Re: Ruby on Rails 1.0 released today: Web app development environment

I haven't used Ruby but 2 other products from 37signals
( Basecamp and Backpack ) have been mentioned as excellent
examples of best practices user interface applications.
Basecamp
is a project mangement software and Backpack is a personal
and
small business organizer.

They were mentioned in a course I am taking on Flash Based
"Rich Internet" applications and they were considered
excellent
examples of best practices in "user experience." In other
words
they are great software that is easy and fun to use.
