Under the hood and working with .Net, TDD, Software Design, and Agile Stuff
...it's time to give it a serious look.
Martin Fowler wrote a piece on Ruby today called EvaluatingRuby. I've been researching Ruby and Ruby on Rails pretty heavily the last couple of months and I'm impressed. Now that I've gotten a new StructureMap release out of the way, I'm diving into a new Ruby on Rails/AJAX project on the side just to start learning.
It's more than just Rails too. Take a look at Jay Field's post on creating a Domain Specific Language in Ruby. Fellow Austinite Bret Pettichord is doing some cool stuff for web testing with WATIR.
