Learning Ruby On Rails

I was impressed recently with the Rails knowledge that Colin (on the job since May with a basic knowledge of XHTML/CSS) has picked up in the short amount of time that he's been here. A few weeks ago I noticed he was digging into the Ruby API all on his own and manipulating data himself without having to consult the elders. Would this have been possible in .NET, JSP or even PHP? I doubt it. It's Rails' simple, intuitive structure with it's conventions and automation that make that type of rapid learning possible.

Way to go Rails. Way to go Colin.

Of course, there are many other benefits to web development with Rails but I'll leave that to Shawn or Adam to expand on.
