Ruby on Rails, or RoR, is one such feature that has enabled
developers to produce web - based applications with remarkable speed and ease, making the
development of common application functionality less painful.
This is a great move in the right direction, and many developers have since made the transition to such
languages to further lessen the strain that was ever present with languages such as C++ or Java, but it
doesn ??™ t provide a be - all - and - end - all for applications development as it still means having to learn a
new technology. What ??™ s more, despite the surge of new technologies that have been appearing, you can
see that they are only really of benefit to desktop or server - side web development, while the client side
for web applications remain firm with Flash, HTML, JavaScript, and VBScript, for the simple reason
that older browser technologies have a greater coverage on users ??™ machines. This means that, while we
now have a larger choice of tools for creating our applications, we are perhaps further segregating our
development team members and forcing possible rifts into our software stability and production
timescales.
