ONLamp.com: Rolling with Ruby on Rails

ONLamp.com: Rolling with Ruby on Rails
“Maybe you’ve heard about Ruby on Rails, the super productive new way to develop web applications, and you’d like to give it a try, but you don’t know anything about Ruby or Rails. This article steps through the development of a web application using Rails. It won’t teach you how to program in Ruby, but if you already know another object-oriented programming language, you should have no problem following along (and at the end you can find links on learning Ruby).“

Thanks to TRB, a new Ruby fan, for pointing this out.

During down time, your screensaver runs some distributed processes from the Google net.

Just a thought.
