RoR! (Ruby on Rails)

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,

Code:

<!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.

Code:

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.

Dentafrice,

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

To call it:

Code:

<%= javascript_include_tag "prototype" %>

Example:

Code:

<%= 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.
