I’d like my next project to be RoR. I’m coming from .NET so it’s  
going to take me some time. This particular task (at first) is pretty  
simple - the client has a single table they would like to maintain.  
I’ve already executed the scaffold commands and connected to the SQL  
Server database, no problem.

While I begin to ramp up my RoR knowledge, I’d like to keep things as  
simple as possible here. This will remain on Windows and SQL Server  
for now. What I want to know is how should I host it internally for  
the couple of folks in the office? I’m thinking I could even just let  
webrick run like it does in dev mode, which would probably suffice.

Suggestions? Thanks.

Sorry, the devil made me do it. Just repeate all this to the customer  
and it won’t matter what server you use 😉
