Ruby on Rails and J2EE: Is there room for both? Real short developerWorks article that compares the patterns and components in RR and J2EE. (I havent used RR but have read a few tutorials and so on, looks interesting, but also distracting, one thing of note - Odeo is a Ruby on Rails app, hmmmmm.)

Someone wondered about Odeo being Ruby on Rails. Wednesday, May 18, 2005 Help Wanted: Web (2.0) Developer We're looking for another top-notch coder to join Team Odeo on a permanent or contract-to-perm basis, ASAP. Our main application uses Ruby on Rails, so either experience with that or the ability to learn quickly is required. However, more important requirements include: * Extensive experience developing web applications, especially the back-end of high-scalability, consumer-oriented sites * Thorough knowledge with web standards, such as XHTML, XML, JavaScript, HTTP * Strong data structure and OO-design skills * A penchant for test-driven development * Helpful experience includes: Python, Ajax, RSS, web services, media/audio processing, Flash, and thinking up ideas that are just wacky enough to work * Interest in joining a risky, by-the-seat-of-the-pants startup with minimal bennies, in exchange for tons of impact, minimal bureaucracy, and some decent upside potential About Odeo: We work hard, but keep sane hours (not a sleep-under-your-desk startup), use agile development processes (though we could use a little more), have an office with a view in San Francisco (right next to South Park), tend to prefer Macs (but it's okay if you don't), and are going to change what's in people's ears (and between them).
