The special thing about this app is that it also makes some webservice calls, something that isn’t as obvious as it is in C# - you don’t have the wsdl tool to create the proxy class for you. Well, Ruby is a fun language to code in so I’m sure that the lack of a few things here and there will not be much of a problem (I’m sure some of you nod your heads with a “yea right” look on your faces :) ).
