Ruby on Rails 1.0 Released

Simon (S2) writes "Ruby on Rails 1.0 has been released. From the announcement: '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.' " The Ruby on Rails website has also been given a new look.

Ruby on Rails is a fantastic new software-only method of transferring precious stones between countries, states, provinces, cities, and territories via train. .. .. ..

Or you could just go to the ruby-on-rails website instead of asking for some random's opinion on slashdot.

What Ruby on Rails is ...

[Anonymous Coward]

It's a new kind of digital "red" cocaine, made by processing coca leaves with iron phosphate and coating the result with a light silicone mist on which nano-transistors can be printed. The resulting product produces, when smoked or inhaled -- hence the "rails" component of the name -- a new style of e-high, where you're able to either interface hallucinogenic side effects with your iTunes graphical output, or you can join any IP-based E-HI network and select topics for your stoned brain to mull over. Watch out for the latter because, dude, the term "flame" takes on a *whole* new meaning.

Anyway, go to http://www.rubyonrails.org/ and see if you want to take part. It's amazing, and you'll definitely want to get in on it before the Bush administration starts taxing it or something ...

New Look?

The Ruby on Rails website has also been given a new look.

Would that be the "Service Unable: Damn You Slashdot" look?

Web 2.0, Baby!

The Ruby on Rails website has also been given a new look.

I'm guessing more pastels. And rounded corners.

You forgot the gradients.

Short history of web design:
95 What web?
95-98 I love the blink tag!
99-04 Numedia stripes and pics of successful corporate people smiling
05- Rounded corners, pastel gradients.

I'm sure I missed lots.

Re:It just works... mostly

[Red Flayer]

Mostly right (50.01%) * Most of the time (50.01%) * most of the people (50.01%) = 12.50%.

I'm not sure I'd want a product that is stated to work a minimum 12.50% of the time.

Either that, or maybe I need to not take the worst-case-scenario when listening to product descriptions -- though it's worked for me in the past.

Umm, that was fun... I guess.

Next question: Now what do I do?

That is one of the coolest things I've ever seen in my life! Thanks for the link

Re:Perl people, check out Catalyst

[mini me]

Okay, I did just that.

The results:

Perl - 9 jobs
Ruby - 10 jobs + additional pages that I didn't bother counting

Then again, it was a Ruby job site...

Re:Watch this video

[chris_eineke]

Okay now. That were 120 characters.

Seriously, would you rather type 120 characters than punching in CTRL+T TAB r u b y SPACE o n SPACE r a i l s ENTER TAB*17 ENTER? That's only 33 key presses and at the end you'll know what RoR is.

Don't tell me you're still sitting on you chair wondering. Gee.

Yeah, I hear a lot of Anonymous Cowards are switching to Python recently.
