I was reading my posts from 2007 (Wow, 5 years ago, a lot has changed) about Agile programming and Ruby on Rails (RoR). Although I used RoR on only 1 project, it seemed a great thing because at that time things such as Spring Roo did not exist. Now with a simple Roo script, followed by some Java code touch-ups one can achieve the same kind of flexibilities that RoR provides using an industry proven language on an set of industry proven platforms (WebSphere, Weblogic, Tomcat, JBoss, etc....) with little risk and reusing our existing farm of coders/developers. Wow, long live Java. Is there a real need for RoR, I don't think so. Except perhaps for legacy reason! HA HA HA! Please contradict me with your comments. Just keep it civil. When I have time, I shall write an entry illustrating the above Spring Roo example. In the meantime you can look at the example roo scripts in the Spring Roo distribution.
In this blog you will find topics of interest to computer and network performance, software development especially on Java and stuff related to other interest of mine such as VOIP, open source project, network protocols, strategic business planning, photography etc.
