It is great!

Personally, I thought it would flat out be ****. It love it though.. Ruby is way easier then PHP and I also love the scaffolding.

The template support is awesome,


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" />
<title>Caleb Mingle</title>
<%= stylesheet_link_tag 'caleb' %>
</head>
<body>

<p style="color: green"><%= flash[:notice] %></p>

<%= yield %>

</body>
</html>


Every page starts out like that, you just save it in the templates directory as the controller name, and its amazing.



class ContactController < ApplicationController
def show
render :text => "You have reached the show page!"
end
end


Its amazing, anyone else used it/know anything about it?

I've wanted to learn RoR for a while, but I've never really had the chance. By any chance could you comment that code and explain it, because it's confusing me :P

I had a quick look at it and didnt impress me greatly, PHP does the job for me.

Scriptaculous is aparently a part of RoR, I'm not too sure though :P

I've read about Ruby dozens of times but never really looked into it.

Yep, in each Rails app in the public folder is Scriptaculous.

To call it:



<%= javascript_include_tag "prototype" %>


Example:



<%= link_to_remote( "click here",
:update => "time_div",
:url =>{ :action => :say_when }) %>

Sitepoint released their RoR book in PDF format for free which is brilliant, although I believe that there have been updates since the book was wrote.

RoR is a different language than PHP, and i'm not a lover of it and it's not too appreciated in most web hosts so you have to look at certain places for good hosting, sort of like ColdFusion, I personally prefer Python to both PHP and RoR.

I don't really like it. I don't really get the flexibility that I get in PHP and I don't really want some program generating code for me.
