Top Ten Reasons to Love Ruby on Rails
October 16th, 2007 | Author: admin
Joe McGlynn from CodeGear wrote a great article for Dr. Dobbs Journal.
He lists 10 reasons to love Ruby on Rails. The first reason really resonated with me since I’m a systems architect, and I understand the dangers of over-architecting solutions
“1. Many line-of-business applications do not require over-architected, complex and costly software systems to operate. Over-engineering applications increases costs, wastes time and dilutes competitive advantage. Rapidly-constructed software applications that deliver essential functionality with good scalability and low maintenance costs are easily achievable using Ruby and the RoR framework.”
Check out all 10 reasons in the DDJ article.
