Rails is just Ruby. It's not the most complicated language to learn, and you don't need to know much about computers to START developing in ruby or Rails.

See? This has nothing to do with platforms, and everything to do with realizing your strengths and weaknesses, and improving your platform when hundreds, thousands, or even millions of users trust you with their data. You can't just chalk this up to POF being on a platform you think is somehow inferior to your platform of choice.




Ruby is difficult to learn compared to learning ASP.net if you went from VB6 to ASP to ASP.net. I'm familiar with those languages.

The OP posted that he learned ASP.net as if it proved that he's really good at programming.
