So, I’m writing a basic application, with a html5/jquery front end and a ruby backend. I’ve never used a ruby backend, and was wondering how I’d go about that. I am going to be using MySQL, very much like an Apache/MySQL/PHP thing but without PHP. I will need to eventually put the application on some sort of web server. For now I just need something local so I can develop it. So, is there a WAMP for ruby instead of php? I’ve been reading and Ruby on Rails seems like it may be what I’m looking for, but I’m really not sure.
So, what kind of platform do I need to learn in order to do this. I want to use ajax if possible(ruby backend). How do I go about setting up my environment.
Sorry if my question is somewhat vague, thank you so much for the help.
IMO railsinstaller is the way to get started on Windows.
For getting started with Rails itself, Hartl’s Rails Tutorial is great.
