Crossing borders: Exploring Active Record

Article by Bruce Tate, 10 pages, 45 minutes.
Tate seems to have become a big fan of Rails. Which makes him a good candidate for explaining some of it's benefits. In this case he focuses on Active Record, the persistence layer of Rails. There is not a web interface in sight, as all interaction is done through the command line or through Rails internal console. This really helped to not get side-tracked by other features of Rails. The article ends with a short summary of the Java RIFE framework, which didn't provide any value to me. But up until that, the article was well worth the time.
