I've been playing with Ruby on Rails by reading and executing example from this book and it seems to be a really nice thingy I must admit… I guess there is a huge amount of behind-the-scenes overhead, but on the other hand, the speed-up in development process is just stunning. Not having to write these input-checking code stuff over and over again is sooooo nice..

Also, I'm using RadRails IDE and find it much better than TextMate which is thought as a default editor for Ruby on Rails programmers, because it integrates all the necessary tools into one development environment. Currently at version 0.6.1, it's a very promising development and I'm looking forward for a next version release.

Ever since I have first found out about Ruby on Rails I was eager to at least scratch the top of the new technlogoly. But yeah, no time (well, on the other hand I had some time to play my PS2 games, but.. that's not THAT time, right?), and actually no books to learn, and being pretty busy at work - just didn't have a chance. But today I finally got a chance, and my book on Ruby on Rails arrived.

So, I have setup the Ruby on my local Apache server and ready to jump into the whirlpool :)
