Sorry I didn''t say this in my other response, but if I am going to be
doing this in websphere in a java centric world.  Would it do me any
good to simply learn the first part, RoR?  I''m sure that once ror is
installed on websphere it the rest of j2ee will be available.  But my
thinking is that before my project starts I can at least be familiar
enough with "regular" rails to use it when it is installed on
websphere.  The ror framework would change enough that it''d be a
different product just because it''s on the j2ee platform would it?
Maybe just regular ror install for now would suffice?  Thanks.
