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.
