Not trolling here, but genuinely trying to figure out what to use for a project I'd like to create. I'm very new to programming (some intro classes at university) and am debating between learning asp.net versus ruby on rails to create the project.
I'd very much prefer to learn ruby, but it seems like the asp.net IDE is better for someone new to web programming like myself. The ability to use a wysiwyg design view in visual studio is a big plus to me since I don't know how to seriously code pages, buttons, drop downs, tree menus, and other stuff. Sure, I could learn this given some time, but I actually have limited time and would prefer not to attack all of this from the ground up. I tried loading textmate and, while I appreciate how great it would be if I knew what I was doing, there seems to be less "hand-holding" for someone like myself. I was pretty daunted by the big blank page in the middle! My first impression of Visual studio was that it seems to provide more support and have more tools I can use like properties dialogs, the wysiwyg design view, etc. There was just more I could immediately relate to as opposed to textmate. I assume I'm missing something here and am looking for help. Is there a good integrated IDE that allows me to code RoR and also do wysiwyg design to cut corners on the web design aspects of things? Thanks in advance. msm -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
