Ruby On Rails, Today’s Hottest Web Framework, Now Supports FileMaker  
Server

Six Fried Rice, a FileMaker Pro Services Provider, Releases Rfm, a  
Free Open Source FileMaker API for Ruby and Ruby on Rails.

The buzz about Ruby on Rails can be heard all over the web. This world  
class development platform makes web developers more productive when  
building powerful web sites with up-to-the minute data. But before  
today, it was unwieldy to integrate Ruby on Rails with the FileMaker  
Pro software, the best selling database used throughout the world for  
managing critical data small businesses, workgroups, and  
professionals.

“Rails is, bar none, the most productive framework for web  
professionals. With Rfm, FileMaker developers can finally take  
advantage of this fantastic technology seamlessly.”, said Geoff  
Coffey, Rfm’s principle designer. “We designed Rfm to make the most of  
our two favorite things. It’s pure Ruby, with Ruby-like syntax and  
structures, and it works just like a FileMaker developer would  
expect.”

Rfm works perfectly with the competitively priced FileMaker Server 9,  
which was announced today by FileMaker Inc. This means web publishing  
in FileMaker has never been more accessible. (Prior versions of  
FileMaker Server require the more expensive Advanced upgrade to  
support web publishing and Rfm.)

Rfm supports the full suite of FileMaker Pro capabilities in a package  
that fully embraces Ruby’s legendary expressive syntax. With Rfm,  
publishing FileMaker Pro data on the web has never been easier.

For developers with a less visible job to do, Rfm also makes it  
possible to interact with FileMaker Pro databases in simple Ruby  
scripts that perform behind-the-scenes processing tasks.

PRICING AND AVAILABILITY

Rfm is free in every sense of the word. Released under the MIT  
license, it can be used without charge, even for commercial  
applications. And since its source code is wide open, it can be  
modified, extended, and merged into other products with no complex  
licensing requirements. Best of all, corporate FileMaker Pro customers  
can be confident their IP investment in Rfm is safe because they have  
full, documented access to the underlying source code.

Rails, and Rfm, visit the Rfm home page at Six Fried Rice:
