Workshop 8: Ruby on Rails Workshops Report and Evaluation

1. List what you consider to be the three strengths of Ruby on Rails workshop series

    I consider the 3 strengths to be:

    • we can study Ruby on Rails via step by step and clear guiding workshops is an effective learning method.
    • we can learn Model–View–Controller (MVC) from workshops and describe how to use MVC in Ruby on Rails development environment.
    • Ruby on Rails is an open source web application framework that has database, application server, and programming environment.

2. List what you consider to be the three weaknesses of Ruby on Rails workshop series:

    I consider the 3 weaknesses to be:

    • there was some syntaxes issue in the workshop’s program.
    • there was some dead link in workshop provided tutorial.
    • there was not enough relationship between RED team (Developer) and BLUE team (IT Infrastructure Manager).

3. List what aspects of Ruby on Rails workshop series that you found to be most difficult.

    The most difficult aspects were:

    • to setup the Ruby on Rails version compatibility.
    • to understand the MVC architecture in Ruby on Rails.

4. List what improvements could be made to the Ruby on Rails workshop series:

    Improvements I would make include:

    • double check the tutorial link and source code whether is workable
    • descuss and analyse the Mobile Web service framework technologies with Ruby on Rails

5. Reflect on your experiences with the other Web framework used in this subject: Was it effective? How can it be improved? Should other Web frameworks be used as well or instead of Ruby on Rails?

    I have an experience on using Microsoft .Net, SQL Server and IIS to do the online booking system. It is effective and good to study a new technology. I suggest to use Netbean IDE (http://netbeans.org) for Ruby on Rails development, because it can verify the code syntax and user friendly. The ASP.NET MVC Framework should be another choice for this subject.

6. Did the Developer’s or IT managers Team that you joined after workshop 4 have a preference towards using other tools to facilitate collaboration? Comment on the differences between these use of the sub-forum or Interact wiki tools from your experiences in this subject.

    As I work in Developer’s team and the communication and collaboration were important during the workshops.

7. Further comments to add?

    I want to thank all my collegues and thanks Jonathan to introduce me with Ruby on Rails.
