My adventure into Ruby – #1

Long time Coming

So I’ve hear of and been interested in Ruby on Rails for quite some time now.

I have a week or two of more or less free time until I start getting overloaded with photo shoots again.

I thought about documenting my steps and things I did to help and if you feel so inclined tell me what I should have done instead or what could be my next steps.

Maybe CakePHP

I must say that I don’t know why I insist on Ruby on Rails.
I do like the idea of how easy it might be to learn… I’m not dumb and I understand computers alright, but I just don’t have the time for hardcore programming. It’s not my field, not my job and it will never be.

But recently I’ve been hearing talk about CakePHP being another viable solution.

For one thing (the biggest thing) my programmers who are working on the Envision Project are PHP people… I’m sure I could get more help if I went with a PHP option. And they are even considering porting the project to CakePHP.

What For?

Well if I learn it well enough I thought I could help maintain another photographic online web project that I hope to have finished and running by the end of August or mid september.
I would like it to be done in RubyOnRails and if I know some stuff i could perhaps help with maintainance.

LINKS

I thought it would be a place I could store some of my sources and webpages I found along the way.
Maybe even write some summaries and my experiences with each.
