Example of Section 1 of the report Problem formulation: When is Ruby more efficient than statically typed languages for developing solutions in consulting organizations? Definitions: Ruby is a dynamically typed programming language, not requiring compilation of the source code. The type checking is performed dynamically at run-time. It is fully object oriented and runs on a variety of platforms and different runtimes. With statically typed languages we mean programming languages where type checking is performed at compile-time. Examples of such languages are C++, Java and C#. This report will mainly focus on comparing Ruby with Java. By when I mean for what kind of tasks/problems/projects and with more efficient being a measure of the total development time taken from complete requirements to a production ready system, such that a more efficient language will solve the task in less time than whatever language it is compared with. A consulting organization is in this context seen as ……XXXX Consulting AS is an example of a consulting organization, and is used as case in this study. Motivation: The Ruby programming language has been increasingly popular and marketed as the “next big thing” in some enterprise environments the last couple of years. Environments where statically typed languages like Java and C# have been the dominant languages of choice for many years. I feel that much of the information given about Ruby is presented in a very biased way, so this report aims at looking at evidence and evaluating some of the Ruby languages claimed advantages. XXXX is an enterprise consulting company located in Oslo and Trondheim. They have for several years mainly focused on delivering solutions developed in either Java/J 2 EE or C#/. NET. They are currently trying out Ruby in a few projects, and will be used as main example study in this report. The author or this report has been an employee of
