I don't know if I would recommend RoR to a beginning programmer. Probably asp would be a simpler solution. RoR is great but it's documentation is still well not quite there yet.
Want to do something in asp / php / .net Throw out a google and get 20 scripts to do it with. With RoR no such thing. Also I'm a bit worried about the newest release, which is a release candidate. There are a lot of serious bug reports coming in about it. If your a beginner and things are supposed to work one way and it doesn't because of bugs in the platform... it won't work for you. deposits 2 cents ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dean Fiala" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, October 26, 2005 6:22 AM Subject: Re: [AspNetAnyQuestionIsOk] ASP or PHP advice > FYI > > http://www.rubyonrails.org/ > > On 10/26/05, Dean Fiala <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Ask this question to an ASP.NET group and guess what the answer is >> going to be... >> >> Ruby >> >> Just kidding. >> >> But what you are talking about is pretty basic in the scheme of >> things.
