List of Nitro Powered sites?

#1

Hi all…

I’ve been busy on my researches, and have some time to connect back with
the
Og/Nitro gang. Actually I’d like a nice mature, non-rails ruby bases
web
deployment system to generate interest in FOSS development in my local
(geographical) area.

There is no reason to not do Rails, it is a career move for some people
I
think. I tend to thin the Nitro way is ‘better’. I also think that
mono-culture is a poor substitute for thinking. To mis-use Tolkein,
“There
can NOT be only one framework to rule them all”. For me.

I would like some example URI-s for Nitro powered and Nitro derived web
sites that you Know or Own?

Thanks for you help, in advance.

aloha,

Hi William.

The Nitro world has gone quiet. George stopped actively developing it
and
the Og ORM was spun off into its own project.

Take a look at ramaze http://ramaze.net/ for a non-rails web stack
with a
very similar feel to nitro. It plays nice with about every view/template
technology and ORM you can think of - including the sucky ActiveRecord
and
the lovely Og - and you can be up and running as quick as you can type:

require ‘ramaze’

class MainController < Ramaze::Controller
def index
“hello”
end
end

Ramaze.start

With nary a database configuration in sight.

Cheers,
Dan

Indeed, I am not working on the public Ruby version of Nitro any more
(although I am maintaining a heavily customized version used on
http://www.me.gr)

However, I am working on a JavaScript version of Nitro:
www.github.com/gmosx/nitro

It’s at the very early stages (ie it is expected to change a lot) and
the
philosophy is quite different than the old Ruby version.

If you liked the old version you should indeed check out Ramaze.

regards,
George.

Thanks Dan / George.

I got into the new OgDen project but there is a problem with some new
facets, I think. I will definitely have a look at
ramazehttp://ramaze.net/,
my ‘thing’ of course is organisational ecology; I’m thinking that a
healthy
Ruby community needs 3 or 4 examples of a “web framework”-s.

I am interested to know if there are Nitro powered web sites still.

As an aside, I recommend the March-2008

In there, they have substituted ActiveRecord with scalable hibernate
(and it
is faster than Ruby 1.9)

Also for those not looking, NetBeans lets you configure a project to
target
–> Ruby 1.9, Ruby 1.9, JRuby and Groovy from the same nice IDE. I’m
sorry
to say I find Eclipse dysfunctional now (netbeans doesn’t do Git yet).

I don’t mention this much; this is a good time to comment. I’m into
knowledge management and sensemaking (some overlap with semantic
computation). The nice people on the
freemindhttp://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FreeMind_0.9.0:_The_New_Featuresproject
have instanced
groovyhttp://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FreeMindGroovyObjectsas
the script language.

That’s just “news” for the gang. Often as not, I’m last to know such
things. :slight_smile:
