Yes. I am learning Ruby on Rails for an ongoing project. Ruby looks so nice, so easy to learn. Having a background in PHP and with some experience on PHP framework, learning Ruby and Rails has not been a difficult task to me. Infact, much of the features in Rails look adopted by different PHP frameworks.
Ruby's syntax is really easy to understand , making it easy to learn. Rails makes it easy to respond to a request in different format (JSON,HTML,XML) . Just 5 lines of code and viola!. I have been trialing RubyMine IDE by Jet Brains and I have found it to be really well built. Since I have been using the debugger I have not explored the debugger functions in Ruby ( like print_r or var_dump are in PHP) but one of my colleague says that the support isn't that great. I really like the concept of gem which are the 1st or 3rd party libraries specific to a particular project. I would love to hear comments on this from my reader. If you are a Ruby developer, tell me some good tips and If you are an explorer like me, let me know if there is a particular feature that you would like to me explore in Ruby or Rails. Thats all from me for now. :)
