Hi mmr,
If you know HTML then picking up Haml is a no-brainer. Let's say you want a
form and you're not using the form helper, instead of writing:
<form action="..." method="post">
You write
%form{:action => '...', :method => 'post'}
For the stuff you would put inside the <form> tags just indent by 2 spaces
in Haml. That's pretty much it.
So you want a text field? Sure:
%input{:type => 'text', :name => '...', :value => '...', :maxlength =>
'...'}
That's it.
