welcome
another ror fan. nice. truly to do agile dev, nothing beats it. but imo, ror is great as long as you do simple crud operations. but once you plan to do larger implementations, with lots of business logic & other operations, its not so easy; the curve gets increasingly steep; just like any existing mvc archs.

and tell me is it truly 3 tier? can the model and controller exist on separate machines?

yeah… the curve is not linear. it cant be.

ummm… model and controller can run on different machinces.. but controller will need the db definitions, which makes it pseudo 3 tier.

hmmm…
hmmm… why would the controller need the db definitions? all it needs is to decrypt the action from the view and send it to in a model understandable message to the model. all it needs to be is a glue. so the level of glue is debatable; it can be a layer or can know very much about the view and model too.

not exactly if i were to put in some business logic i would definitely use a sql package to care of that aspect wont it?
