[Hidden-tech] Rudy on Rails

[hiddentec at p98n.com]

To clear up some confusion, "Ruby on Rails" is not a programming  
language, it's a framework for developing web applications that  
happens to be written in and targeted for the "Ruby" programming  
language:
	http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/

There are some analogous Perl projects; e.g. Catalyst, and Jifty:
	http://www.catalystframework.org/
	http://jifty.org

The idea of all of these is to make it easier to create web-based  
applications by providing standard methods - and code - for doing  
things most web applications need to do - e.g. authentication,  
session management, etc.
