To Do List....

DEVELOPER’S THREAD (RED team)

To Do:
Developers conclude their work with the OTBS and look at the options for deployment of the site. Examine the various platforms/software tools used for deployment such as UNIX environment suggested in the Discussion Notes, Mongrel or Mongrel cluster, Nginx, Subversion or Capistrano (during development stage), JRuby in the Java environment.

Which way?

The choice is up to you as this workshop present just one option and you may like to use another, such as deploying the OTBS in a .NET or J2EE environment

Can you get the OTBS Running in production mode as a minimal production server?

Share your success by posting progress comments and links etc to the Developers sub-forum site that has been set up for the Red team.

Answer:
From Workshop 1 to 8 and From Exercise 1 to 26, I learn the concepts of e-commerce and online applications gradually. Especially, I feel interested in Workshops as it is related to the new technology namely ROR. In these workshops, I know the MVC approach, scaffolding, convention over configuration. At the end, I study intensively about user authentication and registration.
In this workshop, I would like to select Linux as the platform since Linux is freeware and stable comparing with MS-Windows. Also, I would like to use Mongrel or Mongrel cluster to install in the platform and running the OTBS. Mongrel is also a free middleware in ROR. In all my workshops, I use mongrel so I am get used to Mongrel and my skillset is built on Mongrel, although there may be another better choice.
Yes, I can get the OTBS running in production mode as a minimal production server in my office Intel Xeon machine.
I feel my studies on ROR and e-commerce are successful. For detail, please read my blog at http://itc594josephc.blogspot.com/
