Rapid Web Development
In the past year, there have been two major trends in Web Development.

• Web 2.0


• Rapid Web Application Frameworks such as Django and Ruby on Rails
  

Ruby on Rails (RoR), in particular has captured much mindshare, and it's not hard to see why, the combination of database integration, and the relatively small amount of code required to publish data on the web, allied with the nice demonstration movies has really turned heads, and opened Ruby to many more developers.
