Ruby on Rails

I'm just beginning development with Ruby on Rails and I was wondering if anyone here had any experience with it. Is it worth learning?

Has anyone played around with it?

Well, it might be worth learning for the future, but right now finding a host that supports it well without it being some specialist host (e.g., Rails ONLY would be specialist, which is about the best you'll get in terms of Rails).

So, it's a nice set of tools, but right now it's gonna be pretty useless for actual use unless you're hosting yourself or use a specialist host.

ive played around with it a tiny bit, and it looks quite cool, my host (by coincidence) now has ruby on rails support.

their prices are decent and ive had nothing to complain about so far.

Is it just me, or is your site, http://www.popularisg.com ,down?

But they do look pretty good. :)
And I've not tried Ruby on Rails yet.

Well, I'm not sure what I'm going to use it for, but I just installed MySQL Server, Ruby on Rails, and MySQL-Front, so I think I'm going to play around with it for a while.

oh god, that's an old site i used to help out at, i really need to update my profile lol

what is rugy on rails>

Ruby is an interpreted OO programming language and Ruby on Rails is a web application framework written in Ruby.

It sounds like an something that isn't very popular yet, but will be. Like broadband when it first started. Who knows, it might be the next PHP. I think it will be very useful, and there are actually quite a bit of Rails hosts:

I've tried it for a while and was quite impressed by the whole MVC structure and the one line of code cookbook tutorial.
But I had a hard time with the ruby language.
Since I've been coding Basic and C++ for so long it just felt very weird. Probably a very logical language and so but still just weird. ;)

Ive been using Ruby for a few years now, but never tried rails.

I've messed with Rails a bit, although honestly I prefer Python for web stuff currently (mainly because I already have a lot of stuff written in it).

As for Ruby, I've been a fan of it since about 2004, but only use it for stuff like documentation generation, string parsing, etc.

It's a good language, but its applications are pretty limited.
