Researching Ruby on Rails
If mail clusters aren't geeky enough for you (see the preceding section), try this tip: Lion Server comes with built-in support for Ruby on Rails (www.rubyonrails.org), an open source language and framework for creating web-based applications. Mac OS X Server comes with several Ruby on Rails component packages (called gems in Ruby-speak), one of which is the Mongrel web server.
Apple has information about developing Ruby on Rails applications here:

Apple also has some information about deploying Ruby on Rails and the Mongrel web server in the Web Technologies Administration PDF document, available here:
