The top story on IBM developerWorks is none other than Fast-track your Web apps with Ruby on Rails. It’s a very nice, quick overview by example of why “Ruby on Rails is taking Web development by storm”, as David Mertz writes. He also has a particularly pleasing conclusion:

The best thing about Rails is that it fosters a whole “Rails way of thinking,” since it comes complete with all the supporting code you need. This is a big plus over other toolkits and frameworks that just give raw materials to work with. Rails development offers you a clear path from a half-formed idea to a fully functioning Web application.

Those conventions are more than just a better solution to configuration, it’s also a path through the jungle. Or a highway. Ah, no. A rail road. Yes, a rail road.
