Rails Rumble Voting

with one comment

Last weekend Rails Rumble took place, which is where teams of developers attempt to write an entire web application in a weekend. It is a testament to the power of Ruby on Rails that professional quality web applications can be built from scratch in just a couple of days, and more development teams should attempt to work this way.

Next week I’ll review each of the applications in more detail to look at how the lean development process worked and didn’t work in each case. For now however, consider going to vote. And I’d ask you to consider voting high for the Bartender application – it’s a Mancunian team, and the perfect accompaniment to a bank holiday weekend.

    1. Thanks for mentioning our entry Paul, it was a really fun weekend.

      We are going to try and keep the app live after the competition ( http://bartenderapp.com ) and i think most of the teams will do the same.
