Scene: Walking on the beach of the Oregon coast with Dad
Dad (after having his heels trodden upon several times): Karl, please watch where you’re walking, OK?
Karl: I’m just following in your footsteps…
Dad: That’s fine Karl. Just let me get out of them first.

Rails 1.1 is here.
Dion Hinchcliffe, of ‘Web 2.0’ fame, writes on the importance of Rails, and this release in particular, here.
At the recent Ajax Real-World seminar, Dion interviewed David Heinemeier-Hannsen creator of Rails. In the interview David covers some history, recounting why he created Rails in the first place, what Rails aims to achieve, and what we can look forward to in the 1.1 release. You can watch the interview here.

A fellow developer sent me this link late last night. I confess I haven’t laughed as hard in a long time. Till I cried. After reading the first 2 or 3 sentences, I thought that this guy must have been writing on his 3rd or 4th pint in the wee hours. Whether or not he was, his diatribe is informative, insightful and at points killingly funny.
The comedy has as lot to do with hitting the mark, like David H. Hannsen did recently on
his blog with this little piece of Java code whose humor is inherent:
UploadedFile uploadedFile
= (UploadedFile) fileUpload1.getUploadedFile();
String text = uploadedFile.getAsString();

I have had a number of people ask me recently about how to get started with Rails. Of course there is the Rails Book and the Pickaxe Book. But in addition to these, Digital Media Minute has compiled a helpful list of 12 tutorials which they have found to be the most useful in getting started. Beginning from the top of list, and following links according to your questions and interests should take you a long way.
Within these tutorials, you will even find discussion of RDT and RadRails , the plugins which enable you to do Rails development in widely popular open-source IDE, Eclipse.

Apple recently published a nice succinct tutorial on Ruby on Rails on their Developer website. Of course they point out that all members of the Rails core development team work with Macs. I have had the pleasure of working with several top notch Rails developers and in my experience they all do use Macs. I reckon it is same love for simple elegance applied to program development.
Reading over this article I get feeling that they have been spying on me. I too use TextMate and I recently set up Lighttpd to run on my PowerBook G4 to complement my RoR test environment. Their references for setting up Lighty in this article are the same ones I would recommend:
We will have more on Lighttpd in coming posts…
