How to Introduce Ruby on Rails in Your Company

Started by Fred Brunel · 10 months ago

I’ve been using Ruby on Rails for 6 months now and I find it great at what it does. I used it for personal web projects but soon I realised that it would be of a great value to use it in the company I work for.

I’m in the high-tech wireless gaming business. We [... ... Continue reading »

    That's a very good news, I'm pleased you found it useful. I would appreciate to hear some feedback about your presentation.

    We now have two projects in my company being developed with Ruby on Rails, I'll soon have real figures to show up regarding productivity.

    Thanks. I didn't know about SlideShare and RoR, well I'm not surprised in those times.

    The thing that amazes me are new usages of Flash. It's truly becoming an alternative to platform-specific plugins...

    Your service is great!

    Nearly 3 years later I find your article just as applicable. Thanks!

    I just converted the site www.jruby.net to a poor man's content management system that I wrote with JRoR (JRuby on Rails). I reference your excellent article on it.

    I added an appendix to your points specifically for the JRuby aspect:

    - Operations people will like that JROR can run on your existing Java web servers (be it JBoss, WebSphere, WebLogic, …).

    - Operations people will again like the simplicity of deploying your Rails app using Warbler (copy a single .war file).

    - Managers will like that you can leverage your existing Java logic (now that is really DRY)

    - Everyone will like the snappier performance that JRuby brings as the rumored premiere Ruby environment (I’m spreading this rumor).

    I would be interested in any experience you have with JRoR.

    Hi Steve,

    Thanks for the nice words, I'm glad my article was useful.

    You're points are absolutely valid and using JRuby would have been a lot easier for me to sell the solution, but at the time but it didn't exist.

    I've never used JRuby in a production environment myself, just as an experiment.

    That said, I'm pretty YOU can share your valuable experience with it, I haven't find a lot of articles about it.

    Thanks again.
