Episode 13: Ruby in Practice

Ruby has been getting more and more attention by the developer
community over the last couple of years. Nevertheless Ruby as
language and as a plattform is not too widespread. Most developers
don't know people who have actually done commercial Ruby projects.
Therefore it is sometimes hard to judge if Ruby is just a hype
topic or if Ruby can be used for serious projects today. In this
episode Alexander speaks with Thomas Quas about a commercial Ruby
project Thomas finished a while ago. Thomas shares his insights and
practical experiences with Ruby doing a project under strong time
pressure. As Thomas has many years experience doing Java projects
we also do some high level comparisons between both platforms.
