Building the code based on another application in a different language is a very good idea in my humble opinion. It lets you focus on the new language and a little less on the planning and design aspect. Sounds similiar to what I’m doing by re-working Vance Auto. All the best to you too. I’m sure I’ll post about Vance Auto if and when I finish it.

God bless.

Yeah Matt, chances are I will use it on my site at some point. It’s actually based off of an app someone did in another language, but I figured it would be a good example to try out in RoR. Not sure how soon before it’ll be complete though.

All the best with re-doing the Vance Auto Sales site. That seems like a nice way to start out and I’m sure you’ll do a really good job. Let me know how it goes.

Thanks Yannick. Rails is a nice framework. Good luck with your portfolio app. Do you plan on using it on your website?

I’ve started re-doing a site for my dad’s business. It currently uses PHP, but I want to make a much nicer Rails version (mainly I want a good database and admin interface). So far, I’ve only migrated the database files.

Good to hear from you…take care.

Hey Matt,

Enjoy RoR! I’ve been playing with it on and off and it is a nice framework to use. Just like you I haven’t built anything really yet. Just for the fun of it though I started working on a little portfolio app. Hopefully I’ll get it done soon, so at least I can say I did something with Rails. I do hope to learn more about Rails and Ruby though as time permits.

Anywho, you take care. Peace and God bless.
