Question

I am a newbie in ROR developement. I am trying to create my own application with the help of Ruby on Rails tutorial 2nd edition. I made many reseaches. I need your comments about devise or any other authentications system or as the book offers us to write our own authentication systems.

What are your ideas? Is it wasting time to write your own authentication system?

Answer 1

i’m quite new to RoR myself but i used Devise so far (and according to the book i’m currently reading it is worth it).

You could use the Railscasts about Devise if you want an introduction to it:

And as it is quite easy to learn and well featured i’d say it is pretty overkill to write your own.
