I was going to take a look at this article until I saw it was on smashingmagazine.com.

Why?

I'd also be interested in learning why you couldn't;t read Smashing Magazine. Thanks.

Thanks for your insight, David

In my limited experience of reading smashingmagazine.com articles they quite often lack any meaningful depth, are often link bait, often lists of limited value (612 got Wordpress themes that use the colour blue...) and worst of all is that I find the ads overwhelming (quantity and content).

For me this was akin to an offer of a burger. Great, I love burgers but oh, it's from McDonalds? I don't like McDonalds burgers. My comment was the equivalent of "I was interested in your burger until I saw it was from McDonalds".

If you guys get something out of it then great. I don't mean to or want to begrudge you of a useful resource.

I would have expected railscasts.com to be mentionned, such a great resource to learn Ruby on Rails.

belitsky• 16 years ago

I was mentioned http://rubyonrails.org/screencasts there, and it contains links to the Railscasts as well.

"The Ruby on Rails Framework (and Alternatives: Merb, Sinatra, Ramaze, Rango)"

Merb? Does anyone maintain that, or use it for new projects?

Has anyone used Rango such that they could comment on it?

SkyMarshal• 16 years ago

Since Merb merged with Rails to become Rails 3, yes. But I don't know what it's state as independent project is now.
