Widget

rubyonrails-talk

I am very new to Ruby.

Is there a way to create a Windows Widget that resides on a desktop and allows direct access to a database..

For instance

I can enter name and email on my desktop and hit submit. It will then be directed to an existing database?

I am trying to create a email database with ease of use for the consumer?

Thanks

This might get a better answer if it was posted on the Ruby forum. This is the "Ruby on Rails" which is a little bit more specific.

I don't know about Windows as far as making something that sits on your desktop that you can click and have it start up, etc. The rest of the task of getting input and putting it into a database is fairly easy to do with Ruby and one of the "ORMs" which is the glue code between Ruby and the database engines.
