Should You Still Learn Ruby on Rails?

[@gardnerjp1]

Date: 7/24/2019 Q: Should you still Learn Ruby on Rails? A: Yes, good beginner code Thought I'd save you from having to watch the video if all you wanted was the answer.

[@DecaSpace]

I didn't know that Michael Phelps was into Software Development.

[@b3tablocker]

lol

[@perezr14]

at the end of the day, when you build something useful that people like, they dont care what languages you use or tools.

[@BarracksSi]

"Learn what you're paid to use," I've said before. I've had more recruiters ask me about RoR lately than anything else, which blows my mind. I agree, there's a lot of behind-the-scenes magic, so I think it helps to learn enough JS/HTML/CSS first to help understand why RoR does what it does. It also can act as a bridge to understanding MVC conventions, which helps if you add Angular to your quiver later.

[@bosniansoldier5305]

I am Ruby on Rails developer, and I do not agree completely with things said in this video. I do agree Rails is easier on beginners but do not fool yourself there are a lot of things to learn, and you will have to be good full stack developer to make quality applications in the Rails. Some experience coders like to customize everything, but there is a problem with that - not all people agree on the best way to customize a framework and you have to think about the business value of software once you move to better things. I will give you an example: Johnny is PHP developer, and he organizes his project based on his 10 years of experience. Johnny loves his design it is so awesome! Johnny for next 2 years works on the project, and he gets bored with it. Then he finds another project and moves on. Then comes Tommy also 10 year veteran in PHP and he is in charge of maintaining Johnny's code and sees it and says "This is no good we have to build this from scratch" just because he does not like that organization. This happens a lot! So convention over configuration FTW

[@nikolabrt]

I completely agree (y)

[@tuananhdo1870]

I think in Laravel framework has COC principle too

[@mr_fallout3169]

Yeah I am working on a university group project and you are right, people have strong opinions but it's often just them. It changed my attitude to standardization somewhat.

[@Microphunktv-jb3kj]

only appeal i have so far is the close-to-english syntax.. why would i learn RoR over javascript as my first language ? ain't javascript (along with html/css) and some framework for example react/vue good for beginners as well? i think learning javascript, then python would come easier than the other way around (cuz python has ident in it's syntax) i'm pretty sure i wouldn't find any work learning ruby on my small country (estonia) ... oddly i just talked to a project manager of a company.. who have hard time fiding a react developer ... i started to learn like 6months ago, learned heavily 3month.. then got tilted and stopped because the myriad of javascript frameworks u need to learn and the overwhelming amounts of tools like webpack/gulp/grunt/babel blabla u have to have to just make basic apps was overwhelming to be honest.. seems i just like to absorb too much information in shot span of time.. ? does anyone have good advice on a roadmap what shoudl i learn in wich order... i mean my friend tries to brainwash me to ignore react,angular,ember.. and go for vue/riot/express for everything.. how on earth i can find work if i don't learn most popular frameworks? i get the appeal of semantic-ui over bootstrap tho :P If anyone got some proper articulated advice, send it to jarmo at online ee

[@anthoneygrose9248]

Microphunktv When they say Ruby on rails is better , he is referring to a bigger coding scheme , alot of people like to say its easy for beginners because it's "simple" ... But coding a big project isn't simple , especially if you have a team to work together on the project... That said there are several java script "Codes" to learn , you already know java script and a couple other simple languages before you use ruby. I think he is referring to NODE JS , and Python as the popular competition , Node seems simple as you should already know some basic JS , however it seems to me that NODE is just BS and it will be an issue mixing the older basic language with the new NODE and several other JS codes. And Python is so popular , however it's a huge language with poor format , so Ruby seems the obvious best language.

[@danjacob3043]

Very helpful, thank you Ben Stiller!

[@isunktheship]

It's an excellent way to jump into web development, exposure to the MVC pattern, and working with databases.

[@dacypher22]

I am not a RoR developer and in fact have just barely looked at it. But one thing I am definitely jealous about is along the lines of what you mentioned in the video: The fact that all decisions are made for you. This really shows as a major difference when you compare Ruby to the Javascript community (my main platform). JS has a bazillion tools, frameworks and libraries. And to get a job or claim an expert level in JS, you really need to have experience with more than one of each. For example, for running tasks the original heavy hitter was Grunt, so we all learned that. Then 6 months later, Gulp stole the spotlight and so the community quickly threw out wrapper packages for everything to support that and we all ported. Now, another 6 months later, there seem to be people going back to just writing npm scripts for everything. So you can see just for one small use-case (running tasks) we have had 3 major solutions in under 2 years. Things get much crazier when you start talking about frameworks and the learning curve goes up exponentially. But it seems in the Rails community, there is one major tool for every problem and you are expected to use it. That is great provided the tool meets your needs. There are less things you need to know to check-off "Rails Developer" on your resume which is a definite plus for beginners. And there is less upheaval in the community.

[@DesignbyBK]

Coming from objective c and swift background. I have learned javascript and its amazing, just like swift language. I believe swift language was inspired by javascript. I'm thinking about going for AngularJs And NodeJs

[@fulleride05]

Coming from NodeJS I have to pick up Rails 5 API to serve a React App. Never using anything Ruby, this is spot on from my experience. Node you literally have a sandbox and everyone has an opinion on how you should build making it rough to start. Rails you have this one way to do it which is fantastic. I really like that I could do React-Rails all baked together or I could just use the bits of Rails for an API and still keep my React front end away from the asset pipeline. The only issue I ever have is for some reason always going to 3 places to find solutions to an error nothing is typically straightforward as I'd like. Maybe it's me but that's my only ever complaint.

[@machadolopes]

You absolutely right, from a beginner Rails enthusiast.

[@akash-kumar737]

Let me tell you right now Airbnb and Kickstarter are using reactjs and redux. Personally I have seen many website moving from Ruby on rails to Reactjs one such example is Codecademy, where I first started learning code and right know they have moved there code base to Reactjs from Ruby on Rails. My advice is if you are learning for just making some cool project then only go for Ruby on Rails but in case you want to be professional in web development then go for JavaScript based framework/ library such as Reactjs or AngularJs or Vue.js for frontend and nodejs for backend this is the best bet for now.

[@EarlyForgaen]

Great to hear that it is still relevant. I wonder however that while loads of new content management systems with increased versatility are coming out, people may not be so motivated to learn RoR or code from the ground up if they can get results quicker the 'easy' way. Of course there will be drawbacks for the CMS route as it will never be as versatile as coding. Would be great to hear a vid on this...

[@Guinhulol]

Go for it, Ruby rocks!!

[@MIKEaddictedtoYT]

I think the biggest word that was missed within this video was "intuitive". Ruby is built almost to be able to speak the code, it's like writing pseudo-code in my opinion. You don't have to run through the semantics, it handles it for you and that's why new developers are going to really enjoy this in terms of moving into the field. Once they learn this, there may be a learning curve moving to other languages that don't hold their hand as much, but they will be focused on the semantics of what is happening or what they want to do rather than the syntax or figuring out how to layout what they actually want to do. I think Ruby on Rails is a great tool to have, old or new developer, as an experienced developer it's easy to pick up, and simply another tool to have in your arsenal and as a new developer it's just an incredibly intuitive jumping off point to get your feet wet.

[@carlrossi]

Looking at timelines, Web Object appears to have been around longer. I don't do any coding, but I like to just look into stuff. There is a community for Web Object (WO) and I also noticed Ruby buttons in the developer editor. Then I saw that Apple introduced Ruby in Leopard in '05. Occasionally, I will see a web objects url on the Apple web site. Is there any significance left to learning Web Objects in its current form? What is your take on the history of WO and Ruby?

[@InvincibleMan99]

thanks for your opinion. btw what is your setup for recording, if you don't mind :-)

[@pennybeats4435]

Hi, I have a question not necessarily relating to this video but just with programming in general. I have recently started and I really really love it. I am a senior in High School and am trying to pick the right college for me... My main question is if I were to major in business, and take computer programming classes/possibly minor in it, would it be difficult to find a decent job I'm the field if that's what I decided to do?

[@higherbookings1825]

What would you recommend for a script/scraper language? Nodejs?

[@sinistergate]

heyoo iam ruby, and you still love me so much

[@thomasstarzynski6787]

You should do a followup video of the followup video, is it still still relevant?

[@onemonth]

haha! Yes probably :)

[@steve981jm]

A few years ago I was trying to decide whether to learn Python and Django or Ruby and Rails. I chose Python and Django. I had no programming experience. Long story short, that was the wrong decision for a beginner and after a fair amount of wasted time I switched to Ruby and RoR. Some of the bad advice I got was, 1. it doesn't matter which you learn, and 2. with Python you can see what is going on better than with Rails. The first is wrong. The second is true if you are an experienced programmer. If not, you are better off not getting involved with as much behind the scenes details.

[@cryingbball]

Ruby on rails is still fucking great for a simple CRUD implementation.

[@joharuno]

Thank you very much! I am a brand new beginner and interested ultimately in video game AI development or level programmer. I'm planning on starting with RoR because I believe it will give me marketable skills for web apps even tho that's not my end goal. Thoughts on how to go about it? experience? Thanks you very much!

[@cbuckley5697]

For game scripting, Lua and python are probably the most popular to use. For core language, C++. it's used for 99.99% of games although most companies use pre developed engines, sometimes with custom modifications.

[@loekTheDreamer]

thanks for clearing that up!

[@ClassicCartoonsNL]

What about learning php as a first language and afterwards ruby?

[@onemonth]

I'd suggest ruby, or python to start with. I suppose it depends what demographic or field you want to get into: some content sites (government, NBC, Columbia University) use platforms like Drupal which is written in PHP. If you're going to get into making blogs specifically than PHP is popular. But if you're going to get into app development, work at a startup, or build your own team from scratch: python or ruby are where to start. *This is my opinion, there's not just one correct answer.*

[@FladioArmandika]

what do you think about java in web development?

[@onemonth]

I think it's great. It's made a big comeback. Pivotal Labs is a big proponent of this. Also check out Java frameworks like Scala.

[@yeabuddy9365]

Go for it bro, I learned RoR first. After building 5 or 6 apps and gaining a solid understanding (whatever that means) I got into PHP with the Laravel framework and I'm happy I did it in that order. Laravel goes a bit deeper and uncovered some of what rails does for you in different ways and visa versa but for what its worth I say learn rails first... UNLESS youre looking for a quick job, then I reccomend PHP, or JS(Either the MERN or MEAN stack)

[@TaylorHuston]

Ruby's forgiving nature is one of the reasons I don't recommend it as a first language, mainly because it teaches people to be sloppy coders. RoR was hot for startups for a while, meaning it was great for job prospects, but that's died off a bit. If you want a solid language with transferable skills and the best job prospects, go into JavaScript. It's more of a learning curve at first, but it will be better in the long run.

[@cd78]

javascript is not an application framework though. You are not comparing apples with apples

[@sandeepvk]

Wow that was motivating ! thanks for that buds. I have heard a lot of negativity about learning ROR ( from established programmers) and this video helped me clear that. Should i learn Rails or Ruby first ?

[@yudtpb]

You'll need just a little from ruby, and, after that you go to rails, my sugestion is, codecademy (www.codecademy.com/)

[@sandeepvk]

Thank you for that. Yes I have heard tons about Code academy. Also have heard about linda.com and tree house from the ads, ofcourse. Say, if I need to learn the full stack - I am thinking of HTML / CSS / RUBY and Swtift ( Objective C) as I am keener on the apple world than android. Is this a good stack to learn. I want to get on top of all of these (except Objective C) in the next six months.

[@simpleeasyplanner5862]

@sandy, if you ask me i would recommend that you learn Python first. mainly because you will learn how to write readable quality code. Then move on to ruby which will be a breeze after python. then learn how to use the rails plartform. Thats how i did it and i am fucking greatful of it

[@chaosmagican]

How exactly does python promote readable quality code? I've seen horrible, horrible things in any language :D Just curious because I haven't spend that much time on python and since I learned Ruby first I had a hard time getting used to python syntax (which I find cumbersome). In Ruby the actual programming makes so much fun that I had an easier and more fun time enhancing the code than in any other language.

[@sandeepvk]

I am going to mostly stick to web apps and app development. Would you still consider Python as the first choice.

[@about2flip]

Should I learn Ruby first before diving into rails?

[@steve981jm]

If you are already a programmer then learn Ruby first then Rails. If you are new to programming and Web development you might try learning them simultaneously. The reason I say that is you can buy a Ruby book and go through it to the end, and have no idea how that relates to building a website (assuming that's your goal). If you are okay with that then learn Ruby first.

[@Соционика23]

no

[@JesusCastello]

Yes, since Rails is made with Ruby. Learning Ruby first will help you understand & use Rails.

[@alienm00sehunter]

I don't agree. To get started, you have to understand: servers, clients, package managers, routes, controllers, views, models, databases, SQL, the different types of sql, OO, inheritance, html, JavaScript. Plus, you need to understand how to use a terminal, and how to install everything. When I started, I had been programming for 6 years and was completely confused.

[@sameers2699]

Hi Alex, if you are using Ruby On Rails then you can use heroku to upload your site & make it available for the whole internet :)

[@ANKITGUPTA-xl9uz]

Hello, i m a computer science student n i m still confused which language i choose to make a career in....

[@developmentstuff7738]

Just choose whatever language you need to know to build your desired app. You can always learn another language if you want to do completely different project. Knowledge of different languages helps you to understand about how programming works a little bit more. Just build something miaaan, goodluck

[@DesignbyBK]

ANKIT GUPTA go for javascript. In future you can learn angularJS or ReactJS or even NodeJS

[@goldilockszone4389]

Stefan Mischook in his video mentions that Ruby ( thus ROR) is fading ? I was not convinced but then I would rather learn Node.Js than Ruby as a beginner

[@goldilockszone4389]

Wow this was the best answer ever thanks mate...I just feel the data is inaccurately representing rise and fall of languages...First of all I go only by tiobe and stackshare. Both these sites have Ruby on the rise and Node.js is a on 16th position. way to go my friend

[@johng5261]

node is often a job requirement when its not even the main stack. For instance a rails job posting might say you need to know node for some asset pipeline tools. It's a very good term to just throw into your job posting. If you need to know rails though, you can bet they are probably using it, as it's not seen as some sort of tech "extra" so to speak, its the real center of a backend. So with that, it's very possible that there are more rails jobs, or just as much as rails.

[@johng5261]

Also noticed many front end jobs list "node" as something they would like you to have because of the front end tooling which uses it. That is not really "using" node though.

[@goldilockszone4389]

Hi John - ROR may be constrained due to it Web Apps ecosystem. As with other languages like Python which are widely used in Academia and for cutting edge scientific world ROR has been limited to the Web world. I would think Node may over throw that positing because is i based on Javascript as its base. Well its just my feeling I don;t have any data to back up my claim.

[@johng5261]

Everyone says that btw, Python is used in academia, and for math, and NASA even uses it. It's like some reassurance that you are using something the really "smart" people use. In reality though, if you are a web dev, that's not you. You are trying to create a solution for a specific web problem, not use a math library to populate arrays for you. The great applications made with Rails are way more along my line than most things made in Python at the web level hands down.

[@hamdumohammedwow]

hey brother i think i like Ruby... so can u give some advice like things i have know b4 i start reading abt Ruby?

[@onemonth]

Sure thing! What are you wondering? I created a course for Ruby beginners! onemonth.com/courses/ruby I also wrote this comparison piece on Ruby vs. Python that is helpful when getting started: learn.onemonth.com/ruby-vs-python/

[@yanz_77]

dont trust this guy.. if you are really beginner in "how to code" or maybe web development, dont jump directly to Rails, trust me, you'll get lost. Instead, learn some basic algorithm on how web works, OOP and so on and then try to make your simple web application in PHP. After you make some project, you'll get more problem solve skill, understanding the essentials then you can choose another backend framework that maybe more powerful, like Laravel, Django, and sure, Rails.

[@onemonth]

Hey Adrian! There's not one "right" way to learn. Here at One Month our method involves having a Growth Mindset and encouraging all our students to take their own path in learning. Coding is about problem solving - not tools. And so we ask our students to find the problem, and work backwards towards a solution. Rails is one way of doing that - it happens to be one of the quickest ways to show results. But we also offer JavaScript, HTML, and Python as starting points. Everyone has to find their own path, but we're here to make it easier to get started. Best!

[@yanz_77]

One Month, hey.. I agree with you that there's no "right" way to learn something, but there will be more effective way. And you just said that you guys there to make it easier for your students to get started, then I'll tell you, if you want some easier (and maybe fun) programming path at the beginning, then dont choose Ruby, instead get PHP. You can learn Ruby later after you get the essential. Ruby has so many magic in it's code that will make you lost and get frustated to understand and track down it's code. More magical = hard debug. Last but not least, most used and powerful framework/language doesn't make it easy to learn

[@avaragecommenter2180]

I recommend studying instead of finding out the "best" or fastest way.

[@RICOLWANG]

I agree with you! PHP is the easiest way to go for web dev beginners. Then start to consider other frameworks and other languages. Java is another great option for building large scale web applications.

Could someone tell the best website to learn ruby on rails plz.

[@harrisonoke4440]

[@BoxingHacker]

I definitely don't agree. I think learning a language that is more syntactically strick and more type safety. it's good to start with hard first and get used to it

[@Deontjie]

So a forgiving language is good? If a programmer make mistakes the interpreter should continue? Do you listen to yourself?

[@dreamer9913]

No idea what I'm doing. Righr now I'm learning, html, ror and I still feel like I'm learning nothing. Should I learn ruby? javs? idk haha. I'm new to all this and completely doing a 180 with school.

[@JesusCastello]

Forget about Rails for now... You should focus on learning the fundamentals of programming first. Concepts like arrays, variables, conditional logic, etc. Once you understand these things then everything will become a lot easier. I made a video about this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3m2kGegfceMrdk

[@Mr.Plutonium]

Ruby developers have the highest salaries typically.

[@stevenaguilera9202]

Damn, really ? I am just learning Ruby. I am coming from PHP. I just think PHP is so dirty. I have read that it's "easy" but it was honestly and still kinda is hard for me to grasp it. I picked up Ruby faster than a cat can lick its ass.

[@christophercarr5865]

That's because there aren't any junior RoR developers with jobs. :-)

[@christophercarr5865]

Ruby has pedagogical utility, but don't expect to get a job as a junior RoR dev.

[@mirozake]

Why didn't you use a framework Laravel to clean things up and keep using PHP? It seems to me like a better path, but I'm sure you considered this and I'm interested in hearing from you.

[@agaahi4714]

YOu are a great man. May God bless you.

[@GmoneyStylez]

I see a few 70k+ jobs around here for rails

[@wepranaga]

yeah better learn ruby or python. i live with php or javascript now you'd find zillions of frameworks that tries to do same thing. laravel, zend, codeigniter, node, express, and all the other stuff whereas if you go ruby you learn rails. so are with python django. its somewhat standard that nobody (maybe) even question it. whereas at php and javascript world. everybody has totaly different direction. which could be pain in the ass to work with because different people learn different frameworks while you need to be on the same page to go with a team. so rather than spending time actually building, we're spending more time actually learning about this new framework that just come out or anything like that that is not really productive

[@Isaacalelopez]

[@radecreative6620]

[@yudtpb]

in my opinion, is a good language, and yes, you can build your web-apps. my only concern is when you start looking for jobs, we find many jobs for java and php, and some for ruby on rails, but i really like ruby on rails.

IMHO you should poke around a bunch of languages and see what "clicks" for you. JS drives me crazy, but Ruby & Rails just made sense. What works for you might be different. Once you know what works for you, become an expert, then go get that job.

[@ReductioAdAbsurdum]

Rails values succinctness over every other metric. It's a _terrible_ thing to foist on beginners. There's way too much magic, too little transparency, to much that's done by convention rather than being explicit in the code, and when the abstraction leaks a beginner will be completely fucked.

[@navymiguelito]

People will opt to choose the language that serves their best interest, and not necessarily follow the standards of a programming language's community. You may wish that everyone codes using best practices, but that's being idealistic. You will always have your quick-and-dirty programmers just out to make a fast buck. If the client is happy, good on them. But I'd hate to be the guy that follows him or her when they up and move on. There is no perfect language out there because people have abused its utility.

[@AlchemistCamp]

[@BDolla219]

I think rails is the last language u should learn javascript and python with django u should understand those first... start with javascript algorithms... ruby is all call backs and they made it to make coding like lamen terms.

Rails is not a language, it's a framework bult on top of Ruby. The language is Ruby & any programming language is challenging to learn if it's your first :)

[@lousteauphil6811]

I think rails is not relevant any more, in the past it filled the gaps of javascript and HTML, now web components and es6 are going to be adopted everywhere. So you can stay with a basic dev stack : JS, HTML, CSS (node.js to serve the app). Ruby + rails + haml (most of the time) + coffe script adds too much complexity above basic knowledge (HTTP, HTML, CSS, JS)
