TECH Ruby on Rails

[Shampoo]

I've never had such a difficulty with code before, Ruby is supposed to be easy, such BS, I can't get a hello world to display.

Is there a good tutorial out there on just getting started? I have it installed, but can't get it to work properly.

There were a few threads in the computer and programming area a few months back ... I'm not into it so I didn't pay too much attention but that might help.

Everyone keeps saying that. Must be that I'm impatient, but then again PHP was much easier to get started.

I get to the scaffold, then it refuses to continue after that by saying "wrong constant name"

If you're struggling with Ruby itself, just about every web language now has multiple frameworks that implement the Rails concepts, so you could evaluate those that PHP has (though there's a lot).

the beauty of rails is not necessarily the framework, but the language itself

Even though the language is a big part of Rails, most people that go to it are doing it for the framework features like good MVC, scaffolding, ActiveRecord, migrations, Prototype/Scriptaculous integration etc - all of which can (and have been) applied in other platforms.

I find unless someone has programming in their blood, they can get what they want out of Rails out of existing frameworks, leveraging whatever language they already know.

rails -v

Rails 1.2.3

I use rails at work.

You want to get an good IDE.

I reccomend RadRails for Eclipse.
