Web Site Technology Used Here

Introducing the technology behind this web site.
This web site is using a relatively new and upcoming web site framework called Ruby on Rails. It is based on the Ruby language, which is a simple, powerful, and easy to use truly object oriented language that kind of reminds me of a cross of all the good things from Perl and Java without all the bad things that irk professional programmers all the time. The Rails framework on top of Ruby adds certain conventions and libraries to make things easier for the technical person who wants a fully custom site but without all the hassle of doing something from scratch.
I strongly encourage those who are interested in new and upcoming web site technologies to check it out, and pick a project to try it out on, and get yourself familiar with it. That's what I have done by writing this site with it.
