I just wanted to try to push start this forum and see who was about as I plan to learn Ruby over the coming weeks.
Does anyone use it? Any thoughts about it? Any tips for someone coming from PHP? Advice on getting started? -------------------- |

I haven't had a chance to learn it either. 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.

I spent a bit of time dabbling... didn't really get me that riled up.
I'll stick with PHP, but don't let me discourage you  Lot's of folks out there use it successfully....

QUOTE (thesealportalteam @ Feb 25 2008, 02:25 PM)  Can someone explain Ruby? Is it a advanced for of php? Is it better or worse? Ruby is a server side language. Like asp is to php. Provides the same functionality but it is a different language. Ruby is supposed to be cool because it is geared towards rapid development. -------------------- |

I know ruby is a language but I didn't know its geared towards rapid development. Is it open source?

Ruby on rails seems easy to build stuff, but not good for big sites like erp systems.

It is showing nice things, and nice auto generation of files etc.
I do however think they make it sound like almost no knowledge is needed to start off, while they sure seem to be working in a unix shell to start commands, and use a lot of params, etc, in their controllers and such, which still presents a learning curve. 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 |

Great a forum with a RoR section.
Recently learned about RoR, so I downloaded (Instant Rails) and the interactive Ruby language console. Proceeded to create a few small apps then tried to create one at my hosting company (who claim to support RoR via cPanel), but they we're clueless. Then went searching for a real hosting company that really supports RoR... Found one, started my blog and I'm slowly learning. I currently have a development account w/ SSH access and FastCGI through Apache. Mongrel is better/faster but more money. -------------------- |
