Having programmed in many different languages, making the leap to Ruby on Rails is not for the weak hearted. The switch entails many less than obvious nuances and the associated documentation of rails is quite light. To the point where, much of the time required to make the switch is spent figuring out just how to do certain tasks which unfortunately are unique to Rails.

Ultimately, there is a fairly substantial time savings in writing RoR applications over using more convention methods and languages such as PHP or other rapid development frameworks. This site represents my gradual learning of the RoR language as best I can recollect each individual accomplishment or "ah ha" moment along the way. The goal of this content is to provide beginners with the basic resource they need to more smoothly make the switch. Also, since much of the documentation of Rails provides only references to previous versions which are NOT compatible with the latest direction of RoR, this site serves a secondary purpose for more advanced users to serve as a reference for those nuances they often forget.

Because the site is also solutions focused, within these pages I try to provide all the details you need to quickly and painlessly implement these solutions so you can spend more time customizing them for your own needs rather than doing what I had to do which was learn the hard way - through combing the Internet for breadcrumbs of knowledge that I had to piece together to get it all tow work. Enjoy, and please send send me comments or complaints!
