What PHP frameworks have you used? How much object-oriented programming have you done? If the answer to either of these questions is "none", you're probably not used to working with big libraries, and so you probably don't yet know how to read docs effectively. (That's not meant as an insult.) The Rails API documentation is very clearly written in most places. You *do* need to understand the Ruby language and the basics of the Rails framework (as given in the Guides), though. > > Now, the Rails and the Ruby API's, it's like I'm trying to read Greek!

Still a newbie :-S You need to provide a concrete example of what's confusing if you want help.
