This is so frustrating. Is RoR that easy to learn or is it hype or is it just me? I wonder how many newbies like me are surfing the docs trying to get a clue of the basics. Every tutorial I find is much the same, and seems to skip the fundmental parts. How should you understand the Ruby API http://api.rubyonrails.org/? What is < ActionController::Base? Can''t I set a cookie under

Hi All, I''ve been a ASP.NET developer for the last few years and consider it to be a pretty productive environment to work with. However, the object-relational mapping (ActiveRecord) and simplicity of the Rails framework and Ruby in general really appeals to me. .NET currently doesn''t have something like Rails'' ORM - atleast not out-of-the-box. Here''s my

I am new to web development, Ruby on Rails, and UML as well. I was wondering if there were any free tools available for UML design. There is a list of free tools on wikipedia under UML tools, but I don''t understand if I need a tool that supports the ruby language. If anyone uses a free UML tool for designing Ruby on Rails apps, please let me know what you use.

Reviews Wanted. I''ve read the tables of contents and haven''t yet made up my mind. Is one book clearly better than the other? Is one clearly full of bugs? Is one so much further ahead that there is no choice? Are they both so incomplete that I should just wait and only cook real food? Do trains still have dining cars?

Can someone point me to some good ideas about managing Rails development - like what would be a good way to document all the models and controllers and methods that might result if several people are prototyping on different parts of a system, and what might be a good structure for pushing back code into SVN as scaffolds are turned into real projects - that sort of thing. I''m

Before I get flamed, I just want to start off by saying that I am new to Ruby and I really enjoy this language and want to see it succeed. But, what niche does this language fill? These are serious question, not a put down of the language. Does it has something to offer for Web 2.0? Is it just another scripting language? Does it suppose to replace something else? Does it suppose to work with

I''m a beginner. I''ve done the apple tutorial, Agile ROR (the depot app, I stopped after that, a little to advanced with no base knowledge of Ruby), Why''s guide and my copy of Chris Pine''s book today. After Pine, I''m going to buy either the Wrox book or Ruby for Rails book. I did a search and there''s not too much on the Wrox book (Holzner)

I''m working in a complex web app that could have 1000+ users within the next year. It must be run on Windows 2003. Current db is SqlServer 2000. Company is deciding between Rails and ASP 2.0. I''d like to get some feedback on which would be the best to develop in. ( I prefer Rails :) 1. Will Rails be stable in that environment? Will it work with IIS? 2. Is it better for

Hello people! This is my first post here and generally the first post I''m making on the web regarding Ruby or Rails. I come from PHP and especially Joomla. I can''t say I have done some "serious" development till now. I''ve developed small projects but never something ''big''. But these last months I''m very productive and I have a

I''m curious -- how many of us came to Rails from other branches of the OO world -- Java, C# -- and how many of us came from the design or non-OO scripting worlds? Reason I ask is that I''m finding Rails a blast and very productive, but I think one reason is that I already cut my teeth on MVC and ORM during two years of writing apps with J2EE/Struts/Hibernate. And in Javaland, it

I''m going to take another stab at this question (my first one received no replies): I have two models: Author has_many: books Book has_one: author I have two tables: authors id ... books id author_id ... I let the scaffolding fly and it created the CRUD goodness for each model, as expected. However, I want to have only one view/controller "set" for both models; when I

I am wondering if it would be possible (and safe) to develop online banking or other security-related applications with Ruby on Rails, instead of using J2EE frameworks or .NET? Are there any particular implications needed to write e-banking apps with Rails? Security problems? So... is anyone developing these types of applications with RoR? Any advantage or disadvantage?
