Rails 7: The Demo

[Akitando]

The 15 minute Blog from 2005 was mighty impressive back then, and to this day there's still not many solutions that can accomplish the same this easily without a lot of tweaking.

I used RoR to build a few side projects. About 8 years ago was the last time I worked with Ruby On Rails, and since then I've been focused on backend development at my job. It's amazing that I can still understand this demo without any problem. There are some changes, e.g. how js is imported, and the live updates support. But it's like old friend and everything is so familiar, including the Textmate editor and the theme... Over the years I gave react/nextjs a few tries, it's too complicated for me or I didn't try too hard. I think I will come back to RoR, for my next project. Thank you for evolving the RoR and keeping it simple!

As a CE student in my final year, the things that I see being developed in RoR and Hotwire just blow my mind. This is very inspiring and by working on projects using this tech stack I have learned and understood a lot.

I am going to build my next project on Rails. Thanks for the amazing work.

Thank you for keep doing this all these years!

Thanks for this! Teaching Rails today, really fun and happy with the javascript approach, beginning students really get demotivated by all those front-end frameworks.

Gonna have a fun time teaching this to students.

I've been developing software professionally since 1990. I've written code in dozens of languages over the years and Ruby on Rails is by far my favorite.

This is beautiful... I make a living off rails, and so glad to see the passion here...

All what has been achieved for RoR7 looks great. Well done again for helping the community and taking the time to prepare&present this intro to RoR7. Thanks all the team and individuals that have made Ryby & Rails possible.

Not only is Rails good and getting better, David is also a great teacher. This demo is better than most of the tutorials out there.

God do I miss developing in RAILS 🥰 Thank you so much for creating it DHH 🥰

[harryuan]

Just FYI:
I was following the steps, and rails crashes after uploaded the image with "Cannot load vips",
you need to brew install vips first

🏆The hot-wired comments bit takes me back to your Canada-On-Rails (Vancouver 2006) demo. I think you called it Armageddon back then 😆 Bravo, thanks David!

[vinimartinson]
