Love that fast start of the actual video. No long pre speech or intro shit.

Ruby community is enjoying the perks of the language and happily churning out scalable code through rails. It will be fun to read comments against it when ruby 3 comes out this year

I find there is a great utility in Ruby and Rails for learning purposes. If learning web development seems scary and intimidating it can help you get a start. Then you can branch out into Node/Express or whatever else at your leisure. I mean it's still okay in my book for professional development but it is also a good way to build confidence and alleviate fear.

"this technology is fading away" makes no sense. You could just say that about Laravel, Django, Symfony and any other frameworks. All of those do the same thing

Hello, I really liked the video, I have a question that is not aligned with this theme.




Do you believe every web application should use any of these reactive frameworks like vue.js or react?




I like ERB and I find it very practical, but I'm ashamed to use jquery in 2019 ... :(

what ?? not a single Ruby joke in a video with a Ruby title ... I am kind of disappointed :(

I think this is good advice
* look at jobs
* learn tips & techniques
* maybe it's not a learners job to pick a Webb server or solve for hypergrowth

But some advice was poor

* Ruby + Rails exists and has a healthy marketplace
* I do not believe I can say the same for node. Most JS is hype-driven-development

You should make a new video about this and RoR

Hi Stef! Love your videos. Need some advice. Want to get int a development world. Now, I'm a 41 y. old. What kind of path would you suggest to start with? I want to learn something that is more stable than Javascript, but maybe I'm wrong. So many new frameworks, this and that. Any advice? Thanks

I stopped watching the video when says php is a good option to learn.

Choose one of the bigger alternatives in terms of job opportunities. PHP, Node and Python. PHP being the biggest in terms of jobs at the moment.

What do you think about Jekyll? The static site generator that is dependent on Ruby.

hi Stefan, when a job says you need 3 years experience of language x, you don't have any knowledge of it but you really want the job. I can study it, make projects with it and be confident on language x within a month. for this scenario, how would you workaround the experience requirement?

As a person who just started the first week working as a web developer - Ruby on Rails to be specific, here are my two cents.
Although this tech is not popular I think it could be also a huge huge benefit.
I knew java before and I have applied for more than 50+ jobs but all of them required IT degree(huge companies logic, lol) and I did not get respond ( I had fine projects and resume..), also keep in mind that at least in Poland there 300 juniors java developer for one position and for rails in the other hand much less candidates.

I see tons of COBOL jobs where I am at. LOL!

[davidbasil]

Rails is great. It has nice front end features that other back end frameworks lack: turbolinks and ujs.
What I dont like about that despite being a huge framework it lacks elementary and necessary built in packages such as authorization, authentication and image manipulation. Also Ruby is a strange language compared to js, php or python.

Ruby and Rails developers should be happy you're talking about it even if it's bad. In marketing, bad press is better than no press!!! hahaha Java PHP and Python is where it's at for backend development.

I would say, if you know rails and ruby keep it up. Currently where I am the financial sector are crying for cobal dudes. Local town hall even more hard on for pascal or Microsoft access programmers… now the last two… Uhm I have no idea what or why but that is what they want.if you can do pascal or Microsoft access with vba, pretty nice salaries to be honest… not Google rich but most way there plus the government job perks they have here so ends up being same package almost plus you go home at 5pm. Actually if you can do Visual Basic you would be even better paid!

Is this guy reliable? I am a noobie/newbie so just wanna know the right thing to watch.

If you're talking about frameworks then I have no idea about comparisons with Rails. But if you are talking about the language then I don't know WHY anyone would choose anything over Ruby. Ruby is the MOST human-readable language that I have worked with. I have worked with PHP, Python, and Ruby. The number one problem people have with Rails (and any other framework really) is not learning the underlying language and then when you have to look under the hood to customize something, you get stuck. So really yes I agree with you in a sense that you should learn whatever language makes you happy or gets you the income, but I still say Ruby is the most human-readable. Hell, Ruby was written "to make programmers happy"!!!😁😁😁
