New effects for Rails applications
With the release of Ruby on Rails 0.11.1, the creators added some cool Ajax capabilities. This allowed you to do server side calls without having to refresh the whole page. The nice part about the Rails implementation is that you don't need to really understand how it works or know javascript too well. It's built into the framework, so just call the Ajax methods like you would any other Rails methods.
Well, with the next release of Rails we should be seeing some other pretty cool javascript/client-side effects. The new effects will range from scaling and shrinking to fading in and out of just about any element on your page. To see these features in action, go to the demo page:
