First, please tell me if I’m an idiot for even attempting to learn
Ruby on Rails. I’m a graphic designer turned user interface designer
with a geeky side who wishes he could program. I know 2 ounces of
javascript (maybe less) but I’ve got my head around HTML and CSS
pretty well (I know, I know–nothing special). So again, tell me to
go back to the kiddie pool if I’m totally out of place here.
(I’m still proud that I even figured out how to get started! Never
touched the terminal until today.)
Anyway, I’m trying to follow these instructions:
http://developer.apple.com/tools/rubyonrails.html
to just get /something/ created–something I made that I can
manipulate and feel cool about, and then I’ll go nuts learning the
language.
Thing is, that guide was written when RoR used MySQL as it’s default
database but now it uses SQLite3 … so the instructions don’t work
for a complete newby like myself.
I was able to get the accounts table created but when I get to the
part where it tells me to do:
$ rake migrate
I get this:
rake aborted!
Don’t know how to build task ‘migrate’
Which I believe means my database ain’t doing what she ought to.
Thanks for any help!
