Re: [Rails] NEW TO PHP...RUBY ON RAILS?

[Sam Pizzey]

*Need* to? No.
Is there work around in RoR? Plenty. Same could be said for PHP, though.

http://guides.rubyonrails.org/ is nice starting point. Also I suggest online courses for example, SaaS course part 1: https://www.edx.org/courses/BerkeleyX/CS169.1x/2012_Fall/about and SaaS course part 2: https://www.edx.org/courses/BerkeleyX/CS169.2x/2012_Fall/about. They are great way to dive into Ruby and SaaS egneneering.

You "need" to learn several languages and frameworks as part of
becoming a reasonably competent programmer.

The more diverse the better, but the exact choices are up to you :-)

Ruby on Rails is not related to PHP.  You could give symfony a try which is a PHP Framework inspired by Rails.

If you want a web development job, I would suggest that you learn first the basics of html5/css/javascript, than you move to server-side development with php or rails.

Jack of all trades, master of none. I think such a broad statement
leads him in the wrong path. I think he "needs" to learn a single
language and master it before he even starts to learn another language
and then decide which would be most beneficial to his career. I'm not
saying you're wrong, actually you are spot on, I just don't want to
see him take on the task of learning multiple languages and once and
then end up the guy that nobody wants because he knows a little bit
about everything and a whole lot about nothing.

No doubt. This alone should keep a complete newbie busy for many
months, if not longer.
