Which toolkit to choose for a web GUI (in ruby)

wrapster · 01-16-2009, 11:54 PM

Hi all,

I have written a couple of libs for my Networks project and Would like to provide a web based gui for it.
The fix is that I dont know which toolkit to choose to start with my work.

Secondly I want a toolkit where i can program in ruby only...
ROR is not an option at all,since there is no need for a DB in my project.

I also looked at qtruby,fxruby but they are all just app GUI toolkits ,not what i want.

So can anyone please help me out with this?

Thanks

I think if you want to use Ruby in this fashion, you need to use RoR. Just because you don't need a DB doesn't void RoR. AFAIK, there are no other mature products to deliver what you want.

You should use the tools that makes sense. Limiting yourself to Ruby only for the sake of Ruby is just nonsense. The Google Web Toolkit looks like a great package to checkout for the UI portion if you're that adamant about avoiding Rails.
