After a trial of using RoR to develop a new website, I could really feel what and how they call Ruby is a programming language of please. It’s so easy to use and change people’s mind on development. I think the reason why RoR becomes a buzzword due to the contemporary client-side web development playing an important part of the development phrase. Technically speaking, RoR simplifies the boring process of website development: also according to DRY principle. Moreover, the build-in AJAX support is inspiring too.
Have you ever seen the recently movie Red Cliff the 2nd episode directed by John Woo? It tells a story about Three Kingdom period of ancient China. One of the main actor in the movie is called ZhuGeLiang who is well-known and prestigious as a strategist as well as politician in Three Kingdom period. What he said I quoted “Life is colorful if you know everything a little”. That’s true. Back to the scene we just talking. RoR is a good technique that everyone is encouraged to learnt, not because it makes you happy, but also because it changes the way you gonna be happy.
