I've heard so much about it but I've kinda just blown it off as a new fad.

 

I've been monkeying around with AJAX a lot lately and I'm trying my damndest to get a simple autosuggest like thing going on for my database...and more

and then I stumble upon a place called scriptaculous http://script.aculo.us/

 

I see some really awesome stuff on here.  Then I take a look at the source code and see what I think is javascript and CSS mixed together somehow.  Anyway, it's not.  It's ruby on rails.

 

Now for statement and question.

I want to learn this! It's unlike anything I've seen before.  I always wondered how Facebook controlled so many AJAX requests at one time and now I know....it just has to be this.

 

So for all you ruby on rails gurus, if I wanted to begin learning this right away.  What would you recommend is the best route.  PHP is pretty much my primary so if there is any way possible to compare this language to PHP, lead me in that direction. 

 

 

 

I've got ideas that I can't do

Thanks.....whoever

Which source file are you looking at? I downloaded scriptaculous-js-1.8.1.zip and I don't see any Ruby on Rails. :( Though I know you can combine RoR and Scriptaculous to do some very cool stuff! :)

 

Does your host have RoR enabled?

 

But you may find this interesting:

Well, I didn't see any ROR anywhere....what I did see was really odd though.

 

I found out through a little searching that I had confused ROR with jQuery.  I'm not exactly sure what this is but I'm sure there's a lot that can be done with it.  I tried out a few ROR tutorials and installed it.... I doubt it's for me, but this jQuery looks really cool.
