Talking about Ruby on Rails

Stuart Halloway conducted on tutorial on Ruby on Rails development at last month's SD Expo. Before his tutorial he spoke to Kevin Carlson about how far Ajax development has progressed, and some of
likely hurdles it faces. Stuart sees Rails as the web-development platform best suited to clear those hurdles.
You can hear their conversation on the SD Show Daily site.
In other RoR news, the upcoming 6.0 release of NetBeans IDE 6.0 will support Ruby on Rails natively. Sun's Roman Stroubl posted a quick video demonstrating the creation of a simple database-driven web app. The beta for 6.0 should be released around květen or červen (otherwise known as May or June).
Of course, if you want a great Rails dev tool, you don't have to wait to download RadRails, which Aptana is integrating into its own Ajax-focused IDE.
BTW, O'Reilly's RailsConf in Portland, Oregon this květen is already sold out, but the organizers are compiling a waiting list to gauge how many more people may wish to attend.
