Ruby on Rails 1.0 is out!
It’s finally here. Ruby on Rails is now offically on the 1.0 release and they have a redesigned web site as well.
If you haven’t checked it out yet, now is a great time to give Rails a test drive.

file_column to the rescue
I haven’t had much time to post lately as I have been working late nights on a consulting project for a small publishing company in town. Last night I needed to build a image upload feature into the site. Well…actually another image upload feature. I had already build the functionaity for one area yet it wasn’t abstracted enough for reuse.
Striving to maintain the DRY princple, I started look for another approach and I cam across file_column written by Sebastian Kanthak. WOW!
First off let me say that plugins in Rails 1.0rc are incredible. No only did I get the feature implemented, but now I have all the additional ability to do thumbnails and other RMagick effects. Thanks Sebastian!
Yet again, what would have taken hours, if not days, with .NET, I completed in minutes due to flexibility and simplicity of Rails and the availability of open source.
