<em>Introducing the technology behind this web site.</em><br /> <br /> This web site is using a relatively new and upcoming web site framework called <a href="http://www.rubyonrails.org/">Ruby on Rails</a>.&nbsp; It is based on the <a href="http://www.ruby-lang.org/">Ruby language</a>, 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.&nbsp; 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.<br /> <br /> 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.&nbsp; That&#39;s what I have done by writing this site with it.<br /> <br /> For more information, see my latest <a href="http://del.icio.us/dburry/ruby">Ruby</a> and <a href="http://del.icio.us/dburry/rails">Rails</a> bookmarks. 2007-12-19T02:58:03-06:00 2 4 2007-12-19T02:58:03-06:00
