You asked about getting started four days ago and I answered though you did not thank me for my suggestions. The answer is still the same: First use Linux (Ubuntu for example) or Mac. Second follow a tutorial such as railstutorial.org which is free to use online. I recommend using rvm to install ruby and rails.

Have you completed the tutorial already?

Sqlite is good for development as it is very easy to setup and use, but it is not suitable for production. Most rails apps do not use stored procs and queries.

Hey Colin Law,

Why do your managers recommend using Windows for RoR development when it is not the best way? If you are forced to use Windows then I believe it is possible, but you will find it much more difficult getting help here as most Rails developers do not use Windows.

I have suggested twice working right through a good tutorial such as railstutorial.org. Now I have suggested it three times.
