I'm looking to start developing a simple task management application
with a web interface.Three views - User/Admin/Status. No database yet
as i think that would be overkill. I intend to store the data in xml
files for the moment.
My question - i am pretty new to development. I have been working as a
qa engineer for some time and have good unix skills but have only ever
really played with java/perl with no great success. Have had enough of
wishing for applications or features. I'm going to write my own.
I would appreciate any pointers the group could offer. For starters i
am unsure if i should develop in vanilla ruby or implement ruby on
rails if it is to be a web application. My initial thoughts are that
learning ruby will be enough for a start but that i may have to use
some MVC model??
I have hosting with dreamhost which supports ruby.
I am currently expanding the spec and a simple UI which i can post
when complete if people think that would be useful. Its based loosely
on basecamphq but more aligned to the organisation i work for and i
would hope to make it very portable.
Many thanks for your time,
Eain
