Here is a guide to create a blog: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html
The development model is different than asp.net. There aren't any controls. In case of the repeater, you iterate over the collection. Very rough sample code Controller: def index @posts = Post.all # This fetches all posts and stores it in an instance variable named posts end in your view you iterate over this: @posts.each do | post| <%= post.message %> This iterates over each element of posts and prints the message. Obviously you want do adorn this with the correct html elements. And I agree that jump starting into a simple project is the best way of doing it. You will also want to look into rubygems.org PS: The first week will be tough, but then you will see a sudden rise in productivity.
