Rails Goes 1.0!
Well, I must have been working too hard today (on a rails app), because I totally missed this until the evening. Ruby on Rails has officially gone 1.0.
Thanks and congrats go out to all the commiters out there for their hard work, and everyone that submitted bugs while I spent that time learning the libraries :)
Rails is one of those rare things I find every 2 - 3 years that puts the excitement back into what web development. Using an MVC architecture has never been so elegant and so fast!
I love what I do, and its projects like Rails that keep it that way.
I need to learn more about this. I keep hearing about it over and over and have yet to take the time out to really get my hands dirty. In one line… whats the big deal?

Its a modern web development framework. It uses data abstraction by favoring conventions over configuration, so you don’t need to configure a ton of XML files to talk to your DB. Doing things this way decreases development time by multiples. At least it has for me. Its also extremely agile in that you can extend your appliction easily and quickly. Using Ruby, it makes programmers happy :)
Ruby is a really elegant OO language.
