Well, it’s a few short weeks into it and I’ve been working away at Ruby on Rails. After the initial set-up, this has been an amazing experience and I’ve only just begun.
This is an incredible framework and once I master more of the programming, I’m itching to take this to the next level and develop a new site utilizing the power of Ruby. The most likely test-bed will be a new variation of my personal site.
From my intial work, this is a programming language NOT for general use. The trend in web design is going toward more and more dynamic elements which means that the guys who design the websites of the current and future will not be the casual “oh-I’ll-just-buy-Frontpage-and-make-a-site”. Rather there will be the high-end custom design experts and a ton of TEMPLATE-driven web solutions being peddled as the next best thing. I could say a lot about my personal opinion of 95% of web template systems (not too favorable)…but the trend is there and there are some (I emphasize SOME) that seem to be doing it well.
From my initial work and research, I see Ruby on Rails becoming my defacto site developing tool-set. The power and relative ease (once mastered) is incredibly attractive.
