Hi Everybody, I am novice at Ruby and definitely not a programmer. Basically a sales guy, i am with this web 2.0 company which is into Drupal and RoR web development. I think RoR is fantastic because of reasons purely unknown to me. But the kind of feedback... that i have been getting.. from fellow developers is exhilarating. BTW - i dont whether i am right... and if not please correct... i fail to extract any useful instruction which can help me in highlighting the use of RoR from the user''s perspective. I have been updating content on RoR and couldnt find a comprehensive place where i can find good marketing materials. Is it difficult for any person to convince to switch their site to RoR. Also is there a way by which we can generate leads of RoR projects since we are finding it very difficult to have those. Please let me know how this sounds.

If you''re not a programmer, and you don''t have any rails programmers working with you, then i don''t think your potential clients SHOULD switch to rails. From the point of view of the web user, rails has no advantage over any other method of making a web site: the end result is the same. However, from the point of view of the client, ie the person paying the developer to make a site for them, rails is a very agile method, which means that they can a) see something up and running relatively quickly and b) have changes implemented relatively quickly. You should be able to find articles on the net singing the praises of rails as a development method. However, rails code doesn''t write itself - you''ll need some programmers. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

RoR is a web development framework not a tool that can be used by end users and non developers. A web framework is a collection of development tools and libraries, that can be used to create a web application or website. Ruby is the language used to develop on top of the RoR framework, it is also the language used to create it Drupal is a CMS content managment system, which can used or better said configured and administred by non developers to server a specific group content management needs. Also note that the word content in the context of drupal means website content, like articles, blogs, forums, etc ... in other words the type of content you will find on a website. From you mail i see you have a long way to go and a lot to learn and learn about, i recommend you spend more time researching online before going to mailing lists On Mon, Jul 28, 2008 at 9:29 AM, Rajat Gupta <rajat.rp.gupta-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > Hi Everybody, > > I am novice at Ruby and definitely not a programmer.
