- S1m0n, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Ruby on Rails 1.0 has been released. From David Heinemeier Hanssons post on the Rails mailinglist: "Rails 1.0 is mostly about making all the work we've been doing solid. So it's not packed with new features over 0.14.x, but has spit, polish, and long nights applied to iron out kinks and ensure that it
works mostly right, most of the time, for most of the people.". Kevin Bedell is also blogging about it on O'Reilly Network. - batv0r, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Just started using Ruby on Rails this semester for a systems analysis and design project. I prefer it over VB.net (which the majority of students are using) because there's so much less code to write. The first obstacle is learning the MVC structure and learning that you don't need 5 lines of code to connect to the db because the infastructure is there.

http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/articles/2005/12/13/rails-1-0-party-like-its-one-oh-oh - dvdgee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1you can do the same stuff with PHP. you can do the same stuff with Perl. you can do the same stuff with ASP, ASP.Net 1, ASP.Net 2, J2EE, Python, and anything else you can think of. Rails, however, does most of the annoying setup for you. I built a MVC webapp once using ASP w/Visual Basic and XML/XSLT. I was a pain in the ass compared to Rails, although Rails does differ a bit from my previous understanding of MVC frameworks like Java Struts.
As for, does Rails do everything a J2EE app can do, that I don't know. Is there built-in support for transactions and the equivalent of EJBs? I dunno. Is it necessary for the types of apps Rails will be used for? Probly not. - spludge, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Another host:
http://railsplayground.com/ - standsolid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1go and buy agile rails development -- issa good book
- Singee15, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Those developer example WOULD be made on a mac.
- jesusphreak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0MVC rules once you get used to it. You start wanting to use it for everything...even a PHP app or something that you might build.
- glassjoe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The world will never be the same.

Is better... - Brightside, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Just starting running some ruby on rails stuff, typo, to be specific, which I think is very cool. Anyways, I've updated rails and hope things only improve!
- pr0t0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I've done some pretty involved stuff using LAMP, but I would still charactize my abilities as beginner to intermediate. Watching these videos of RoR just blows me away. I have no idea what's going on though.
What I'd really like to see is not a 5-min video on how someone creates a flickr, but a 30 minute video on how you can create a flickr in 5 minutes. What software are they using? My Unix shell capabilities are...well they aren't.
Still, I'm fascinated. Anyone know of a RoR for n00bs type of tutorial. - spadin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0With Ruby on Rails, I mean, of course.
- jesusphreak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The website has alos been improved quite a bit. It has a lot of great examples of implementing Rails and just about anything else you can find useful.
Rails is now picking up momentum that no one can stop. - kiteflyer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0a bit of Ruby culture

Great support and uses cpanel - snowboarder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That guy that does the videos is annoying. He says "Whooops!" No matter if it works or not.
- kleinishere, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0that's wonderful its finally here! i really like the new site as well. everyone digg this!
- Squeegy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Now the wide acceptance begins and jobs for web developer start listing Rails as required. The invasion has begun.
- Kam3k, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"I remember seeing it somewhere, but isn't there blog software similar to WordPress and such that is written with Ruby and/or Ajax? Might be an interesting use of the language."
Yes, its called Typo and it's awesome: http://typo.leetsoft.com/trac/ - bede, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Typical! Just as I buy the book, they upgrade!
Seriously, I'm having loads of fun learning RoR and it is the easiest development framework I've yet come across.
To Pr0t0, for a n00b tutorial try http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/01/20/rails.html - boristheblade, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I don't understand what the fuss is all about. Can I not do the same stuff with PHP ?
- lambda, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Nice looking site. What is the advantage of this, over, say J2EE?
- Killerdeath, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0God, that guy in the video is soooo annoying. "Whooops!" Someone should make a YTMND out him him saying "Whooops!"
- Kilkonie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'm always leery about host providers; most of them are just reseller accounts on a major host. Here's a Ruby-supporting host company that's not a flakey "we'll give it to you for free cuz we like ruby" site:
http://www.networkredux.net/
(I'm always happiest when my host gives me ssh access.) - sproutworks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0DreamHost has Rails support. They also increase your disk space and bandwidth limits every week. If you sign up tell them sproutworks sent you :)
http://www.dreamhost.com - batv0r, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0lambda: coding is so much easier and quicker and you yield the same results.
- ThePharaoh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I remember seeing it somewhere, but isn't there blog software similar to WordPress and such that is written with Ruby and/or Ajax? Might be an interesting use of the language.

- Anekdoten, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Whoops, I dont have a clue what the guy in the videos did but it looked cool :)
- DJSdotcom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The IDE/text editor they're using is called TextMate (www.macromates.com/) and it's for Mac OS X. It's not specific to RoR apps, but it is pretty amazing. I use it for XHTML/CSS coding all day long.
- geezusfreeek, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Rails is the cleanest, easiest way to make a web app I have ever seen.
- spiderland, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3***** the blog post. Give us the actual content.
- spadin, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Anyone know where to get an economical (cheap) hosting plan?
- theGREENsuit, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0heinousjay:
Maybe they think they're doing us all a favor, thinking that we wouldn't hear about it if it wasn't for the 10 RoR stories every hour.
I dunno.
I wish there was a way to ignore stories based on title keywords. - heinousjay, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0What is it about Rails fanatics that makes them act like Apple zealots?
I mean, I use apple. I use rails. But I don't feel the need to annoy the rest of the world into doing the same. I can't bring myself to be that kind of *****. What about you guys? Why don't you have a problem being *****? - KicktheDonkey, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0Maybe some people should complain about this post... After all, Ruby on Rails is AJAX-ified...
- bebopredux, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0"Ruby on Rails"
"Ajax"
Every freakin' day. SOS.
Puhleeeze. Enough already.
