New Rails Site: FanNation
Posted by Mike Blake Thu, 21 Sep 2006 17:25:00 GMT
The folks at FanNation have done something that no one else in the sports world has done.
I spent some time with the developers at FanNation working on the map on the home page. They are a sharp bunch, and I’m constantly amazed at the features they are adding each time I visit. Fannation is now one of the biggest websites around developed on Ruby on Rails. Tag clouds, in place edits, Dynamic news updates using AJAX calls, personalized blogging. This site is a tremendous example of practical usage of some of the latest technologies. And it’s loads of fun.
There’s tons of other functionality I haven’t explored yet, but definitely keep an eye on FanNation!
Thanks Mike for the help on the map!
