The year that was…..

This was a special year for me in many ways. This year marked my return to full physical fitness and I have decided to move on. I have made up for most of what I missed during grade 11 and 12.

But there is something I love better, programming. So I am going to get back to that. This month was the least productive in this year as I had to draft applications and so on. I have finished all of them and hence I can sit back and allow the “luck” part to take over.

Well let me describe the iLugHyd meeting on the 30th of December.

The ROR session (I am a bit bored by the excessive importance ROR gets and Django doesn’t). The very same cool features of Ruby and the Rails framework (I have to admit, really cool features) were stated all over again. I won’t bother stating them here as a google search lands you at a webpage that does this Django vs. ROR thing quite well.

I am instead compelled to talk about the shortcomings of the rails framework. The CEO of rknowsys told me that rails was bad at handling transactions and J2EE I suppose walks away with this one. Web applications like ebay therefore cannot be created in Rails.

I was also told about the number of users trying to pull data from the database. Seemingly, the more the number of users the uglier it gets with Ruby.

There really needs to be a Django session in Hyderabad.

Oh BTW, TWINCLING Society has a session on Distributed Computing on the 5th of January.
