CodeGearâ„¢ Releases 3rdRailâ„¢ - The Powerful Integrated Development Environment Built Specifically for Ruby on Rails

Monday 17th September 2007

SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif. - Sept. 17, 2007 - CodeGear, a leader in developer tools, today announced the general availability of its new integrated development environment (IDE) for Ruby on Rails (RoR), the open-source framework written in the Ruby programming language and popular with next-generation Web developers.

The new product - CodeGear 3rdRail - was announced on the opening day of RailsConf Europe in Berlin.

"CodeGear's new 3rdRail IDE represents an important step in tooling for Ruby on Rails," said David Heinemeier Hansson, creator of Ruby on Rails. "They've gone beyond macros and generators and dealt with Rails code on a logical rather than merely textual level. This opens up a whole new world for things like advanced refactorings and, in general, provides an environment that's familiar to anyone coming from IDE-heavy environments like .NET or J2EE."
