Hi solyda,

Don't be confused, Ruby is a dynamic programming language, and Ruby on Rails(aka Rails, RoR) is a web application framework for Ruby. I would recommend you get started in Ruby fundamental before jumping to Rails.

Cheers,
Samnang

Not really, there a lot of rails hosting like(dreamhost, bluehost, engineyard, railsplayground, etc...), but they are just more expensive than PHP hosting.

hi,

the ultimate hosting which has a FREE plan too is http://heroku.com/

1st learn ruby for 2-3 days. it will greatly speed up learning rails:
http://sa.sse.hu/~onetom/books/The%20Pragmatic%20Bookshelf%20-%20Programming%20Ruby.pdf

this is the definative rails book. u might want to get an updated
version. u can buy it online from the pragmatic bookshelf guys:
http://sa.sse.hu/~onetom/books/The%20Pragmatic%20Bookshelf%20-%20Agile%20Web%20Development%20With%20Rails%20(July%202005).pdf

after 2-3 month u might need to go forward and learn more advanced techniques:
http://sa.sse.hu/~onetom/books/The%20Pragmatic%20Bookshelf%20-%20Rails%20Recipes%20(June%202006).pdf

these books actually teaches u the problems and possible nice solution
of the web application and relational database models.
most of the techniques apply to other MVC frameworks no matter in
which language are they written in.

but never forget 1 thing! this IS NOT the ONLY neither the ULTIMATE
way of doing things.
Rails is a GENERIC and ALL-IN-ONE solution which is quite complex and
not necessarily the fastest solution,
neither is the relational database model!

Checking out other frameworks (rack, sinatra, ramaze) 1st might also
helps to learn Rails faster.

I would also recommend reading the http://datamapper.org examples
which is very easy and comprehensive but still very short intro to
object relational mapping (ORM) (u can learn in 1-2 days for the
basics and another 4-5 days for trying the more advanced
datastructures)

Guys,

There's actually a [Cambodian] Ruby group here, http://groups.google.com/group/pailin?hl=en
Some people doing Ruby programming already there. So if you interested in doing Ruby programming too, maybe it's worth to be there.
Hopefully, we'll have some Ruby hacking event sometime soon!

cheers,
viirak
