It came like a bolt of lightning. Rails that is. I've been complacent about it for the last coupler of months. Primarily because I didn't have the time to learn "another programming language", but the weather was particularly extra crap lastnight so I thought what the hell, why not. And it was good, real good, so good infact that I stayed up until 5:30 in the morning getting my brain wrapped around. I built a complete CMS (content management system) in one night using some simple logic and afew books scattered around the floor.
YES! I have entered the church of Ruby on Rails, drank from the special goblet and am on my way to being the evengelist. I've written CMSes in C#, PHP, and Perl. None of them was ever this simple and yet so powerful. By the end of this weekend I will be master of Rails and then I'm going to kick some AJAX ass.
(Hehe at first I thought you were gonna say you got struck with some illness....) What books did you start with? As soon as I finish this info viz thing (hoping it doesnt kill me and works so that I dont look like an idiot) I shall have to see what this is all about.
Hey Cuz, rails sounds like an interesting find. However, tell me, do you code in C++? If in the affirmative then what level are you and can you instruct? I may require your services.
