Flash Remoting for Ruby on Rails
I have never written an app with Ruby. I am a cf’er all the way. That being said, if a client came to me and said we really want to build this website and we wont pay for the license of Adobe ColdFusion, I would probalby build my firt RoR app.
I really like Flex! and I am amazed by how simple it is to use ColdFusion as the back end for my applications. But I am also very happy to know that were I to have a reason to build a RoR, I would not be out of luck if I wanted to connect to it from Flex.
Today WebORB annouced another addition to their product line up, WebORB for Ruby on Rails.
From the WebORB blog:
Much anticipated release of WebORB for Ruby on Rails is here and it is beautiful! The product is free and open-source and does really wonderful things for integrating Flex and/or Flash Remoting applications with Rails. We implemented both AMF0 and AMF3 protocols as well as added support for service deployment via standard Flex configuration file (remoting-config.xml).
So apparently this solution will also be free and open source which I am always a fan of. So if you are a flex or Ruby Developers I encourage you to check out this software to help you connect your projects.
This is unnecessarily bad ass. I love it.
I need to learn RoR; as much as I love Java, RoR seems like a worthy addition to my toolkit.

how sad and heavy of heart I feel on hearing this news.
Yet another RubyOnRails dagger being driven into the heart of ColdFusion. Stop already with the slings and arrows!
I a client won’t pay for a CF license, use a CF hosting company. Some companies have really get rates for CF Enterprise.
