Ruby on Rails Scalibility

Many a times,I have come across this question in workshops and seminars,does Ruby on Rails scale?

Read these blogs,I would write more on this soon.But a simple answer is yes,with a correct combination of software and hardware.And most importantly,write good code.

Learning Ruby – A Ruby tutorial by Satish Talim

My good friend, Satish Talim has put together an excellent site – Learning Ruby.

This is based on his Ruby study notes made while he studied Ruby himself, from various online Ruby resources like tutorials, blogs and Ruby documentation. A site I would definitely recommend for Ruby newbies.

Those who are interested to learn the language,this is a good starting point.Happy coding.

PuneRuby Group – 373 members and still growing

The PuneRuby group that Satish and I started in Nov.2005 now has 373 members.If I am not wrong,we are one of the biggest Ruby groups in the world,if not the biggest.

Kudos to all the members.And this happened in a span of less than a year.

You can find more about the group here.
