The largest upgrade to the latest programming craze was released, and contains more than 500 bugifxes, tweaks and features. More info over at the Ruby on Rails blog, or read 37signals post about it (easier to understand…)
For those of you that have heard about Ruby on Rails but not too sure what its about, Rails is an open-source web framework that Ruby, a progamming language, runs on. Rails was invented by David Heinemeier Hansson from 37signals.
Rails is a full-stack framework for developing database-backed web applications according to the Model-View-Control pattern. From the Ajax in the view, to the request and response in the controller, to the domain model wrapping the database, Rails gives you a pure-Ruby development environment. To go live, all you need to add is a database and a web server.
Go check out rubyonrails.org for more info. The site alone makes you want to pick up Ruby on Rails and start programming with it!
I haven’y fully grasped RoR yet, but it’s definitely on my to-do list!
