How fast can you learn Ruby on Rails?

If you already know a lot of object oriented programming language like JavaScript, you could learn it in a few months.

I’ve seen ads for learning the language in 15 minutes.

That’s like the Spanish lessons that say you can start speaking it in a few minutes, and the answer is no.

No means no in English and Spanish.

That’s what I mean – you don’t really learn anything you didn’t already know in that short a time.

I don’t really know anything about object oriented programming. I heard you should learn Ruby as a first language.

If you have nothing else to do, you could try a ten week Ruby on Rails boot camp. But you’ll have to spend every waking hour not in class on a server practicing to have a fair portfolio to show a potential client.

I need at least some time in the bathroom.

For people not familiar with programming, a bootcamp is too fast for you anyway. You’ll need months of practice and reading every day to get good, while a year or two is essential to be good enough to call yourself a developer.

Not if you’re developing your skills.

You’re only a developer when you’re good enough to develop their ideas and convert it to a real product.

Websites are more a service. You wrap code around their ideas.

While Ruby on Rails gives you a single framework to work with, you do have to learn the Rack code wrapper to build a great HTTP interface. And that’s going to take time.

So how much time?

Getting good at Ruby on Rails is a year long project, whereas HTML5 is a long weekend for a newbie if you skip the code modules and JavaScript is a couple of weeks.

Ruby is losing its shine right now.
