Making Tracks with Ruby on Rails

DN — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 20:14:41 +0000

With a unique name as Ruby on Rails, users can expect a programming framework that delivers extraordinary performance. The elusive creature was created by David Heinemeier Hannson launched in 2007. Ruby on Rails is best known as an easy to use programming language tool used to develop web applications. The popular tool, also referred to as simply Rails or shorten to RoR, is best known among web developers as being among the best open-source web frameworks for developing an array of applications. The integral framework is best comparable to the Model-View-Controller (MVC). With its increasing popularity, many web hosting providers are still not equipped to support Ruby on Rail; however, several other hosts accommodate the programming language.

Ruby on Rails aims to make the task of developing web applications less daunting and time-consuming. Tens of thousands of users and developers find that the application is simple and provides for real-world solutions utilizing meta-programming with minimal code and configuration required. Ruby on Rails strives to promote convention versus configuration; successfully succeeding in its mission.

Ruby on Rail Web Hosting Options

While Ruby on Rails is relatively a new programming tool, several web hosts provide support to both seasoned and novice users. Among the leading web hosts to offer such support is Site5. The web hosting service provides Ruby-friendly features such as FastCGI, EdgeRails and Switchtower/Capistrano ready. Basic web hosting packages start at an affordable $4.95 per month.

Lunarpages is also a top pick among developers for Ruby on Rail. Offering FastCGI on every server, shell access, excellent customer support, forum guides and money-saving coupons with business plans starting at $19.95 per month, it’s a popular reliable and affordable option.

BlueHost is another favorite among users. The web hosting provider accommodates Ruby on Rails with remarkable uptime rates, shell access, quick and easy development of new applications, and a vast wealth of installed Gems. Basic professional hosting packages begin at $5.95. HostMonster, a product of BlueHost, is also a good option for those looking for hosting providers that offer Ruby on Rails support. HostMonster provides useful reference material to get started using the programming tool, as well as efficient servers, secure shell access and quality customer support. Basic hosting packages start at $5.95.

FatCow is also considered to be one of the best web hosting providers to offer Ruby on Rails support at an extremely affordable price of $3.67 per month or $51.00 per year. Users also take advantage of such features as load-balanced architecture, vast script barn and SSL secure server.

Conclusion

While there are numerous other web hosts that offer Ruby on Rails support, it’s important to realize that not all are capable of supporting the framework. If your web applications demand that you use Ruby on Rails, before choosing a web hosting provider, inquire as to whether or not the provider is able to accommodate all of your hosting needs.

Make Sure Your WebHost Has the Right Programming Languages and Software

DN — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 10:44:26 +0000

Ten years ago, hosting a dynamic web site was hard. There was a lot of planning that went into it, and the software that was used at the time was far from being the best tools for the job. Even for a veteran web master. This was around the time that PHP was just being created, and Ruby was a niche language that had no rails to go with it. Your options were either to use Perl or C++ and create a CGI gateway. Now things are a lot different. With the advent of programming languages and frameworks that were built with the web in mind, you are able to create a large and fully dynamic site quicker than ever. Besides the abundance of programming languages that are built for the web, there are also a large amount of premium and open sourced software solutions that will help you create a fully functional web site very easily.

The first thing that we should look at, is the programming languages that are used to power the Internet these days. Not counting huge sites such as Amazon and Google, we have four main technologies that are used to create web sites. They are PHP, ASP.net, Django, and Ruby on Rails. You will see some Java based web sites as well but that is not common. Perl used to be the king of all the languages when developing a dynamic web site but in recent years, it has really been pushed to the background. They still have a niche but it is not used in newer sites as much as the others. If you are the creator of the web site, then you know what technology you used to create the site and what host will fulfill that purpose. If you had someone else create the site, then you must be sure that the host you pick fits the requirements that you need. If you pick a host that doesn’t meet the criteria, then that can lead to a lot of wasted time and money.

There are certain software packages that people who host their own site expect to see. For example, if you are hosting your web site on a Linux based system, then you expect a CPanel layout to control the server. Also, you expect that CPanel layout to have software such as WordPress and Drupal, ready to be installed at a moments notice. This makes it easier to get a dynamic web site running, especially if you are new to the web and owning your own web site. You also want to make sure that your web host has the most updated software for these packages. You do not want to run into a security hole as soon as you install something.

Making sure your web host has not only the right language for your needs but also the right software packages, is very important. Without the features that you need, your experience can be an undesirable one. The web host should be a partner in your endeavors. They should want to accommodate you in all of your needs and if they can not, find someone who can.

Open-Source Software to Watch for in 2009

DN — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 21:11:42 +0000

(From Website Hosting)

When big companies launch their new commercial software, they do so with press releases, conferences and other hoopla that adds to the hype. When new open-source products are introduced, even some of the popular ones are launched with far less fanfare. The community involved with this type of software are usually too busy developing and testing their projects to roll out all the bells and whistles that come along with a marketing campaign. This is often the case with some of the most remarkable programs. Although we have already zoomed through a good portion of 2009, there are still a number of big open-source projects that have yet to be released. We have gathered up some of the most notable in this article.

New Linux Platforms

Linux fans have a lot to look forward to as there are major plans in the works for this open-source operating system. Already launching Ubuntu 9.04 in April of this year, the Ubuntu development team is also looking to introduce 9.10 in October 2009. Some of the new features promised are integration with Amazon’s EC2 API, which will allow users to set up their own cloud with open tools, and a kernel mode for enabling a seamless, flicker-free startup. In addition, Red Hat is slated to release Fedora 11 sometime this summer, complete with many new updates. According to the developers, the system will boot up and shut down faster and also include improved support for fingerprint readers.

Scripting Tools and Languages

In December of 2008, the development communities of Merb and Ruby on Rails made an agreement to merge instead of maintain parallel development initiatives. Their goal was to preserve the advanced features and flexible configuration of Merb along with the ease of use and enhanced productivity that has made Rails such a hit among developers. Called Rails 3, the new project will incorporate various features and concepts of Merb, including its JavaScript libraries, object relational models and template languages. Although Rails 3 didn’t make its May 2009 beta release date, developers may want to keep their ear to the ground to see when it does hit the market.

More Open-Source Projects to Keep an Eye On

MariaDB – This project is a community-developed branch of MySQL. The brainchild of Michael “Monty” Widenius, MySQL AB and Monty Program AB founder, the database is said to be powered by the Maria storage engine.

CodeIgniter 2.0 - Designed for coders who desire a more user-friendly and elegant toolkit, CodeIgniter 2.0 is a PHP framework that leaves a minimal footprint and allows developers to create full-featured web-based applications.

Dojo 1.3 – This tool set is an all-in-one solution for developers who need to create dynamic web applications, particularly those who want to become masters at DHTML and JavaScript coding. Said to be released in the very near future, Dojo 1.3 offers a new lightning fast CSS selector query engine as well as all new widgets and components.

There is a slew of open-source software projects set to hit the market and we haven’t even scratched the surface. Others include software for mobile platforms, business apps, enterprise collaboration and many more. With so much on the plate, there is bound to be an open-source application you’ve been looking forward to coming very soon.
