So had the bright idea of trying to start a little project working on a website with Tony. After looking at a few web frameworks, it's pretty clear Java is pretty garbage. Ruby on Rails looks really nice, but it's really only meant to be used on the Unix environment. This is going to be interesting since I have pretty much always developed in Windows and all my machines have Windows installed on them.
Anyway, first plan, get Ubuntu. Turns out you can get a Ubuntu installation to run just a Windows service (sounds great!!), though i'm pretty sceptical about the performance...
Next step, get Ruby on Rails. Seems pretty simple to install and get an application server up and running. Should be done in no time!!! (no doubt I'll be blogging tomorrow about how much I detest Ubuntu).
