Does anyone use it? Any thoughts about it? Any tips for someone coming from PHP? Advice on getting started? -------------------- Web Development Blog \| Stanley Web Design

I've been wanting to learn Ruby for quite some time now but was lacking a project to get me interested in learning it. I have found a project but now it's lack of time. I have so many things I need to do right now that it's on the back burner again. Plus, I need to get some hosting since my host doesn't support RoR. So... that's another thing that's slowing me down. -------------------- The Squeeze Store is now OPEN!

Ruby is supposed to be cool because it is geared towards rapid development. -------------------- Web Development Blog \| Stanley Web Design

Also they make believe that things like MVC is not possible in PHP, which is ofcourse not true. If someone here is actually using this, i'm always interested to hear their findings. -------------------- fresh-style.nl - small webdesign & development projects
