Me, myself, and my code.

Ridin' on Rails

25 June 2006

Well I’ve fallen in love.

I’ve spent the last week planning development of Foxnight.net.

Final conclusion? Foxnight.net is obsolite. The functionality can and should be worked into JosephBauser.net.

So I’ve started a redesign of JosephBauser.net and managed to develop a simple layout that I think I can finally be happy with. As a part of this redesign, the site will be reworked from a simple PHP app, into a bit more robust Ruby on Rails application.

As a part of this process, as can be imagined, I’ve learned quite a bit more about Ruby and Rails. I’ve spent the last few weeks frequenting the Rochester on Rails users group, and can’t help but getting more and more excited. Such a powerful and easy to understand language, combined with such a balanced framework like Rails is a dream to work in.

I do have a development schedule for this rework, but that will stay my little secret for now.

I can’t wait to see how this goes.
