There were many to come to Ruby by trying Ruby on Rails first, and I think there are many to discover Javascript by having to accomplish something with jQuery. Of course that's not the ideal way to learn things, but your assumption is often wrong.
- jamesbritt 16y agoDo you really think these people properly learned Ruby by reading a Rails-specific book with a 10-page overview of Ruby? There's some good business in picking up Rails projects when a client discovers they've hired someone who really only knows how to wire up pre-coded plugins to auto-generated MVC code, and cannot custom-code special requirements.
