Why Rails?

Thursday, August 11 2005

A couple people have commented and emailed me, asking “So, how’d you go from ColdFusion to Ruby on Rails? Can you talk about that some more, maybe give some tips?”

So, without delay and from my own personal perspective – my reasons for taking the plunge with some tips for newcomers as well. It’s verbose, and isn’t comprehensive, but it’s a start. I’d rather share now, and then share more later, than simply wait for later.
