Ruby on Rails!

Sorry i haven't updated.

But Ruby on Rails is absoloutely awesome!

http://www.rubyonrails.com

check out the screencasts if you are skeptical.

So far, i have loaded InstantRails on my laptop, and i know how to begin a new application, and run an application, but since i know nothing about the actual programming syntax for ruby, mysql or how to configure a apache local server, i am currently walking up a steep learning curve. Ruby is a pretty easy language, like basic, but i don't fully understand the dev enviroment and how it is supposed to work with the rails framework. And unfortunately, all the best tutorials (like the one i list below) use a dev enviroment which was just shut down, and is therefore unavailable....But i did run a couple test apps, and the results are awesome.

http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/tutorial/index.html

this is a good tutorial that i am working through, and i have gotten as far as the Rails default page running on the local server. Unfortunately, he uses MySQL-Front for the database part of the tutorial, which i now unavailable since MySQL had MySQL-Front (a seperate project) shut down (for copyright reasons i think). So maybe i can find an old version of My-SQL front online or something.

[edit] i did find a version online but the source looks questionable. [edit]

seeya soon. And i wonder how this would work on Linux (probably alot better)
