Whoa. So you sit down and watch The Office and 30Rock for one second, and you miss out on things you've been waiting for for months.

What is this I speak of, well Rails 1.2 final of course! Now everyone afriad of running Edge can have beautiful built in RESTful routes. I've been running Edge since around September, and getting RESTful has been the best thing I've done since moving to Rails for most projects. It comes highly recomended from this lowly developer.

The other thing we got today was Prototype 1.5 final, which has been a long time coming. Along with that comes, drumroll... DOCUMENTATION! Yes, we all love prototype, but we all had the same problem, how the heck can I get what I want out of it without reading the source! So after a ton of work from Sam Stephenson and Justin Palmer we now have a great place to peruse the library that saves us all a ton of time.

Using Rails, I dont find myself writing much javascript TOO much these days thanks to helpers and RJS, but it still totally handy, AND MUCH NEEDED!

Thanks goes out to Sam, Justin, DHH, Rails Core and all the rest of the patch submitters. What a great start to the year. I think its gonna be a big one.
