Hello Everyone,
I have been learning rails for the past six month. I am ready to do a real project now. With so many choices I have narrowed down my major gems to a select few. For database I am going to use MongoDB with Mongoid. For HTML templates I am going to use HAML. For unit testing I will use RSpec. For integration testing I will use RSpec with Capybara. I want to use HTML5 from the getgo. I want to use SASS with CSS3. I am not sure if I should invest my time into learning an HTML5/CSS3 Framework, I didn’t see any information on this subject in the Rails guides or any rails books for this matter. Can I do all the development first without worrying about the front end design work? Or the design work can not be separated and is intertwined with the back end development? Basically I need help on how to break down a large development effort into smaller and happier tasks.
Thanks,
Alex
