate:

  1. Under what circumstances Ruby or other dynamic languages would help me within the .net platform.
  2. How should be work with Ruby on Rails for web development purposes, leaving .net for other scenarios.

On the second point, I know Rails is much more than a framework written on a dynamic language, and therefore I would like to know everything that involves the platform.

In the coming months I will give depth to these studies.

And maybe a new Railer is emerging?
