- There are many technologies that web users take for granted yet can still take a good deal of effort to develop. Shopping carts, forums and interactive user interfaces are obvious examples. Increasingly, people have sophisticated expectations and web site providers want greater functionality. Some want Web 2.0 experiences. Many expect a modern web site to provide 'rich' user interfaces. Soon, people will want to use their OpenID identity to streamline purchases and request services.
- Implemented well, good technologies inspire confidence and provide substantial benefits for both users and providers. Web developers who are able to deliver these technologies stand to gain new customers, reinvigorate existing customers and differentiate themselves from competitors.
- Clearly, anyone who can leverage a stable, productive web framework that supports both standard technologies and emerging technologies, has an enormous competitive advantage. Ruby on RailsTM is the best web framework. Well executed solutions can be developed faster, will be more robust and demonstrate new competences. Ruby on RailsTM is free / open source software.
