Firework on ROR Launches
Thursday, January 3rd, 2008So I’ve had a cms project called Firework in progress for a number of years. We use this CMS for our 2 main websites, WDC and Wakeboard UK.
Originally we used ASP with Sql Server and MySql, we then migrated onto ASP.NET with SqlServer, and most recently we have switched to Ruby on Rails. This switch was born out of the requirement to reduce after-hours programming, and to increase the enjoyment of any such coding I get to do. Ruby on Rails gives you a certain freedom to cut code without the overheads of ASP.NET, and with that freedom comes fun 
I’ve finally got round to setting up the Firework homepage after wrestling with setting up an Ubuntu VPS for the purpose configuring Apache, MySql, Ruby, Gems etc from scratch… ah the joys of deployment.
See what you think and any suggestions on Firework tweaks are most welcome.
