I spent 3 weeks to understand Ruby way in web development. The main goal was to learn Rails<\/a>, so I bought Russian translation of he book The Rails Way<\/a> . What a pity, the book based on Rails 1.x, but current version of Rails was 2.3.5, therefore I decided to throw out these useless papers pack.<\/p>\n

The Rails 2.x itself looks like complex, but too monolithic. The is no easy way to do something out of Rails way. You cannot use other templating system, other ORM.<\/p>\n

The much pretty framework is Merb<\/a>. Really modular system. Slices – good things. But Engine Yard<\/a> (who employed Yehuda Katz<\/a>, the lead developer of the Merb<\/a>) decided to finish supporting Merb – in favor of Rails. I understand their position, because the Rails community much more than Merb community. Therefore the work on new Rails version will be better for Engine Yard business.<\/p>\n

What we get? Merb will be dead. Rails 3 will include some parts of Merb (see the Katz’s blog<\/a>). I won’t spend my time on Ruby until Katz publish Rails 3. Sorry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
