Ruby on Rails Article at ONLamp.com

Curt Hibbs's tutorial for Ruby on Rails showed up on O'Reilly ONLamp.com yesterday:

Maybe you've heard about Ruby on Rails, the super productive new way to develop web applications, and you'd like to give it a try, but you don't know anything about Ruby or Rails. This article steps through the development of a web application using Rails.

Curt demostrated Rails development at an OCI Java lunch last year. He did build an online forum application within an hour. I am very much in favor of cutting the XML configuration horror out of web development. Yet I kept asking myself, and others at OCI, "Where's the catch?"

So he built an online forum application within an hour? Uh, I saw him add a few fields and one or two rudimentary CRUD panels were working, but this was hardly a forum application within an hour.

Yeah, probably better to say the "beginnings of an online forum". Here's a new example that is pretty impressive. A new production web site was just launched a few days ago - http://www.tadalist.com/ - the was written in the latest version of Ruby on Rails. It contains 579 lines of code and took approximately one man-week to complete.
