Are you starting Ruby on Rails webdevelopment ?
Is yes, after the first post about which ebook are a must have, just take time to visit the http://guides.rails.info/
I don’t know who are the guy’s behind this “starting” documentation, but the works is really good, and the documentation really clear.
I hope they will have a long life.
Awww..thanks
It’s a community effort. You can find more details/names at http://hackfest.rubyonrails.org/guide and http://guides.rails.info/authors.html
If you’re just starting with Rails, also take a look at Seaside (http://seaside.st). Why use a new language inspired by Smalltalk, when Smalltalk is already multi-vendor and mature?
Randal, no offense but it’s really stupid to compare Rails with Seaside. Rails is an MVC framework, while seaside is a continuation based framework. And anyways, Ruby is not inspired only from smalltalk. You being a perl guy, you should know that.
To be honest, I’ve never played with Seaside, so I’m not the best person to compare.
But the fact is that Ruby on Rails is not the only web framework.
PHP as Sympfony or Cake or Igniter, Python as Django, Ruby as also merb, so there are frameworks and way to do for everyone.
I started learning Ruby AND Rails 1 years ago, after 5 years of Php. Perhaps I’ll look ahead a day, but not for the moment (well, I’ll quickly have a closer look to merb)
Cheers Pratik for the links
