Technology for Resource Mint
August 31, 2007
We never talked about the technology we are developing Resrouce Mint in. Here goes…
We started with Ruby on Rails and MySQL, with loads and loads of Javascripts and cross-browser compatible tableless CSS. Having learnt a lot and about 20 man-days later we’re junking the CSS, Javascript/AJAX approach and switching to Flex 
(call it learning while building a product).
So now we are testing out Adobe Flex 2.
We almost also junked Ruby on Rails for JRuby and later Java, but I guess changed our minds to launch this version in Rails and Flex, learn from the experience and then at some later stage change the codebase, if need be.
More details to be posted by my colleagues.

I want to know why you want to junk ruby on rails for java.
Ultimately we can say that Java still rules all the way in enterprise as well as in the small to medium size projects.
Please tell me your views on that.
