The much-anticipated new version 1.1 of Ruby on Rails hit the streets with fanfare a couple of days ago. And while even I am wary of the hyperbole that sometimes surrounds Ajax and Web 2.0, I'm very pleased to say that Ruby on Rails is the genuine article. Rails has become one of the real success stories in Web development in just the last year. Built by 37signals' charismatic David Heinemeier Hanson and a host of contributors, Ruby on Rails has ascended to near-mainstream status nearly overnight.
For those of you not familar with Ruby on Rails, and a lot of you won't be or have just barely heard of it, Ruby on Rails is a complete, open, and free application stack based on the Ruby programming language . This means it provides a complete solution for creating great online Ajax-based software of the kind that's pouring out on the Web these days . Rails includes advanced Ajax support, Web services, an amazingly taut and clean model-view-controller implementation, and automatic object-relational mapping. Rails even includes seamless script.aculo.us and Prototype integration, as well as support for just about any database you will need.
