Soa on Rails
Now that this deadline is out of the way I can start focusing on Ruby on Rails again. I have a blog mostly working with it. Just need to finalize the login scheme and polish up some features. Development time is just amazing with it. I got a complete WordPress replacement in a matter of days. And that’s with the learning curve and me redoing it several times. I wrote my own scaffold generator, so I just make the table and run a few commands and we have an entire MVC (Model-View-Controller) CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) backend. And not a completely ugly one either. I wrote my own so I could have very complex forms and such. It now takes me minutes to do what used to take hours in PHP.
Hopefully we’ll relaunch No-Homers on that platform in the next few weeks. Only thing really holding me back is the interface for the admin. I suck at interfaces. The frontend is looking good though, thanks to Template Monster. So if anybody has any grand ideas for a backend interface, don’t be shy.
