A newbie on Rails...
I am quite experienced at developing fully fledged sites in a variety of languages - but mainly based around .NET and perl [not together :-)].
Forget all that, er, stuff - embrace the Rails MVC architecture. (yes, I'm a hybrid, do both .net and Rails, drives me crazy switching back and forth at times)
am considering deploying a new solution in RoR and through pestering etc, have decided to go for a fully functional data intensive project in RoR.
Excellent!
I'm used to building up tables by hand...I'm aware there is a faster way of doing it in RoR - should I be old fashioned and comfortable or plunge right in to the Ruby way?
Embrace the Rails way... migrations are your friend.
