So I’m doing a school project in Rails. But they force us to use UP as  
development process.

Any suggestions on how to get started with Rails in sort of UP  
fashion? I really want to start coding, but I know that’s not quite in  
UP’s spirit 🙂

While it’s true that “the Rails Way” favors and enables all sorts of  
agile development processes, that doesn’t mean that it isn’t usable in  
other development methodologies.

It will fit UP just fine as long as you do what UP instructs you to do:  
model, specify, design, implement, test, and deploy. If you model and  
specify well then you should be able to roll out and implement those  
Rails models and controllers in a jiffy.

Hello Christian. I am not a big specialist in UP, but i have found that  
robustness analysis is very suitable starting point in rails  
development.  
It’s a reach source of various actors and artifacts if a blank list and  
a  
few use cases is all that you have. Also it’s in good coordinate with  
MVC  
(however i’am not a pattern master yet).  
I’am using a netbeans 6.0 UML plug-in as a primary CASE tool and vim for  
coding.
