RubyTrends.com : Hot topics in Ruby web development

Know what the hottest topic in Ruby is?

Keeping track of emerging trends in web development can be challenging given all of the inputs available.  For those of you who use Ruby and/or Agile practices I recommend RubyTrends.com

RubyTrends covers all the major categories: projects, books, screencasts, practices and products.  It’s easy to stay current on the latest trends thanks to RubyTrend’s twitter feed, rss feeds for each category, and a handy feature for registered users that shows trends added since your last visit ( available under My Account )

While the site is young it’s gaining attention in the RoR community and generating enough traffic to expose relevant trends.  My only recommendation is add a blog section that tracks popular Ruby blogs.  It might be cool to rank individual blog posts too.

RubyTrends was created by Andy Stone an Atlanta area Ruby web developer and co-worker of mine at Primedia where we’ve worked on projects including www.apartmentguide.com and www.rentalhouses.com  Andy is also known for his open-source Ruby on Rails user authorization system Lockdown
