From: Bob Batzinger Date: 2008-07-16T05:28:07+09:00 Subject: Re: What was YOUR first Ruby Project My first project was a database engine project for a graduate course in database server design. It was pure delight to build the classes and extend them as the term progress. The testing facility of the language became an excellent way to ensure that all enhancements to the system did not break anything. However, I was stung and disappointed when I came to the part of interfacing my db engine to older protocols. I discovered that the DBI interface was not as mature as I had thought it was and much of the documentation online was in a form of Japanese that could not be easily understood using Babelfish. ;-) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
