Ruby on Rails

If you want to learn Ruby, than learn Ruby.  Learning Rails is not the same as learning Ruby.  I suggest anyone who wants to learn Rails learn Ruby first because that's what Rails is built on.  There are numerous options for learning Ruby, you can try codeacademy, or learnrubythehardway.org - both free options for learning Ruby.

Do not do the Hartl Tutorial and expect to learn Ruby - you will not learn Ruby - you will learn Ruby on Rails

Hi all,

My name is Luis, and I'm a 16 years old guy from Spain. I would like to
learn Ruby because I've seen is pretty cool and seems quite easy to
learn. I tried to look for some spanish forums but they are not too
active so I'm going to post here, please forgive my poor English.

I would like to create a dynamic sports stats website and I think Ruby
is the best way to do it, but I don't know too much about databases and
I would like to ask you which one you think is better for my project. I
will start with just a few stats but the idea is to have a lot of more
from different sports. I expect to have a lot of data ;)

I have read PostgresSQL is a good idea, what do you think? Would you
recommend it? Could you gimme some tips for the installation? I'm a mac
user.

Also for the Ruby on Rails version, I'm a bit confused because I have
read a lot of different ways to set Ruby properly up. Which would be
your recommendations?

Thank you all in advance.

Br,
Luis
