“Viewstate is back. Now new and improved on top of Rails. acts_as_aspdotnet overrides form_tag to put a hidden variable that contains loads of crucial processing data on every postback that will fill your server pipes with more glorious bandwidth.”

Ruby vs. .NET Video
This is part 2 in a series of articles on converting both your mindset and your ASP.NET web sites to Rails. Inside I hope to help anyone coming from a .NET background that is looking to create new Rails apps, or migrating existing ones.
Before we go forward, I assume that you have [...]

I am trying to learn Ruby.
Trying to get out of the development rut I’ve been in.
