NewsvineOften I’ll be walking down the street, and someone will come up to me and say, “Dan, I’ve been dying to use Ruby on Rails and AJAX! Thing is, I don’t know what the heck they are, but I’ve seen them advertised and damn blast it, they look cool!”
This is very common. My usual response is “Hey! Don’t sweat it. It’s not as difficult, nor as expensive as it sounds. In fact, the barrier of entry is surprisingly low.”
“Yes, Dan,” they say. “This sounds so good and wonderful, I can’t wait to start my new adventure in technology. Oh please, let it be so.”
“You too,” I say, “can develop in Ruby and use AJAX. But you should Start At The Beginning. Read this and all will be well.”
