Ruby on Rails Releases Version 1.2

Newspaper

current event by markmcb on 19 January 2007, tagged as webdesign

David Heinemeier Hansson, the creator of Ruby on Rails announced version 1.2 on the framework's blog. From the blog, "We got the RESTful flavor with new encouragement for resource-oriented architectures. We’re taking mime types, HTTP status codes, and multiple representations of the same resource serious. And of course there’s the international pizzazz of multibyte-safe UTF-8 wrangling."

Aside from the new stuff, the respond_to method now allows you to specify formats by adding ".xml" or ".rss" to your URLs. Add in the fact that all of this automatically caches and plays well with map.resources to ensure that everything just works and 1.2 is quite the impressive release.

As the popularity of Ruby continues to rise and the major releases of Rails keep coming, perhaps Ruby on Rails isn't the fad that so many people claimed it to be.

If you like Rails, check out Grails by varnerac :: NR0

There is not question that Rails is a trail-blazer. However, there is a similar framework on the J2EE side of the house, Grails. It uses the same Coding by Convention design. The underlying mantra of Grails is DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself). Grails leverages existing J2EE frameworks like Hibernate for Object-Relational Mapping and Spring for an MVC web architecture. If you have an investment in J2EE or need to leverage things like distributed transactions, check out Grails.
