Feed Description: All about the full-stack, web-framework Rails for Ruby and on putting it to good effect with Basecamp
I'm incredibly proud to present the first public release of Active Record — an implementation of the pattern by the same name for object-relational mapping. I've entitled this release Three-Quarters to reflect the fact that Active Record has been in production use on Basecamp for more than three months and used during the many months of development before that. Additionally, it's been used by around five beta testers in a number of different projects. So even though I'm not ready to declare it 1.0 out of the gates, it is indeed a solid release.
It also marks the first step towards releasing the web-application framework Rails, which I've been hyping and talking about for some time now. Active Record is the model part of Rails and contains around two-thirds of the code in the framework. So if you want to get ready for making Rails applications, it's a good idea to familiarize yourself with Active Record.
Further more, I'd like to extend my thanks to Luke Holden, Jamis Buck, Aredidel, Guan Yang, and Lau Tårnskov for helping me make this release a reality. All your help and suggestions have been much appreciated!
