Once again, O’Reilly has some good Rails coverage: this time about the impending Rails/Ajax convergence.

Also on the topic of Rails: can you smell the fear? The Java community certainly seems to be on the defensive. Though, I guess to be fair, Rolling with Ruby on Rails threw down the initial gauntlet.

Lastly, if you are using Ruby or are just interested: you should really be reading Why’s Poignant Guide. If only because it’s hilarious. Doubt we’ll be seeing a Java rebuttal for this!
