EventSpan and AT&T Yellow Pages: Listings in Ruby-on-Rails

EventSpan, created by Aperio Networks, has been developed in Ruby-on-Rails, a newer, sophisticated framework designed specifically for developing web applications.

The development team at Aperio uses the Ruby-on-Rails framework for all of our web-based application ventures and we've been developing in it for over two years. Ruby-on-Rails has increasingly become the development choice for some prominent web startups, and today Ruby-on-Rails received a major validation as an excellent web development languauge: AT&T chose Ruby-on-Rails to power its new YELLOWPAGES.com site. Like EventSpan event listings powered by Ruby-on-Rails, so too are the yellow page listings from AT&T on the new site.

Says AT&T in its press release today about the Ruby-on-Rails powered YELLOWPAGES.com:

"The new platform was developed using the advanced "Ruby on Rails" development language rather than traditional Java code."

"Developing in Ruby places YELLOWPAGES.COM on the forefront of development environments and puts the site in a position for rapid development and the fostering of a stimulating work environment for our growing development team," said Brad Mohs, chief technology officer for YELLOWPAGES.COM"

"This new YELLOWPAGES.COM site takes what is already the most preferred Internet Yellow Pages to the next level and is the foundation for even more advancements to come -- both on the Web and across platforms, including wireless and even TV," said Janice Rohn, YELLOWPAGES.COM's new vice president of consumer experience"
