Wow, been so busy!
It has been a busy 2009 so far. I haven’t even had a chance to breathe or really get any sleep at all. But that’s a good thing with this economy being down.
Overall we have ventured into the world of Rails and Ruby. Which so far has been rewarding since it has brought back some fire to my passion for web development. Yes, you may have heard this story again and again, but its just what really happened. I find Rails development to be a fresh breath of air and it definalty gives me some ideas for ASP.NET (MVC or not) development.
A few things that Rails really makes enjoyable is that is follows the MVC pattern, and really seperates the items of concerns. ASP.NET team is currently implementing a similar framework and has “borrowed” a lot of the ideas from Rails and a few other frameworks.
One thing I like about Ruby on Rails development is that I am not tied to a particular operating system. I am able to use MS Windows, Mac OSX or a flavor of Linux. Since this is an open source framework and technology, this allows myself the flexibility and freedom to choose. Something we do not really see from the MS crowd.
Well, I better get back to work, just wanted to post some “blah!”
