Ruby On Rails 1.2 Released

Scooter[AMMO] writes "David Heinemeier Hansson sent a post to the Rails 1.2. This new version adds a slew of buff and polish to the rest of the system, as well several new features like RESTful interfaces, response formats, improved multi-byte support, and more. If you haven't checked out the web application framework that aims to renew joy within its users, give it a look. You may be amazed at how easy it makes things without sacrificing power or functionality."

Allow me to be the first to say...

How to update Rails

[Marcus K]

One of the great things with Rails is that it is so easy to update. There's three easy steps: Step 1: gem update rails --include-dependencies Step 2: Press return Step 3: There's no step 3

Ruby Rails goodness

Thanks to the Rails developers!

Ruby on Rails is certainly a giant step forward in increasing programmer productivity. The new REST support is great, but I must say that the web based SOAP debugging interface made using SOAP with Rails painless.

A little off topic, but for my customer I integrate Rails with back end Common Lisp code - so far just using home grown REST support at both ends. Eventually, I would like to get the time to generate compiled Lisp libraries directly linked to Ruby when everything is runnng on a single server.

BTW, I created a simply Ruby and Ruby Rails news clipping web site, mostly for my own use, but it might be useful for you: http://rubyplanet.net/ [rubyplanet.net]
