First Rails App Shipped

Monday, June 27 2005

Today I launched a project I’ve been working on pretty intensely for the past week and a half. I took a perfectly good (arguably) ColdFusion application and rebuilt it from the ground up in Ruby on Rails. My goal was to match features exactly, but I couldn’t help but toss in some subtle Ajax improvements as well as clean up all the URLs for the app (more after the jump).

I’m super pleased with the outcome, and the entire process of the rebuild.
