Nice job, Bill: thanks. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Rawlinson Sent: Thursday, September 22, 2005 11:36 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Re: [CFCDev] Ruby on Rails for CF
It would probably be a good idea for anyone interested to read at least the front page "about" at http://www.rubyonrails.com/ if you want more info the RoR project has tons of useful and pretty easy to read documentation at: http://documentation.rubyonrails.com/ There is also a decent article "Rolling with Rails" at : http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/01/20/rails.html and finally, if anyone wants to mess with Ruby on Rails on a windows machine - I wrote up an article/instruction set for my own reference at: http://rawlinson.us/blog/?page_id=309 I tried to explain everything that "tripped" me up so hopefully it can help someone else.
