Hello all, FlannelBeard here. I've got a project coming up for work that I think can use rails. I want to impress my boss. It does require a database and it will need to process credit card information.
*I am a front-end web developer. *I can tweak BASIC php, nothing major. I know how to edit Jquery and a little Javascript. I do know Html5 and Css, though. Php and other back-end languages prove...difficult for me. My question, is that for a guy with my skill set, is it recommended to learn Ruby on Rails where I am at, or do I NEED, again, NEED to know Php in order to better grasp Rails? If I dont need to know intermediate to advanced Php, and i can learn rails right now, ill do it. Obviously I know it is advised to learn both. I get that, but I have not had to use php much in my front end developments. Would rails suffice, if I do not wish to learn php right this very moment? is is easier to learn rails first and THEN go to php? Im just a career driven web developer who wants to learn back-end languages. As of now, theyre like alien languages to me, as for most front-end developers. I want to break that barrier and become both. Any tips for a beginner in back-end work? Sorry if my question seems...pointless. But I need some guidance. I need some experts to let me know what is what and to guide me to grow and learn. Thanks, everyone. Sorry if I seem scattered. I tend to type out my thoughts as they come to me. Over-explaining has been a bane of mine for ages. -FlannelBeard -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
