PIONEERING NON-PROFIT RAILS FOR ALL ARRIVES TO LAY UNIVERSAL TRACKS FOR RUBY ON RAILS

WINTER PARK, FL (March 15, 2007)...Rails For All, Inc. - one of the few non-profits devoted solely to the advancement of a Web development platform - today announced the official launch of Rails For All. Founded by developer Robert Dempsey, Rails For All strives to make Ruby on Rails the platform of choice for any developer or business interested in building an innovative, user-focused, database-backed web application.

Designed to meet the needs of both the development and business communities, Rails For All helps businesses of all sizes realize the benefits of using Ruby on Rails, provides a hub for knowledge-sharing, and connects businesses with top Rails developers. The organization's first goal, according to Dempsey, is correcting one of the most common misconceptions about Rails.

"Rails is not just an ideal platform for smaller companies," said Dempsey. "With Rails, large corporations can create advanced, scalable Web applications their customers will love - in less time and at a fraction of the cost."

Sensing that this information was potentially invaluable to many companies who might never hear it, and recognizing that no channel existed to broadcast the message, Dempsey took it upon himself to create awareness.

"I realized many people had no idea Rails could transform their ability to engage customers on the Web," he said. "Languages like Java are supported by corporations with the means to promote them. Rails didn't have that kind of built-in network. So I set about creating it myself."

That vision, fueled by a passion for innovation and firm conviction that Ruby on Rails could help people create more with less, convinced him that the solution was a junction where Rails professionals and the businesses needing their expertise could come together.

"I knew that, once equipped with the facts about Rails, the business community would quickly and eagerly adopt it. The results companies already achieve speak for themselves."

Rails For All relies exclusively on other Ruby on Rails advocates like Dempsey for both content contributions - case studies, demos, and anecdotal evidence - and financial sponsorship. For more information, visit http://www.railsforall.org/.
