By the way, RUP is IBM's "Rational Unified Process", a methodology for project development. IBM makes a bunch of tools under the Rational brand for project management.

Bare Naked App is a weblog about the development process of a webapp. I was following it a while back, but I've since forgotten about it until I read this blog post.
