Hey guys I am a student and I have been working with ruby on rails for the past 4 months. I have to say taht I dont like it. I find that it is a pain to learn a new programming language just to use it. Instead of HTML ruby on rails uses RHTML. This is a pretty easy code to learn and use but I still dont enjoy it. However I am impressed at how quickly you are able to set up a web site. I havnt been able to make a very good looking website but i was still able to make it quickly. Over all I think that RoR is not as great as I thought it would be and I prefer the old way of making web sites with DreamWeaver and Photoshop. I know that RoR is all free software which is good but I think that the price is the only good thing about RoR.
