Hear me ROR
Sounds cheeky, that. :P
Playing with Ruby on Rails in my spare time, which isn't much now that I've moved to a new workplace.
ROR, at first glance, seems pretty tame. I'm not a full-fledged developer, so I wouldn't know the nuances of the language, but being able to rapidly prototype an app is a pretty good deal in my book, and ROR passes that fairly.
I'm using the Instant Rails suite for this ROR play -- I haven't found the time (yet) to install ROR on Linux. Instant Rails is nifty: it has Apache, MySQL, PHP and ROR in a static location on your disk. The configuration file is smart enough (or dumb, depending on how you look at it) to know that the program locations have changed, so it adjusts accordingly. Deploying an application is straightforward: just edit the hosts file, start up Mongrel, and you can view the instance on your browser.
I'll update this space on my progress.
