Forgot to sign the post... Sorry about that... and I wanted to end it with an inquiry to see what everyone else's opinions were? Tim Knight ... curse ... make ...
Aside from the obvious slams of MBAs and consultants (http://www.bileblog.org/?p=64) I have a slightly different perspective on Zed's message. Essentially the...
Hey Steve, Hope you have been well. I spoke about using Rails with OpenLaszlo at the first Rails conference, and I think that rich UI's have their place,...

Man, I am so bummed that I'm going to miss this month's meeting. I'd love to keep the conversation going on Rails, Java, and Social sites, etcetera. Although...
Mike, it's funny you mention Delphi since I had a lot of experience doing Delphi apps and still maintain one written 10 years ago. I built a quoting system...
