To become a *web* developer, on whatever platform, I'd recommend you first learn: 1) HTML and CSS 2) HTTP and the nuts and bolts of how a web server works Build a few static pages, your own personal site perhaps, to get your feet wet. You should be able to find some tutorials on the basics, and use the W3C recommendations as references. Then start developing a simple RoR app and learn Ruby and Rails. Once you're somewhat comfortable you can start adding JavaScript (which will include understanding the DOM). XML can wait :-) HTH, and good luck, -- Hassan Schroeder ------------------------ [EMAIL PROTECTED] --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
