ONLamp article on Rails

I spoke too soon when I said it was out of date in places. I had noticed
that page 3 lists an abstract_application.rb in the file menu and figured
all the instances of controllers inheriting from it were going to have
the abstract still there which is not the case. So I actually retract
my assertion after combing through it looking for out of date things.

It was written a little over two months ago – eons ago in rails-time! About
two weeks ago I re-did all of the screenshots to bring it up to date. I must
have missed that one instance of abstract_application.rb that you mentioned.
But I’m glad I didn’t miss anything more substantial.

It’s awesome. Thanks so much. A great service to rails.

Thanks… now if we can get it slash-dotted, that will really bring Rails
(and Ruby) some seriously deserved attention!

Wonderful! Thank you! I might get through this without trowing my hands in the air! Great service to beginners like me.

About being up-to-date, the article is based on Rails 0.9.2 and mySQL 4.1.7. When I downloaded this today (eons after the article was written..) I got Rails 0.9.4.1 and MySQL 4.1.9. Does the disclaimer about compatibility between Rails and MySQL still hold where the security panel settings of MySQL are concerned? I'd rather have MySQL password protected if possible...

Thanks again,

Luc

The recent changelogs for Rails say that it now works with MySQL's new
authentication, so that that part of the article probably *is* out-of-date.
Although, I haven't personally tried it, yet... so, let me know if it works
for you.
