Again, you're posting without quoting, so I have no idea what you're referring to. > Really very many people stop and leave from Ruby and Ruby on Rails use > only in the absence of good documentation. What documentation *is* missing? There are dozens of "getting started with Rails" books, and indeed, if you type that phrase into your search engine of choice, you get a massive amount of results, including: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html http://railscasts.com/episodes/310-getting-started-with-rails https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/rails3 And let's not forget what I already referred to as the great Ruby API docs: http://www.ruby-doc.org/core-1.8.6/ http://www.ruby-doc.org/core-1.8.7/ http://www.ruby-doc.org/core-1.9.3/ And the very handy Rails API docs: http://api.rubyonrails.org/ So what *is* extra that is needed in your view? If you've got a great idea, then awesome! Please contribute it, I'd love to see it. > And you suggest to rush to study of source codes > directly. It very much frightens off beginners. No, I *didn't* suggest it (and if you'd quoted what I said, you would see it). I said that *I* find well-written-source-code-with-poor-docs better than poorly-written-code-with-good-docs, but I *never* said I agreed with you that the Ruby/Rails docs are poor. Personally, I think they're perfectly good, and the associated contributions from the community are of varying quality, but generally good/excellent. But I'm happy to discuss with you your disagreement. There's always room for more tutorials... please contribute! :-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
