Elevator pitch 1
May 27, 2009
I first touch computer language when I was in university. I use Java in most of my assignments. After graduate my job duty is email server administrator. Programming or software development is not necessary, but I still need to develop some tools on maintaining Lotus Domino using Java. In my mind software development still need a long time to develop thousands of functions to retrieve data from database and store data to database, at the same time take care of security issues. That’s why I felt shame that I understand what means by framework just until this course.
Ruby on rails is the first framework I ever use. While using Model-View-Controller design pattern, computer coding are separated into three parts to isolate three different purposes: data access, business logic, and data presentation. The code is much more easy for troubleshooting, and develop time are greatly shortened. The most powerful part of Ruby on rails is database Activerocord. The only thing we have to set is database connection. The remaining parts like database schema, data access, or table creation will be handled by ruby on rails. It will even automatically generate user interface on displaying the data. Developers can concentrate on the business logic, much development time are saved.
Though I’m still green to framework, I would really recommend to use framework in building E-Systems.
