Ruby on Rails 2.0

December 12, 2007 at 10:42 pm · Filed under Ruby on Rails, Tutorial

If you are like me, and you are wondering what all the hype is about Ruby on Rails is, you should visit the Akita on Rails Website. I admit that I have not read much about it, but I did install it, and created a small database driven website. It was very cool because I basically created the whole thing with very few lines of code. But that is as far as I got.

Version 2.0 was released recently, and there are already a lot of great tutorials popping up around the net. Akita has done a couple of great tutorials, and a screencast that is done very well, and will help you understand RoR. These articles are geared toward people who already know Rails 1.2, so if you are just a beginner looking to start out, this is not a good place to start.
