Just a quick mention that Ruby on Rails version 1.1 has just been released, adding some really awesome new features that will continue to make life even easier for web developers everywhere, yes, including even you. Some of the niceties include Javascript templates, to make your AJAX more swishy, JOINs and other fancy things have been added to ActiveRecord, and integration testing to help make your sites more solid - solid as a rock, you might say. Go forth and update, young padawan.
