Two of Top 2007 Technologies

Filed under: Technology — neal @ 7:08 am

ComputerWorld named the hottest five technologies to know about in 2007.

We’re using two of them:

  1. Ruby on Rails.
  2. Amazon’s S3 and EC2.

However, we didn’t switch to them because they are voted “hot” technologies; we’re using them because they solve problems for us. In the case of Amazon’s offerrings, they empower us to do things we couldn’t have afforded to do otherwise. Ruby on Rails makes our engineers’ lives easier (at least until they need to look past the magic of ActiveRecord to speed things up). Thank you to the collaboration that has made these technologies possible.
