Great way of presenting tutorial. Frameworks like these are definitely the way of the future. Django is a fairly robust Python implementation of this sort of thing too.

@Ghandi
Yes, I agree. With a long background of Marketing – I guess this is what turns me on to Ruby, although I’ve been involved with PHP since 2002. I just found PHP hard to learn for someone that only has so much time to learn on a weekly basis. I’m not saying it’s hard – but it’s just not EASY for someone who just started. There’s lots of books out there that just don’t cut it. You even have to do RESEARCH before you LEARN the language lol… how odd is that?

@Creole
Yeah, I actually meant RoR. My bad! I always knew that Ruby itself was created in the early 90’s – actually 1990, right? -edit- just seen the correction from Ghandi, thanks!) But as for RoR – it makes using Ruby MUCH easier.

I actually like Pythons new framework (Gears? is that right? haha I can’t remember the name) and how they used Video Tutorials as well. Sure, PHP has alot of Videos on the web – but not for free and not from Good, Solid programmers. It’s usually from a pretty good programmer teaching you basics about the language… nothing more. Sure, Ruby does too – but it’s coming directly from the Community, not VTC, Lynda.com or any other “Training” company who hires cheap, throws them in fleet.

Anyways, thanks for the comments. :)

You are correct. Work began on February 24, 1993 to be precise. Python was created in 1990. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_programming_language http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_programming_language

@Clenard…

Also, from what I’ve read, Ruby has been around longer than PHP. According to the Ruby website, it was invented in Japan in the early 90s. PHP was invented in the late 90s.

Someone please correct me if I’m wrong.

@Clenard Not justifing other programming groups lack of tutorials and stuff, but the reason that Ruby on Rails is so popular is that they have been playing the marketing game. Ruby would not be anywhere close to as popular as it is now if it wasn’t for Ruby on Rails and their marketing techniques.

Everyone has their favorites. Everyone should have a look at Python as well. There is some really neat stuff out there and lots of resources. Python people do not seem much for flash bang, but are more interested in solving problems.

Wow! Such a fun way to spend a rainy Saturday afternoon. I have always wanted to try Ruby, but I figured I already knew enough about PHP and Perl to keep me busy. But after playing with the tutorial, I am thinking about doing a site in Ruby. I love the concept of not having to end every line with a semicolon. Thanks so much!!!

Wow, very cool! An excellent first tutorial, what a quick and easy way to learn things. I’m very much a hands-on learner, and this is just perfect. Way to go Why!
