Last weekend the 2008 Rails Rumble took place; the Rumble is a 48-hour competition in which teams of developers must build complete web applications from the ground up using Rails and available open-source tools. Intridea was a sponsor of the competition this year and we also fielded three teams of four developers. It was an intense weekend but in the end we all launched our applications. Below is a short summary of the three applications and the teams that built them.

Overall it was a great weekend and our teams put together some fantastic applications. In the next few days we’ll be posting more about lessons learned and the process from each of the teams’ perspective (you can see Raymond Law’s thoughts here), but for now we all need to go catch our breath! Thanks to everyone organizing the Rumble and to all the other competitors for making it a great and memorable weekend.
