Ruby on Rails & Frameworks - Please advise

Rails
1

Hi there,

I’ve had just about as much as I can take dealing with Java and
configuring these massive frameworks, so they run, for a short while,
until I make one tiny change, and bang, they crash and burn again.

I have to develop quite a complex portal with books published online,
mailing lists, content management and forums. I was wondering if anyone
knows of a ruby framework, perhaps, that makes this a simple and easy
process.

I look forward to hearing your comments.

Thanks,

SparkySpider

Yeah

there is an awesome framework called SQLonRails

check it out

http://www.sqlonrails.org/

if you want to see how easy it is watch the screen cast at
http://www.sqlonrails.org/screencast

good luck

maybe a few s… pages of source code!”

@Sparky:

Rails is a framework written in the Ruby language. It’s capable of doing
what you want to do… just learn Ruby and you’ll be good to go.

I was more thinking on the lines of something like Liferay, Textile,
Mambo - only on rails instead. Ideas?

I have a feeling you’re looking for a ready made application rather than
a framework. Have a look at http://radiantcms.org/ - it’s open source
and rails based.

There is a nice overview of Rails Content Management Systems over at the
Unofficial Ruby on Rails Blog:

I’d personally recommend Radiant. :wink:

I’m glad someone posted that, I was looking for it a while ago. It’s
great!

Jeremy et. all,

You guys are wrong… :slight_smile: Some people will not be knowledgeable enough
to know that SQLonRails is a parody. Although, the SQLonRails
screencast IS a riot if you done much webdev. 74000 lines of
autogenerated code. WOW :slight_smile:

you can implement the example on their movie at
http://www.sqlonrails.org/

the data download for the Internet is a bit bigger now, as the internet
has
grown a bit latley with all the video start ups like youtube etc…

use a download manager and the leave it running over night…or just do
what
I do, and download the entire internet from work…

It’s not that funny if you have used any of the [Insert J2EE tool
vendor name here] development suites lately… 74000 lines is about
right. sigh.
