Rails

I am someone with no programming experience.

  1. What is the best way for me to learn Ruby on Rails
  2. How long will it take?
  3. What is the back end database that Ruby uses.
  4. Are there any components that need to be bought out?

Thanks

Personally I believe at least some knowledge of ruby is useful. People
speak well of rubykoans.com

  1. How long will it take?

That’s entirely dependant on how fast you pick things up. If you’ve
really
got no programming experience at all then I would have thought it would
be
at least a multi month process.

  1. What is the back end database that Ruby uses.

2 of the more common ones are Postgres & Mysql, but people also use
oracle,
sql server, sqlite3 and also non relational stores such as mongodb,
couchdb, riak etc.
