Status: preparing a new site
Wednesday, January 7th, 2009To give a status update - this site is by no means abandoned - I’m preparing a relaunch of the site with full features and more content. The new site is going to be based on Ruby on Rails (2.2.2), the current site still is PHP. I worked on a commercial RoR project in the meantime, and after letting it sink in I decided to switch. Not that I ever loved PHP that much, the question was using a J2EE platform instead… RoR does have its own issues, definitely (come on, to believe the Rails application should take care of all data integrity, instead of e.g. using (foreign key) constraints in the database… hint: it doesn’t work in all (runtime) cases), but to sum it up, I decided to go for it (and I put the constraints into the DB manually 
- a very simple one-time effort only anyway).
