Ruby On Rails Goes 1.1

MrByte420 writes "The Ruby On Rails team today released version 1.1 of the web framework. From the announcement: 'Rails 1.1 boasts more than 500 fixes, tweaks, and features from more than 100 contributors. Most of the updates just make everyday life a little smoother, a little rounder, and a little more joyful.' New features were examined back in February at Scottraymond.net and include Javascript/AJAX integration, enhancements to active record, and enhanced testing suites. Not to mention upgrading this time promises to be a piece of cake."

Re:Congratulations Ruby on Rails

Remember when folks ridiculed Java for being a silly, slow, toy that would never be ready for prime-time with no ide's and useless(cr)applets?

It seems like only yesterday, wait, it was.

Kudos to RoR...

... May this be yet another nail in the coffin of the life-sucking tedium that is J2EE.

Nobody. They're all to busy hyping it and posting on slashdot about how great it is. Meanwhile all us PHP/JSP/ASP/whatever programmers are off actually making web applications.

And images expose you to things like the WMF exploit, so let's just go back to the 1980s of web design.

I haven't heard much about Ruby since the (geek) media blitz of over a year ago. How many people actually use Ruby on Rails? I see the same thing happening with AJAX.

Its the way geeks do things.

It reminds me back in the late 90s when everything was Java!!!

It reminds me of even further back in high school.

Back then, everybody was interested in sex, talked about sex, wanted sex, but nobody was doing sex.

Same thing with Java in the late 90s and Ruby today, and AJAX tomorrow.
