It depends on your goals, but if they include simplicity I would strongly advise against rails. Coming from .NET, you may be looking for the breath of fresh air feeling ruby can provide, that I can now do things in 1 line that took 5 before and understand every part of my system -- if that is the case, Sinatra or another microframework might be the thing for you. It's also nice to be able to learn and start using something in a matter of hours rather than "working through a book"
- james-skemp 12y agoBelatedly, thank you for the suggestion. It sounds like you may have come into Ruby from a similar background; any suggestions on a good way to start learning the language? There seems to be an interesting post on creating a very basic blog engine via Sinatra, but everything else I've found is ... lacking. As far as my own goals, I actually like .NET (C#) as a language, and generally don't feel as though ASP.NET MVC is too complex. It has definitely gotten a bit more bloated in particular areas, but ... Shrug. Thanks again!
