I don’t know about the rest of you but I get the feeling that Rails has  
become the new PHP.

@sateesh: I suggest you talk to whoever assigned you to this ‘real  
time’ project so that you can gain some modicum of domain knowledge - a  
real-time project for what? doing what?

In order to make any progress, you’ll have to know the requirements.  
Once those are in-hand, define the actors in the system, and consider  
developing a series of sequence or timing diagrams that refine the  
requirements into something you can write code to satisfy. Then figure  
out how you intent to test this application, and write your tests first.

It sound like you have a good ways to go before even thinking about  
application code.
