KUAM.com on Rails

...well, not really.

Guam's News Network will be using Rails, I got the green light this morning from our executive producer to start hacking on a blogging app highlighting the behind-the-scenes goings on at Camp Happy (think allDay). I'm stoked because it'll be the first web app we'll put out based on Rails that'll be customer-viewable. To date, we've cobbled together minor admin utilities, but nothing I can link to. We'll be putting it on a different domain, which means a new application space, meaning the freedom to deviate from Microsoft architectures.

It's not like JasBlog, which I built in ASP.NET 1.1, or the mini-app I did for our election season last year. (The URL mapping's hella easier in Rails, letting us lean towards RESTful functionality.) I'm not going to attempt to set any landspeed records, although I know guys that have whipped out entire robust blogging apps during a lunch break.

More to come!
