Free response and reflective questions:

5. Reflect on your experiences with the other Web framework used in this subject: Was it effective? How can it be improved? Should other Web frameworks be used as well or instead of Ruby on Rails?

Overall experience has been very good but there were some problem initial which took more time to be settled i.e. installation with vista.This is a good framework if its fixes its problem with vista.


6. Did the Developer’s or IT managers Team that you joined after workshop 4 have a preference towards using other tools to facilitate collaboration? Comment on the differences between these uses of the sub-forum or Interact wiki tools from your experiences in this subject.

I would have preferred a centralised forum as it is provided easily avialble information with all the related topics.
