I’m learning how to program for the first time, (with Ruby), because I want to eventually build a web application. I am understanding it well, and am halfway through 2 different tutorials, but have a major question…
I have learned so much about objects, methods, strings, etc, but so far the tutorials I’ve gone through have made ZERO mention of actually integrating it with the front end of a website, or “embedding” the code in HTML. So my question is, how in the heck does all of this translate to actually interacting with a website and user commands? I am failing to see the big picture here, and could really use some guidance.
Am I crazy for wondering what is going on here?!
It great that you have started learning Ruby! But Ruby in it self is simply a programming language. I think you wan’t to check out Rails!
http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html
Rails is written in Ruby and a lot of what you will write will be Ruby so you will probably get started quickly.
