  •  "It's really only practical in cases where you have complete control over the database schema or you're doing a new 'green field' application," Monson-Haefel said
  •  The interest in Ruby on Rails is fueled in part by a larger trend toward scripting languages that aim to replace Java or Microsoft's C# language. Scripting, or "dynamic," languages such as Python, PHP and Ruby are simpler to learn, according to analysts and developers.
  • Ruby on Rails allows developers to build interactive Web pages using the AJAX set of development techniques.
  •  The vision of Ruby on Rails, or RoR, is to combine the speed and ease-of-use of scripting language PHP with the "clean," structured approach of Java, Hansson explained. That combination makes code quick to write and easy to maintain over time, he said.
  • There is currently one book on Ruby on Rails, but seven or eight are being  written now. The first conference of Ruby developers last year had 60 people;  this year there were about 200, the majority of whom were doing commercial  development, Hansson said. He predicts 800 attendees will be at next year's  conference.
