is ruby on rails (or at least the community) dying? -
this honest question , not trolling.
as newbie rails i've been search rails resources. i've been noticing many sites apparently once popular being abandoned. examples:
- http://www.softiesonrails.com/ - last updated feb 2010
- http://www.therailsway.com/ - last updated aug 2009
- http://nubyonrails.com/ - last updated aug 2009
- http://www.railsenvy.com/ - nothing there now
- http://edgerails.info/ - last updated feb 2010
am coincidentally going wrong websites/blogs (even though they're top hits on google) or rails community dying off? if happen going wrong sites can please point me updated sites?
ruby on rails hype. means lot of people jumped on bandwagon because do: jumping on bandwagons (for living).
after hype, many communities popped up, in various languages mimic rails. or try to. or took ideas , applied them community. have gazillion halfbaked php-frameworks, , few ones. have django (python), zend, symphony (php) , in ruby, alternative frameworks. has spread attention. there used 1 framework (sic.) there many.
that said, rails 3 has been released. rails 3 cutting-edge again. has ingredients nosql (the one-but-latest hype) html5 (the latest hype) , many javascript-frameworks , interactions (the next-to-be hype).
that said, rails not hypes. fantastic framework. still active community around it. @ github, , visit trending repo's there once in while , see great rails thing there every week.
