I am a non-coder and am very good at HTML. I am going to self-teach myself Ruby & Ruby on Rails because I hear it’s a good skill to have but especially because it may be an easy first language to learn with my HTML background.
I would like to create my webpage, which will catalog my photographs, using Ruby on Rails. For a non-coder-HTML-user like myself, which would be a smoother transition:
1) Ruby before RoR
OR
2) Learn both at the same time
Thanks!
I was at the same stage 1 month back where you are now.
2 Cases are here:
From learning perspective, definitely Ruby first and then RoR!
If you quickly want to make a web-app (in a rush), then do Rails with basic concept of Ruby (which you will gradually understand both, I know people who directly started with Rails and now they understand Rails and Ruby, both).
What I am doing is, learning Ruby, and for that, I am making a small desktop utility on Ruby and will start with Rails as soon I am “satisfied” with my Ruby desktop app.
