Has anyone else given this language a shot? I've only been learning it since Friday but it's incredible how easy it is to pick up! I had my first web app, up and running in minutes. It didn't do much granted but it's still satisfying to get stuff done so quickly (I'm currently working on user login and authentication).

I was worried I wouldn't be able to pick any of it up but so far so good!

Plus pushing my apps to Github and Heroku from inside Terminal makes me feel like a friggin' genius!

Anyone else have any love for Ruby?

Had a quick dabble with it once, but nothing major. I'm planning on learning it this year or next, but got c++ to learn first. Where/how have you been learning Rails?

I looked at sites like teamtreehouse.com but they didn't really have that many Rails vids lol
