Rails

Hey All,

I’m a RoR Newbie (Web Designer/Markup Developer) and new to this group.
I’ve already noticed that the RoR community is a very cool group of
people and very friendly!

If its ok, I have a few questions.

  1. I run my own Win 2000 dedicated box. What do I need to do to run RoR
    apps? (What do I need to install? I have MySQL already)

  2. I installed the one-click installation of RoR on my laptop and it
    worked fine. But for some reason, now I cannot get the server to run
    anymore. I uninstalled and installed again but with no success. Any
    ideas?

  3. I have zero experience in programming but RoR is changing that
    quickly as its SO easy to understand and deploy. I’m very interested
    in developing my own cms but I know that may prove to be far fetched at
    this point. But to get started, what sites to you recommend to take
    tutorials?

Thanks!!

I’ve heard good reports of InstantRails
(http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/). I
would also recommend checking out Mongrel
(http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/).

Can you post the steps you are following and the output for us?

Thanks.

Your first stop should be http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/title/
rails/

Buy the book, start reading :slight_smile: If you still want to develop web
software after that, get some books about good object-oriented
programming and dive into Ruby itself.
