While it would be nice to be able to use Hobo without Rails experience, it really doesn't seem practical - Hobo *is* Rails, in many parts. Trying to educate brand-new users about *everything* seems doomed to repeat much of the Rails docs. For example, users need to understand how to use associations effectively in models, and that's not at all Hobo specific. At best, new users are going to need to have the Hobo reference in one hand and the Rails docs in the other. --Matt Jones [email protected] --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hobo Users" group.
