Ask HN: Is Ruby on Rails for beginners?

Empirically yes. A good fraction of all the enmity the "Rails development community" attracts is due to the number of Rails programmers who are really just HTML web site developers who know enough syntax to use ActiveRecord as if it was MS Access.

Can you figure out MS Access? You'll do fine with Rails.

I have met a handful of noobs learning RoR and the portrait that you paint is really accurate. HTML Developers who don't quite have a handle on what is happening under the hood.

MS Access is easy.

thanks for the post
