You must be prepared for some hard work. The concepts needed to effectively use javascript for node can be complex, especially asynchronous callbacks and closures. I personally feel ROR is also hard and you end up with a lot less useful knowledge. ROR is limited to its MVC concept (which is outd

Re: [nodejs] Re: Is it a good idea for me to learn node.js?

I wouldn't say you end up with "less useful" knowledge in Rails. There are a lot of good patterns in the internals, which you will end up reading at some point. The knowledge about Rails' conventions is somewhat situational but even then you can apply similar concepts to Node applications , such as

Suggestion - identify a personal project you would like to do then hit http://www.codecademy.com and "Modern Javascript"(book) for learning the basics of javascript. About mid-way through the lessons you will know enough to start looking at the code people have written for modules and projects

1) Pick a project of moderate size - it's hard to master a language or environment from toy problems only. Likewise, pick something small enough to finish. 2) Read Crockford's _JavaScript: The Good Parts_ - once through now, for some orientation, again when you have more experience.  You don't

Yes. Node is just a javascript environment with a usable async API. Express is on top of Node. Stick with JavaScript, learn the basis, play with it in the browser if you like, you can use jQuery if you want, just stick with JS. After that, jump to Node and read the entire docs, it's not that bi

Rails is a framework on top of Ruby. So you can't compare Rails to Node.JS. You can do CRUD with Node.JS. You can do in Nodejs everything that can be done in Ruby. Only the default paradigm is different. One is synchronous, blocking and the other is asynchronous, non-blocking by default. You can us
