Re: Getting a pulse for Ruby On Rails on i

My question would be: Why ? :-)

You have RPG, PHP and Java and of course .Net.

Do you see any inherent benefits in terms of ease-of-use ?

subject: [WEB400] Getting a pulse for Ruby On Rails on i

Hi all,

I am curious if anybody is running Ruby On Rails on IBMi for any purpose - in particular I am curious if anybody has used it in real-world applications and not just academic.

I know Pete Helgren has done so in the past. Here is a thread from 2009 on that topic: http://archive.midrange.com/web400/200912/msg00132.html And here is the site Pete started: http://railsoni.com

There is also this site: http://www.midrange-ruby.com

Here is a database connector though I haven't been able to tell if it would work with RoR in PASE: http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubyibm/

Thanks,
Aaron Bartell
