I totally agree with Collin. do the testing. Been working with rails and ruby for about 6 months now (give or take a month) and started with Hartl's tutorial. I also started by usign rails 3.1.x before he had developed the chapter/material for it so there was a lot of debugging, IRC chatting, googling, and digging to figure it out. Got through the tutorial in about a week of part time effort and the testing helped me understand things MUCH more. gave me more to debug and problem-solve but that's what a large part of coding and learning new things is all about.
do the testing. I have 20+ years of coding experience: basic, pascal, c, c++, c#, VB, scheme, delphi, fortran, blah blah blah. I love learning and working with new languages. this has been a huge challenge because i don't have a lot of web dev experience so in addition to ruby and rails, I've been learning (more) html, javascript, MVC, etc etc etc... tons of fun! do the testing. :) Max -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
