Ruby on Rails

This evening I left the TV off and headed into the unknown world of Ruby. Ruby is a fairly new programming language for the web. Through good old Google I found InstantRails. This allowed me to quickly install Ruby, Rails framework, Apache web server, MySql database, and PHP onto my laptop. I spent the next 3 hours without hardly moving from my chair as I worked my way through the tutorial. This new language is amazingly powerful. It allowed me to develop an application that normally would have taken many nights with other languages. Needless to say I am impressed.
