Canada on Rails: Tooling Rails

Tooling Rails

I have RadRails on my system, it’s pretty nice. Used Eclipse at my last job as my primary Java IDE, so maybe I’m brain damaged

  • Dev include a lot of Mnt. Dew
  • J2EE require tools to keep up
  • Rails does not, but can be made better with tools
  • all comes back to control, with J2EE you give up control, you no longer can figure out what’s going on.
  • RadRails is a joke on RAD systems that take away code, 95% code gen leads to 5% comprehension of system
  • Less code is not no code
  • Put the dev in the driver seat, but give him all the buttons he need close on the dashboard
  • Then he gave a demo
  • Lot’s of interest from the commercial world, just don’t get it about open source (RadRails is CPL).
