'Hosting a Rails application is dead simple thanks to mod_rails... simply scp/ftp it up to your server, set up MySQL etc, boot up Apache and you’re off!'

'Enjoying and reflecting on the process of building software, web applications and web sites has really helped me personally and gives more context and experience to draw upon.'

'To really understand a set of tools its often useful to see the problems it was built to solve. In the case of Django they had a combination of ’content people’, designs and developers on short deadlines to produce interactive web applications for World Online. It’s really well suited for many government organisations and content heavy sites as you can build data models with really elegant content administration features (DIY CMS) and be populating data whilst building out a really rich site to explore and browse.'

'Django is another well-known set of tools for building web applications.'

'Use of Rails also benefits from a level of awareness that other tools don’t have. It’s not only that it’s well known but in the eyes of many it means innovation and trying different approaches... which you can often use for your advantage when trying to get new projects off the ground.'

'Rails is a very webby framework—support for REST, XML, JSON and all those things are not only baked in but embedded in the ideas of the framework'

'Rails is most suited to the user and the system itself generating content. It’s not geared towards building sites where you have slabs of content and 'content people' around which you’re building a site.'

'Cultural Awards 2008 was a site that was built in a similar fashion, diverging from anything the LGSA had built before. Luckily for both Agency Rainford and LGSA we were given the creative freedom, accountability and responsibility to help build something *we* thought would be perfect, which turned out really well and enabled the Cultural Awards to receive more entries, press and recognition than it had ever had.'
