Hey, I've been seeing a lot of hype about Rails and thought I'd give it a try...


My question is, do I need any knowledge of Ruby before I jump into RoR lol? Would I be fine if I just started reading Rails tutorials, or should I try and gain some basic knowledge of Ruby the language itself first.


Thanks




Regards,

There are some RoR books aimed at programmers that have never used ruby or rails witch could help you out.

You probably could get code working with out learning anything about ruby first but your code would be a lot more ugly and less efishent then if you knew all the ruby tricks.

Rails is a framework written in Ruby, for Ruby (web applications). Skipping the language would be like using XNA without C#, Django without Python, etc (WordPress (I know it's not a framework) without knowing PHP).

You would only be complicating things for yourself.
