Ruby On Rails 2.0 Launched
By Reshma Kumar at December 10, 2007 0 Comments
Ruby On Rails Version 2.0 was released on Friday. Rails or RoR is a free, open source application framework using Ruby programming language. It is aimed at increasing the speed and ease with which database-driven web sites can be created. Ok, I am not a hard-core programmer so I won’t even begin to try to interpret the changes in v2 but here is a listing for those of you who can decode this:
- Multiple Controller View Paths - Rails now supports multiple view paths for each controller
- SOAP has been replaced with REST - SOAP is considered too complex and RoR is more focused on building REST-ful applications
- Improved Security features - to protect against phishing with provisions to guard against cross-site request forgery (CRSF) intrusions and cross-site forgery (XSF) attacks. Improved testing support and backing for Atom feeds critical to application updates
- ActiveResource feature added - which encapsulates web services and makes them as easy to use as databases. This is similar to the ActiveRecord feature for encapsulating database calls in Rails
