ActiveScaffold - The Ajax Scaffold for Rails

Posted in: Cool Tech by Marko on Monday, May 28, 2007 @ 7:07 pm

Gone are the days of writing the same old CRUD functions (create, retrieve, update, delete). Thanks to the Rails framework, Ruby developers can now get the entire administrative part of their website with couple of lines of code. This is significant given that developing the administration screens takes about half the total project time, yet it is boring and repetitive.

Rails provides the scaffolding right out of the box, but ActiveScaffold takes it up one notch with its Ajax frameworks. Check out the demo and the official website.

I can't belive how much time I waisted in the past on writing the CRUD code.
